Definitions

  • the invention relates to a specified in claim 1 arrangement and a specified in claim 8 method for wireless data transmission between hearing aids.
  • Hearing aids are portable hearing aids that are used to care for the hearing impaired.
  • different types of hearing aids such as behind-the-ear hearing aids, hearing aids with external earphones and in-the-ear hearing aids, e.g. also provided Concha hearing aids or channel hearing aids.
  • the hearing aids listed by way of example are worn on the outer ear or in the ear canal.
  • bone conduction hearing aids, implantable or vibrotactile hearing aids are also available on the market. The stimulation of the damaged hearing takes place either mechanically or electrically.
  • Hearing aids have in principle as essential components an input transducer, an amplifier and an output transducer.
  • the input transducer is usually a sound receiver, z. As a microphone, and / or an electromagnetic receiver, for. B. an induction coil.
  • the output transducer is usually used as an electroacoustic transducer, z. As miniature speaker, or as an electromechanical transducer, z. B. bone conduction, realized.
  • the amplifier is usually integrated in a signal processing unit.
  • FIG. 1 illustrated by the example of a behind-the-ear hearing aid 1.
  • a hearing aid housing 2 for carrying behind the ear one or more microphones 3 are incorporated for receiving the sound from the environment.
  • a signal processing unit 4 which is also integrated in the hearing aid housing 2, processes the microphone signals and amplifies them.
  • the output signal of the signal processing unit 4 is transmitted to a loudspeaker or receiver 5, which emits an acoustic signal.
  • the sound is optionally transmitted via a sound tube, not shown, which is fixed with an earmold in the ear canal, to the eardrum of the hearing aid wearer.
  • the energy supply of the hearing device 1 and in particular the signal processing unit 4 is effected by a likewise integrated into the hearing aid housing 2 battery 6.
  • a transmitting / receiving antenna 7 the hearing aid 1 with a remote control or binaural supply with another hearing aid wirelessly exchange data.
  • the object is achieved with the arrangement for wireless data transmission between hearing aids of independent claim 1 and the method for wireless transmission of data between hearing aids of independent claim 8.
  • the invention claims an arrangement for wireless data transmission between hearing aids with an external unit that generates and outputs a carrier signal.
  • the arrangement also comprises a first hearing aid with a first transponder, which modulates and backscatters the carrier signal, and a second hearing aid with a second transponder, which receives the carrier signal backscattered and modulated by the first transponder.
  • the invention offers the advantage that in a hearing aid for wireless data transmission little to no additional energy is needed. The energy of the data transmission provides the carrier signal of the external unit.
  • the carrier signal can be high-frequency. As a result, high data transmission ranges and transmission rates can be achieved.
  • the frequency of the carrier signal may be in the UHF range.
  • the first transponder can be supplied exclusively by the carrier signal with operating power.
  • the advantage of this is that the battery of a hearing aid is not claimed.
  • the modulated carrier signal from the first to the second hearing aid to be transmitted data. This ensures data exchange.
  • the first transponder may comprise a first antenna and the second transponder may comprise a second antenna.
  • the carrier signal can be received and radiated or backscattered.
  • the external unit may be designed as a hearing aid remote control.
  • the advantage of this is the shared use of an already existing external unit for data transmission between hearing aids.
  • the first hearing device can be supplied with operating power by the carrier signal.
  • the carrier signal may be high-frequency.
  • the method can transmit data from the first to the second hearing device by the modulation of the carrier signal.
  • the carrier signal can be modulated by a first transponder in the first hearing device and backscattered or forward scattered.
  • the modulation of the carrier signal may comprise an amplitude modulation or a phase modulation.
  • FIG. 2 shows an inventive arrangement in the form of a block diagram.
  • a first and a second hearing aid 11, 12 are arranged at the head 10 of a hearing aid wearer.
  • the first hearing device 11 comprises a first transponder 13 with a first antenna 17.
  • the second hearing device 12 comprises a second transponder 13 with a second antenna 17.
  • An external unit 15, for example a hearing device remote control, comprises a UHF transmission unit 16, which emits a carrier signal 20 in the range 856 to 920 MHz.
  • the first transponder 17 receives the carrier signal 20, modulates it with the data to be transmitted to the second hearing aid 12, and scatters the thus modulated carrier signal 21 back or forward.
  • the second transponder 14 receives the modulated, backscattered carrier signal 21, demodulates it and so can receive the transmitted data.
  • the modulation is preferably an amplitude or phase modulation.
  • the first transponder 13 Since the second transponder 18 also receives the unmodulated carrier signal 20 directly, the first transponder 13 must additionally encode the scattered signal 21 for reliable transmission.
  • the first transponder 13 comprises a first antenna 17 for receiving the carrier signal 20 and an integrated circuit (not shown) connected to the first antenna 17.
  • the second transponder 14 comprises a second antenna 18 for receiving the scattered and modulated carrier signal 21 and an integrated circuit (not shown) connected to the second antenna 18.
  • the antennas 17 and 18 are planar antennas.
  • the carrier signal 20 can transmit so much energy to the first transponder 13 that the first transponder 13 is supplied with operating power exclusively by the carrier signal 20.
  • the invention offers the advantage that little or no additional energy is required in the first hearing device 11 for wireless data transmission.
  • the power for the supply of the first transponder 13 is supplied by the carrier signal 20 of the remote control 15.
  • FIG. 2 Of course, analogously apply to a data transmission from the second hearing device 12 to the first hearing device 11.
