Description
Technical Field
The application relates to the technical field of artificial cochlea, in particular to an artificial cochlea self-tuning method, an artificial cochlea self-tuning system and a storage medium.
Background
The artificial cochlea is a device for simulating the auditory physiological system of the periphery of human ears and stimulating auditory nerves by using a limited number of electrodes to restore hearing of a totally deaf person, and is an electronic device for restoring or obtaining hearing of a severely, extremely severely or totally deaf adult or child.
The sound processor applies complex algorithmic processing to the sound information, known as speech processing strategies. Although the algorithm is universal, due to individual differences of patients, the speech processing strategy algorithm relies on a complex set of parameters that need to be carefully adjusted to achieve optimal listening for the patients when facing different patients. The process of adjusting parameters is typically performed by a medical professional (called a dispatcher) using specialized dispatching tools, and is called dispatching.
When the machine is tuned, a tuning operator directly operates tuning tool software and can send instructions to the sound processor, and the sending path is a tuning special data line; meanwhile, the tool software of the tone machine can also acquire various data from the sound processor. Therefore, the dispatching is a bidirectional communication behavior which occurs between the upper computer and the lower computer, and the premise of the communication is that a physical connection is established between the upper computer and the lower computer by utilizing a special data line for dispatching.
The operator operates the tool software (upper computer) on the computer, issues instructions to the sound processor (lower computer), can adjust various algorithm parameters of the sound processor, and observe the actual hearing feeling of the patient in real time to judge whether the algorithm effect is good or bad, so it is very important that the operator knows the actual hearing feeling of the patient. However, due to hearing impairment, the operator and the patient cannot always communicate smoothly, and if necessary, the operator has to be assisted with text information, or the patient can choose different mark cards to judge whether the actual effect is good or bad.
After the artificial cochlea is implanted, the patient must go to the special hospital at a specific time, and a special tuning tool is operated by a special tuning operator to tune the hearing effect for the patient.
The existing machine adjustment method is very high in cost for patients: usually, a patient with severe hearing impairment cannot independently complete the complete process of reservation, treatment and machine adjustment, and the patient needs the accompanying assistance of family members; it is more cumbersome if the patient and the hospital are not in the same city. In summary, tuning is a costly, time-consuming, and energy-intensive process for the patient.
For hospitals, the existing machine adjustment method is low in efficiency, and the actual effect of using cochlea by patients is not objective and accurate enough. The existing dispatching process must be implemented by a professional dispatching engineer, and only special places are required to be equipped in specific medical institutions (such as hospitals), so that the dispatching environment, dispatching equipment and dispatching personnel have high requirements, and the patients are limited more. In the process of implementing the call, a call taker needs to make a large amount of communication with a patient with hearing impairment, and because the patient cannot hear the voice in the call taker mode, the communication cannot be carried out through sound, and the communication needs to be carried out by means of characters or cards, so that the efficiency is very low; at the same time, the communication has high requirements for patients, and requires a great deal of experience of a mechanic.
Chinese patent publication No. CN109966022a discloses a cochlear implant speech processing device, a mobile terminal, and a cochlear implant. The artificial cochlea speech processing device comprises: the sound collection module is used for enabling the pickup components of the mobile terminal to collect sound information; the sound processing module is used for carrying out noise reduction processing, speech strategy coding processing and/or generating parameter information for working with the artificial cochlea implant body on the sound information acquired by the sound acquisition module; and the information transmission module is used for enabling the communication component of the mobile terminal to send the information output by the sound processing module to the artificial cochlea transmitting module so as to enable the artificial cochlea transmitting module to send the information to the artificial cochlea implant.
The above application places the speech processing on the mobile terminal, and functionally replaces the existing cochlear implant speech processor completely, but the text of the speech processing still adopts a remote tuning mode to perform tuning.

Example 1
Referring to fig. 1, in order to solve the foregoing problems of the prior art, the present embodiment provides a cochlear implant self-tuning method, in which a patient wears a sound processor, and in listening mode, the cochlear implant self-tuning method is the same as that of normal cochlear implant products.
