Abstract
The present invention relates to a hearing aid system using a portable terminal and a fitting method thereof. A hearing aid system using a portable terminal according to the present invention includes a hearing aid program, a portable terminal for performing near field communication with a microphone, a web server for receiving hearing information of a user from a user terminal based on a user terminal environment, and The fitting parameter may be generated using the hearing information, and the fitting server may transmit the fitting parameter to the portable terminal. According to the present invention, when the user's hearing information is input to the user terminal, the fitting parameter can be transmitted from the fitting server to the portable terminal, and thus the user can use the optimized hearing aid program through the portable terminal. In addition, the fitting process can be conveniently handled in response to changes in the hearing condition of the user, so that hearing protection can be continuously managed. In addition, since the ear microphone using the battery of the portable terminal is used, the ear microphone can be used without replacing the battery.
Description
The present invention relates to a hearing aid system using a portable terminal and a fitting method thereof, and more particularly, to a hearing aid system using a portable terminal, and a hearing aid system using a portable terminal capable of receiving a user-specific fitting program and a fitting method thereof. It is about.
As the life expectancy increases due to the development of modern medical technology, the number of elderly people is rapidly increasing. As the elderly population increases, the number of people with hearing loss is increasing, and the demand for hearing aids is increasing accordingly. If you look at the types of people who are hearing impaired, some people have a disability for small sounds, while others can hear small sounds well, but others do not.
The hearing aids used up to now have a small semiconductor chip inserted therein to amplify the sound, and selectively change the amplification intensity of the semiconductor chip according to the hearing loss of the hearing impaired person. However, in the case of the hearing aid according to the prior art, a large battery is required because the power consumption of the semiconductor chip is very high, and the size thereof is very large, which makes it difficult to miniaturize. In particular, since the price of the battery is very expensive, there is an economic difficulty in replacing the battery.
In addition, in order to prevent deafness due to excessive amplification of hearing aids and to ensure a clean voice recognition function, it is necessary to perform hearing aid fitting to be most suitable for a user. However, according to the prior art, when fitting the hearing aid purchased once, it was very inconvenient to separate the hearing aid, there is a problem that it is difficult to finely fitting to optimize the hearing condition of the user.
Accordingly, an aspect of the present invention is to provide a hearing aid system having a hearing aid function in a portable terminal and a hearing aid system using a portable terminal capable of receiving a user-specific fitting program, and a fitting method thereof.
A hearing aid system using a portable terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention for storing the hearing aid program, and a portable terminal for performing short-range communication with a microphone, from the user terminal based on the environment of the user terminal And a web server for receiving hearing information of a user, and a fitting server for generating fitting parameters using the hearing information and delivering the fitting parameters to the portable terminal.
The portable terminal may execute the hearing aid program to which the fitting parameter is applied.
The fitting parameter may include a gain value or amplification degree for each frequency band.
The fitting server may transmit the fitting parameter to the portable terminal through the user terminal.
The apparatus may further include a user database storing hearing information of the user and telephone number information of the user terminal.
The fitting server may transmit the fitting parameter to the portable terminal through a mobile communication company server.
The ear microphone may include a microphone for converting a voice signal input from the outside into an electrical signal, a transmitter / receiver for transmitting the voice signal to the portable terminal, and receiving a fitting analog signal from the portable terminal, and the fitting process. It may include a speaker that converts the analog signal into a voice signal and outputs.
The portable terminal may include an equalizer unit capable of performing a fitting process.
In the fitting method of a hearing aid system using a portable terminal according to another embodiment of the present invention, receiving hearing information of a user from the user terminal based on a user terminal environment, generating a fitting parameter using the hearing information. And forwarding the fitting parameters to a portable terminal performing near field communication with the microphone.
As described above, when the user's hearing information is input to the user terminal, the fitting parameter may be transmitted from the fitting server to the portable terminal, and thus the user may use the optimized hearing aid program through the portable terminal.
In addition, the fitting process can be conveniently handled in response to changes in the hearing condition of the user, so that hearing protection can be continuously managed. In addition, since the ear microphone using the battery of the portable terminal is used, the ear microphone can be used without replacing the battery.
