Definitions
- the invention relates to a specified in claim 1 method for setting a feedback suppression, a specified in claim 5 computer program product for performing the method and a specified in claim 6 hearing aid with a feedback suppression unit.
- acoustic feedback shows an arrangement shown schematically in FIG. 1 with a hearing device 1.
- An incidental acoustic signal 9 is picked up by a microphone 2 of the hearing device 1.
- the recorded signal 9 is processed and amplified in a signal processing unit 6, among others, and emitted again via a receiver 3 as an acoustic signal.
- Acoustic coupling from the receiver 3 back to the microphone 2 takes place via a physical feedback path 4.
- the recorded signal 9 therefore consists of the sum of an incoming useful signal 8 and the signal of the feedback path 4.
- feedback whistling can occur when superimpose the signals in phase. Sound artifacts can occur earlier.
- the physical feedback path 4 can be digitally replicated.
- the simulation takes place with the aid of an adaptive compensation filter 5, which is fed by the receiver signal.
- the filtered listener signal is inverted and added to the microphone signal in an adder 7.
- the resulting signals of both paths are subtracted from each other, ideally the effect of the physical feedback path 4 is canceled.
- hearing aid manufacturers are making several settings available for feedback suppression. Although a “fast” setting responds quickly to changes in the feedback path, it picks up the useful signal and leads to artifacts.A "slow” setting has good sound quality with a consistent or slow-changing feedback path, but can not change the path quickly follow, which in turn leads to feedback whistles.
- a hearing care professional must therefore specify one of the offered settings when setting the hearing aid. In his selection, he relies on his experience or on statements of the hearing aid wearer. This can lead to a suboptimal adjustment of the feedback suppression. In addition, the requirements for setting the feedback suppression frequently change in daily use. For example, if the wearer wears a hat or leans against a headrest, a "fast” setting is preferred, whereas a “slow” setting is desirable in the concert hall.
- the stated object is achieved with the method for setting a feedback suppression of independent claim 1, with the computer program program.
- the invention claims a method for adjusting a feedback suppression in a hearing device by determining feedback events, determining the frequency of the feedback events within a predeterminable first time period and by setting the feedback suppression according to the frequency of the feedback events. This offers the advantage that the hearing device can automatically select according to the feedback situation between different feedback algorithms and thus an optimum of sound and feedback quality can be achieved.
- the feedback events may be events in which the feedback suppression responds and / or in which a feedback above a predefinable feedback threshold value is detected.
- the method may include pre-optimized parameter sets for setting the feedback suppression. This makes it easy to switch between "fast” and “slow” feedback suppression algorithms.
- the method may further comprise the following steps: determining the frequency of the feedback events within a predefinable second period of time,
- the invention also claims a computer program product with a computer program which has software means for carrying out the method according to the invention when the computer program is executed in a control unit of a hearing apparatus.
- the invention also claims a hearing device with a feedback suppression unit that responds when an acoustic feedback occurs, and / or with an acoustic feedback detection unit.
- the hearing device also comprises an event unit for determining feedback events, a computing unit for determining the frequency of the feedback events within a predefinable first time interval and a control unit for setting the feedback suppression unit according to the frequency of the feedback events.
- the feedback events may be events in which the feedback suppression responds and / or in which a feedback above a predefinable feedback threshold value is detectable.
- the hearing device may comprise pre-optimized parameter sets for setting the feedback suppression unit.
- the hearing device may comprise a memory unit for storing the frequency of the feedback events occurring within a predeterminable second time duration and an output unit for outputting the stored frequency.
- the hearing device can be a hearing device with at least one microphone and at least one earpiece.
- FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of a hearing aid with feedback suppression according to the prior art
- FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of a hearing aid with feedback suppression according to the invention
- FIG. 3 shows a flow diagram of a method according to the invention for setting the feedback suppression.
- FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of a hearing device 1 with a microphone 2 for converting sound signals into an electrical microphone signal, a signal processing unit 6 which controls the microphone signal i.a. amplified and outputs as a receiver signal to a handset 3.
- the electrical handset signal is again converted into a sound signal and fed to the eardrum of a hearing aid wearer.
- the hearing aid 1 comprises a feedback suppression unit 10.
- the feedback suppression unit 10 generates from the handset signal a compensation signal which is added in inverted form to the microphone signal by means of the adder 7. This can suppress feedback artifacts.
- the feedback suppression unit 10 is controlled by a feedback detection unit 11. This controls, for example, an adaptive filter in the feedback suppression unit 10 in accordance with the occurrence of feedback.
- the feedback suppression unit 10 has four pre-optimized parameter sets which enable a setting adapted to the feedback situation. For example, a fast change of a feedback path requires one fast variable feedback rejection, whereas a slow change of the feedback path only provides slowly variable feedback rejection.
- the selection of a suitable parameter set is made by the inventive counting of feedback events within a predetermined first period of time.
- the feedback events are determined which, for example, are above a predetermined feedback threshold value.
- the frequency of the feedback events within the predeterminable first time period is determined and forwarded to a control unit 14, which selects one of the four pre-optimized parameter sets of the feedback suppression unit 10 in accordance with the determined frequency.
- the frequency of the determined feedback events within a second time duration which may for example be the time between two visits to a hearing aid acoustician, is stored in a memory unit 15 and output via an output unit 16 as required.
- the invention can also be used for hearing devices other than hearing aids.
- FIG. 3 shows a flow chart of the method according to the invention for setting a feedback suppression.
- feedback events RE are determined in which the feedback suppression responds and / or in which a feedback above a predefinable feedback threshold value is detected.
- the frequency H 1 of the feedback events RE is determined within a predefinable first time duration T 1.
- the feedback suppression is set according to the frequency Hl of the feedback events RE.
- pre-optimized parameter sets are used.
- the pre-optimized parameter sets may include feedback suppression settings with a different amount of feedback reduction and different sound quality. For example, if the frequency Hl of the feedback events RE is above a certain one
- Threshold a parameter set with a stronger feedback effect but poorer sound quality is selected. If the frequency Hl has dropped below a certain threshold, a parameter set with better sound quality but less feedback effect is selected.
- the frequency H2 of the feedback events RE is determined within a predefinable second time period T2.
- the frequency H2 of the feedback events RE occurring within the predeterminable second time period T2 is stored and, if necessary, output in step 105. The output is for example at a hearing care professional.
