Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for generating a predetermined or predeterminable reception characteristic on a digital hearing aid with at least two microphones, in which the output signals of the microphones are subjected to an analog / digital conversion, the digitally converted signals are additively superimposed after at least one the digital signals have been subjected to a given or adjustable time delay, the analog / digital conversion of the at least one time-delayed signal also being carried out by means of oversampling.
- the present invention relates to a digital hearing aid with at least two microphones, the microphones depending on the analog / digital converters connected downstream, the analog / digital converter outputs, at least one of them via a delay element, being operatively connected to the inputs of an additive superimposition unit, and at least the via the delay element acting on the superimposition unit analog / digital converter is designed as an analog / digital converter with oversampling.
- delay and add method for generating predefined or predefinable reception characteristics, in particular also on digital hearing aids with at least two microphones.
- This is achieved according to the invention in the method of the type mentioned at the outset in that the digital signal converted by means of oversampling, after downsampling, is both time-delayed and matched, or in that the delay element on the hearing device of the type mentioned at the outset as a down-sampled filter element is formed, which is also used for level adjustment of the signals supplied to the superimposition unit.
- Fig. 2 on the hearing aid according to the invention according to Fig. 1 is a block diagram of the level adjustment unit and the resulting level gradation.
- two microphones 3a and 3b are provided on the hearing aid 1 according to the invention, which are physically arranged at a predetermined distance from one another.
- the output signals of the microphones 3a and 3b are each converted into digital signals on the analog / digital converter 5a or 5b.
- At least one the aforementioned analog / digital converter is oversampled, as shown, for example, on converter 5a.
- the output signal of the converter 5a which is designed, for example, as a sigma / delta converter, is downsampled on a filter unit 7, for example as a one-bit output data stream, as a result of which data words of, for example, 16 bits are produced in series.
- the time delay ⁇ is set or changed in accordance with the "delay and add" directional method, which can be carried out minimally in increments of data words with a correspondingly lower keying frequency.
- the level of the digital signal appearing on the output side is adjusted, which is possible in a very simple manner by shifting, adding / subtracting the data words formed on the filter unit 7.
- the digital signals on the output side of the second analog / digital converter 5b provided, possibly passed through a further filter unit 9, are present on the output side in the same data format as the digital output signals of the filter unit 7.
- the output signals of the Units 8 and 9 are superimposed on a digital superimposition unit 11 and, if necessary, fed via a filter 12 to the digital processing unit 13 of the hearing aid, which acts on the output side on the electromechanical output transducer of the hearing aid.
- FIG. 2 shows the block diagram of the level adjustment unit on the unit 8 according to FIG. 1 and, in table form, the level gradation scale that can be achieved with it.
- both time delay ⁇ and level adjustment P can be implemented by means of delay elements, for example shift registers.