When the patient needs to tune, the sound processor is switched to a tuning mode, and Bluetooth of the sound processor is started. The patient opens the tuning App on the phone (or other tuning terminal), at which time the tuning App software will automatically enable the bluetooth function of the phone and search for connectable bluetooth devices, including sound processors. After the Bluetooth of the mobile phone searches the sound processor equipment, the switching-on App can prompt a patient whether to establish connection or not by using text information on the mobile phone; if the patient chooses to agree to connect, the calling App of the mobile phone is connected with the sound processor through bluetooth. This connection is different from the physical connection of the data line dedicated to the tuner, and is a wireless connection mode, but the function is exactly the same.
Once the mobile phone and the sound processor are successfully connected through Bluetooth, the mobile phone is equivalent to a computer, the machine-adjusting App is equivalent to an upper computer, the Bluetooth connecting channel is equivalent to a special data line for machine-adjusting, and the sound processor is still a lower computer. The patient can act as a dispatcher, and the debugging programming of the sound processor is completed step by step on the mobile phone according to the prompt of the dispatching App.
When the sound processor works in a listening mode, the sound processor is consistent with the traditional mode; the difference is in the tune mode; when the sound processor is switched to the tuning mode, compared with the traditional tuning mode, a tuning operator, a computer and a special data line are not provided, a tuning tool is not used, and a patient follows the prompt of a tuning App through a mobile phone to perform step-by-step operation, so that self tuning is realized. To reduce power consumption, the bluetooth module of the sound processor is turned off by default when in listening mode, and bluetooth function is enabled only when switching to tuning mode.
When the patient wears the sound processor of the embodiment and wants to tune, the patient dials the key 105 on the sound processor to switch to the tuning mode, and at this time, the Bluetooth of the sound processor is started; the patient then begins the conditioning according to the following steps with reference to fig. 1:
step 1, a patient searches by using Bluetooth of a mobile phone and is connected with a sound processor;
step 2, the patient opens a machine-adjusting App on the mobile phone;
step 3, operating in a dispatching App according to the prompt information;
step 4, the dispatching App sends dispatching instructions to the sound processor through Bluetooth;
step 5, the sound processor executes the machine-adjusting instruction and displays the result and the suggestion information on the mobile phone;
step 6, repeating the steps 3-5 until the real hearing effect of the patient is satisfied;
step 7, the patient exits the dispatching App on the mobile phone;
step 8, the patient dials the button 105 of the sound processor to switch to the listening mode.
When the instruction is impedance measurement, impedance measurement is performed and a measurement result is returned. Impedance measurement is a function of cochlear implant modulators. The method mainly tests the state of the implant in the human body, and can judge whether the contact of each electrode is normal or not by measuring the impedance of each electrode.
The sound processor executes a call instruction with a number of possible outcomes. Such as: execution state (executing, finished), execution result (passing, error), etc. These are displayed as execution result information to the patient in real time on the mobile phone App.
The main purpose of the advice information is to prompt the patient to better complete self-tuning. Such as: the patient is prompted as to what to do next, whether the operation just completed is acoustically comfortable or uncomfortable, whether the tone is high/low, and whether a certain cue sound can be heard.
In a traditional tuning mode, a tuning tool is operated by a tuning operator, and the tuning effect is obtained by observing the actual feedback of a patient, so that tuning parameters are determined, and the tuning operator is required to have abundant experience. Often, a dispatcher needs to ask the patient, and the patient is a hearing impaired person, and direct verbal communication is very difficult, and limited communication has to be achieved with the aid of a token or text message.
Specifically, the tuning parameters include the hearing threshold and pain threshold of each phoneme, and the hearing threshold is defined as: prompting the patient to gradually increase the parameter until the sound can be heard; the pain threshold is defined as: the patient is prompted to continue to turn up until he feels too loud and uncomfortable.
