The client guides the user to select a scene, upload and download cloud data, hearing aid configuration data and other functions through the application client.
The cloud server mainly provides data interaction and service for the mobile terminal.
Example 1
As shown in fig. 2, a hearing aid user enters a manual fitting interface through a client, selects a corresponding scene coordinate point according to graphic guidance and self hearing loss conditions, the client uploads the coordinate point and a hearing aid type to a cloud server, the cloud server converts the coordinate point and the hearing aid type into a corresponding scene according to the hearing aid type and coordinates, calculates a corresponding gain compensation parameter (the operation of the compensation belongs to the common knowledge in the technical field and is not repeated here), sends the corresponding gain compensation parameter to the client, receives the gain compensation parameter through the client, performs wireless data communication with a wireless transceiver (such as a bluetooth/bluetooth low energy module) of the hearing aid through a radio frequency transceiver of a mobile terminal, downloads the gain compensation parameter to the hearing aid, and the user adjusts according to the actual effect until a satisfactory effect is achieved, and stores the fitting procedure.
The hearing aid fitting method adopts the hearing aid fitting system to realize the efficient and convenient hearing aid fitting method, and comprises the following steps:
fig. 3 shows a workflow of an application client on a client, mainly including data interaction with a cloud server, graphic guidance scene page display and configuration of hearing aid parameters. The cloud server performs data interaction mainly by downloading coordinate data of a scene and related graphic guiding information from the cloud server to the local through a network and uploading scene coordinates selected by a user to the cloud server. The graphic guide scene page display is to render an interactable coordinate interface in the interface according to scene coordinate data content returned by the cloud, display guide graphics in corresponding positions and provide visual guide and selection for users. The configuration of the hearing aid parameters is to transmit the gain compensation parameters returned by the cloud to the hearing aid in a wireless communication mode, and configure the hearing aid. The user establishes wireless connection with the hearing aid by using the client, and performs coordinate position selection according to whether the user can hear sounds shown by corresponding graphics (a bird call, an electric drill, an airplane and the like) through a user guiding interface, and sets the left and right ear hearing aids respectively until satisfactory effects are achieved, and stores and completes the verification and matching flow.
As shown in fig. 4, the workflow of the cloud server mainly includes the steps of storing the data of the preset scene and the target curve data in a database, establishing network connection with a client, establishing a corresponding relation between a coordinate point and a graph, generating a fitting curve according to the target curve and the equipment type, and regenerating gain compensation and compression ratio data. The preset scene data are preset at the cloud according to common hearing loss types, hearing banana maps and hearing loss rules, and are stored in a database. The network connection is established with the client, and the lightweight message transmission service is established with the client by using an MQTT (message queue telemetry transport) internet of things transmission protocol, so that bidirectional and reliable network data transmission can be performed. The corresponding relation between the coordinate points and the graph is established by summing up graph guiding rules (such as the range of a common bird call frequency band is 4kHz-8kHz and the sound intensity is about 20 dB) according to common hearing loss types, and data of corresponding coordinates are generated to provide data service for the mobile terminal. Generating fitting curve according to the target curve and equipment type to regenerate gain compensation and compression ratio data is to calculate fitting curve according to the point above the target curve and all the chip types of the hearing aid (the operation of the fitting curve belongs to common knowledge in the technical field and is not described in detail here), finally generating gain compensation data and compression ratio data to send to the client, and finally setting the data to the hearing aid chip of the hearing aid to ensure that the user achieves the optimal effect by using the hearing aid.
Example 2
This embodiment differs from embodiment 1 in the workflow manner of self-service user-verification.
As shown in fig. 5, after a hearing aid is connected to a client, the user enters a self-help test and match interface of the hearing aid through the client, and is guided to answer a preset question bank question through text or voice and the like, specifically, for example, the user answers 5 questions (the more and more accurate questions) firstly, determines the next question according to the answer condition of the last question, and finally confirms the corresponding scene according to the answer condition and uploads the answer condition to a cloud server, the cloud server converts the corresponding scene according to the type of the hearing aid and the answer condition of the answer question into a corresponding scene, calculates the corresponding gain compensation parameter (the compensation operation belongs to common knowledge in the technical field and is not repeated here), sends the corresponding gain compensation parameter to the client, and carries out wireless data communication through a radio frequency transceiver of the mobile terminal and a wireless transceiver (such as a bluetooth/bluetooth low energy module) of the hearing aid, the gain compensation parameter is downloaded into the hearing aid, and the user continues to answer the corresponding question according to the actual effect of the hearing aid until the satisfactory effect is reached, and the self-help test and match flow is saved.
