It should be noted that the first audio and the second audio are only sounds input at different times, and may be the same or different, and if they are the same, it is determined that the second audio is an external squeal generated by the first audio leaking out of the hearing aid.
Based on the content of the foregoing method embodiment, as an alternative embodiment, the method for suppressing external howling of a hearing aid provided in the embodiment of the present invention includes: each word in the first audio is decomposed into a plurality of phonemes, each phoneme in the plurality of phonemes is decomposed into a plurality of state points, each state point is a frame of the first audio, and all the frames form first frame-divided audio. It should be noted that the state point represents the pronunciation content represented by a frame in the first frame audio, and the technical means adopted by the second audio and the first audio in the frame processing process are the same, i.e. the acquisition process of the second frame audio is the same as that of the first frame audio, and therefore, the details are not repeated herein.
Based on the content of the foregoing method embodiment, as an optional embodiment, the method for suppressing external howling of a hearing aid provided in the embodiment of the present invention, where the determining, by frame, the content of the received first audio by judging, by frame, the first frame-divided audio includes: calling all frame states from a sentence library, acquiring the probability that a first frame in first frame audio belongs to each frame state, selecting the frame state probability corresponding to the maximum probability as the state probability of the first frame, determining the state probability of a second frame on the basis of the state probability of the first frame, determining the state probability of each target frame on the basis of a front frame and a rear frame adjacent to each target frame from a third frame, determining the state probability of the first frame audio according to the state probability of the first frame, the state probability of the second frame and the state probability of each target frame, and determining the content of the first audio according to the state probability of the first frame audio. It should be noted that, the technical means adopted for determining the content of the received second audio by judging the second framed audio frame by frame is the same as the technical means adopted for determining the content of the received first audio by judging the first framed audio frame by frame, and therefore, the details are not repeated here. The sentence library stores a large amount of frame states in advance, and the frame states are different phonemes corresponding to different words (phonemes of words with similar pronunciations may have partial phonemes crossed) and different states corresponding to different phonemes (namely, frames, partial frames may also have partial crossings between partial frames due to possible crossings of phonemes) according to experience, and then the frame states are stored in the sentence library in advance. Each target frame refers to each frame in the first framed audio (or the second framed audio) from the third frame until the final frame for which a state probability needs to be determined.
Based on the content of the foregoing method embodiment, as an alternative embodiment, the method for suppressing hearing aid external howling provided in this embodiment of the present invention includes obtaining a probability that a first frame in a first frame audio belongs to each frame state, selecting a frame state probability corresponding to a maximum probability as a state probability of the first frame, determining a state probability of a second frame based on the state probability of the first frame, and determining a state probability of each target frame based on a previous frame and a subsequent frame adjacent to each target frame from a third frame, where the method includes:

for the (n-1) th frame and the (n-2) th frameThe probability of simultaneous occurrence, N, is the number of all frames in the first framed audio. It should be noted that the sentence library stores the pre-calculated occurrence probability (i.e., state probability, including the conditional probability before and after the occurrence of each frame) of each frame, after the first frame of the first frame audio (or the second frame audio) is obtained, only the probability (i.e., state probability) of each frame state corresponding to the first frame needs to be searched in the sentence library, and then the maximum value of the state probability (as shown in formula (1)) is taken to determine the state point corresponding to the first frame. The determination of the second frame is linked with the state point of the first frame (the principle is that when a person speaks, a word sent out before is linked with an adjacent word, so that the content of a word behind can be determined more accurately under the condition of determining the word ahead), so that the state point of the second frame can be determined only under the condition of determining the state point of the first frame, and the state probability of the second frame after the state probability of the first frame is determined is integrated by the conditional probability of the formula (2). Similarly, the state probability of each subsequent target frame is obtained based on the state probabilities of the adjacent frames (i.e., the previous frame and the next frame of the target frame), which can be specifically referred to as formula (3).
Based on the content of the foregoing method embodiment, as an alternative embodiment, the method for suppressing hearing aid external howling provided in this embodiment of the present invention, where determining the state probability of the first frame audio according to the state probability of the first frame, the state probability of the second frame, and the state probability of each target frame includes:

wherein the content of the first and second substances,
Figure DEST_PATH_IMAGE074
is the state probability of the first framed audio,
Figure DEST_PATH_IMAGE076
the product is taken from the state probability of the third frame to the state probability of the nth frame. It should be noted that the state probability of the first frame audio is determinedThe state points of each frame of the first frame audio and the phonemes obtained according to the state points are determined, and all words (namely, contents) of the first audio are determined according to the phonemes. For example, if the state probability of the first framed audio determined according to equation (4) exceeds 0.5 (which may exceed 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, or 0.9 in another embodiment), it is stated that the state points of each frame determined according to the state probabilities of the respective frames are correct, i.e., the state content of each frame of the first framed audio is determined, and thus the content of the first audio is determined. The corresponding processing of the second framed audio applies equally to equations (1) through (4), except that the frames represent meaning frames in the second framed audio.
Based on the content of the foregoing method embodiment, as an optional embodiment, the method for suppressing external howling of a hearing aid provided in the embodiment of the present invention includes splitting the second audio into an operational amplifier and an inverting operational amplifier to obtain a first amplified audio and a second amplified audio, and synthesizing the first amplified audio and the second amplified audio to complete suppression of external howling of the hearing aid, including: the voice shunt is opened in a shunting mode, the second audio is sent to the operational amplifier and the reverse operational amplifier at the same time, the operational amplifier conducts forward amplification on the received second audio to obtain first amplified audio and sends the first amplified audio to the synthesizer, the reverse operational amplifier conducts reverse amplification on the received second audio to obtain second amplified audio and sends the second amplified audio to the synthesizer, the synthesizer synthesizes the first amplified audio and the second amplified audio, the first amplified audio and the second amplified audio are eliminated at the same time, and inhibition of external squeal of the hearing aid is completed. It should be noted that the phases of the second amplified audio and the first amplified audio after being reversely amplified by the inverting operational amplifier are opposite, so that the two amplified audio can be mutually cancelled after being synthesized, so that the second audio (i.e. the external howling of the first audio) is eliminated, and the external howling is suppressed.
According to the external howling suppression method for the hearing aid, provided by the embodiment of the invention, the received first audio is framed to obtain a first framed audio, the content of the received first audio is determined by judging the first framed audio frame by frame and similarly the content of the second audio is obtained, if the content of the first audio is the same as that of the second audio, the second audio is determined to be the external howling of the hearing aid, the first amplified audio and the second amplified audio are synthesized, the suppression of the external howling of the hearing aid is completed, the external howling of the hearing aid can be effectively suppressed, and the user experience of hearing-impaired patients for obtaining external sounds by using the hearing aid is improved.
