Description

Binaural hearing aid device used in cooperation with Bluetooth headset
Technical Field
The invention relates to a binaural hearing aid device matched with a Bluetooth earphone, belonging to the technical field of hearing aid devices.
Background
Hearing function deterioration in the elderly is a common phenomenon and increases year by year with increasing age. An electronic hearing aid is generally used for people who have no medical treatment available, and is a small sound amplifying device used by hearing-impaired people and used for compensating hearing loss. The first hearing aid with carbon hearing was invented by the american scientist Bell since 1878. Hearing aids have been developed over a hundred years and are now popular primarily in the form of boxes, glasses, behind-the-ear, custom, concealed, open, standard ear canals and other types.
The box-type hearing aids are used by children and the old, have larger volume, can be provided with a plurality of function adjusting switches, provide better acoustic performance, and can be easily manufactured into a high-power type so as to meet the requirements of serious deafness children. And because of the large volume and easy manufacture, the device has low price, is popular with deaf patients and is often taken as the first choice of entry-level machines. The main machine of the hearing aid is similar to a cigarette box in volume and is hung in a small bag in front of the chest or a pocket, the main machine is connected with an earphone through a lead and is inserted into an external auditory canal for use, and the main defect is that the lead is long and is not attractive and inconvenient. Moreover, the hearing aids are generally designed in a single-channel mode, the inconsistency of the hearing abilities of the ears of deaf patients is not considered, and the hearing aids cannot be used for listening to the ears even though a stereo earphone is inserted. Not only speech recognition rate is low, but also long-term monaural hearing aid can generate hearing deprivation effect, which causes hearing impairment to be more serious.
The behind-the-ear hearing aids are used by adults mostly, and are shaped like banana curviness, and generally have a length of about 4-5 cm after lying behind the ear. The opening of the receiver is connected with a sound guiding hook made of hard plastic tube, and the sound guiding hook is hung at the root part of the upper edge of the auricle, so that the hook is put into the concha cavity and the ear canal for hearing aid through the plastic tube and the ear mold earplug. When the hair-care product is worn, the hair-care product is hidden behind the ears and is often not found by the outsiders, and the psychological requirements of the deaf people can be met. However, the opening of the receiver is too close to the sound pick-up, so that the phenomenon of 'howling' is easy to occur, and a wearer feels uncomfortable and even feels mentally contradictory. In addition, all function adjusting switches are integrated in the hearing aid, and the main machine is hung on the upper edge of the auricle when the hearing aid is used, so that the operation is inconvenient. And the load-bearing capacity of ears is limited, and the hearing aids are usually small, so that the hearing aids have the advantage of being convenient to hide, but for the old, the functional adjusting switches, battery doors and the like on the hearing aids need to be frequently operated, so that the sizes of parts are too small, and the operation is extremely inconvenient.
Other types of hearing aids are expensive due to their small size or customized nature, and are not as versatile as box and behind-the-ear type hearing aids.
On the other hand, bluetooth technology has rapidly developed in recent years, which is a radio technology supporting short-range communication (generally within 10 meters) of devices. Through the Bluetooth technology, wireless information exchange can be carried out among a plurality of devices including mobile phones, PDAs, wireless earphones, notebook computers, related peripheral equipment and the like. Bluetooth technology has low radiation relative to other wireless technologies, and operates in the global ISM (i.e., industrial, scientific, medical) band of 2.4 GHz. On the other hand, the Bluetooth earphone applies the Bluetooth technology to the hands-free earphone, so that the user can avoid the wire stumbling. At present, the Bluetooth headset is very popular, the Bluetooth headset with an A2DP stereo protocol can be bought by dozens of yuan, the ergonomics is well made, the comfort level of wearing single and double ears for a long time is good, and the appearance is attractive and fashionable. No binaural hearing aid device is known for use with such devices.