The dispatching method of the application has no participation of dispatching operators and is completed by the dispatching App on the operation mobile phone of the patient. The machine-adjusting App provides rich and friendly text prompts, and guides the operation of a patient step by step, so that the parameter adjustment of the sound processor algorithm is realized. The effect of tuning is real-time response and is directly fed back to the patient, and the patient is in-person to feel the listening after tuning, and the tuning effect is directly experienced. The accuracy of any diagnostic method is not comparable to the direct feeling of the patient, so the tuning method of the application is far superior to the traditional tuning in accuracy.
Example 2
Referring to fig. 2, on the basis of embodiment 1, this embodiment provides a cochlear implant self-regulator assistance system, which includes a sound processor 1, an implant 2, and a terminal 3, the terminal 3 being connected to a data line interface 102 of the sound processor 1 by a data line 304.
The sound processor 1 includes: a first memory 101 in which a plurality of parameters to be adjusted by the tuning machine are stored; a data line interface 102 for establishing a connection with a computer (i.e., terminal 3) via a data line 304; a radio frequency coil 103 for establishing a connection with the implant 2 in the human body. As shown in fig. 4, the sound processor 1 further includes a host 106, one end of the host 106 is connected to an ear hook 108, and the other end is connected to a battery 109; the head piece 107 is connected with the host 106 through a connecting wire 111, and the radio frequency coil 103 is arranged in the head piece 107; a microphone 110 for receiving external sounds and generating a stimulating current through the implant 2 to generate an acoustic signal when listening. The sound processor is worn by the patient, and the head piece is attached to the head at a position corresponding to the receiving coil on the implant. The sound processor collects the sound in the environment, converts the sound into a wireless signal instruction after being processed by a complex algorithm, and transmits the wireless signal instruction through a transmitting coil in the head piece.
There are two modes of operation of the sound processor: listening mode, tuning mode. When listening normally, the listening mode is used, and the tuning mode is only used when tuning is needed. When the sound processor works in a listening mode, the sound processor is combined with the implant body to achieve the expected purpose of the instrument; when in the machine-adjusting mode, the sound processor, the implant and the machine-adjusting tool are used in combination to realize the machine-adjusting function.
Referring to fig. 5, the implant 2 includes: a receiving coil 202 coupled to the radio frequency coil 103, establishing a connection with the external sound processor 1; a neural electrode 201 for generating a stimulus signal to generate hearing. The implant 2 is implanted in the patient's head by a specialist, with the array portion of electrodes inserted into the cochlea. The receiving coil of the implant senses wireless signals through the scalp, electric energy is obtained through wireless charging to enable the stimulator to work, meanwhile, a stimulator circuit analyzes instructions contained in the wireless signals and controls the electrode to release stimulating currents with different intensities to auditory nerve organs in a cochlea according to instruction requirements, and accordingly a patient can produce hearing.
The terminal 3 includes: a second memory 301, configured to temporarily store parameters set by a patient during machine adjustment; an interactive device 302 for displaying the parameters currently in the second memory 301 and for inputting new parameters for the patient. The interactive devices may include mice, keyboards, tablets, and other computer input devices.
The working principle of the system is as follows:
the radio frequency coil 103 is coupled to the receiving coil 202, establishing a connection. The terminal 3 is connected to the data line interface 102 of the sound processor 1 via a data line 304. And finishing the machine adjustment preparation. The terminal 3 synchronizes the parameters in the first memory 101 in the sound processor 1 to the local second memory 301 and displays them to the patient. After setting the new parameters, the patient plays some fixed sounds (such as speaking or a recording), the sound processor 1 generates signals corresponding to the fixed sounds and transmits the signals to the implant 2, and the implant 2 generates corresponding sound signals to complete feedback. When the patient determines the current parameters, the parameters in the second memory 301 override the parameters in the first memory 101, completing the tuning.
It should be noted that the present application has no improvement in the method, and the process of generating the acoustic signal according to the parameters and the data transmission process are all implemented by using the prior art.
Example 3
Referring to fig. 3, on the basis of embodiment 2, the present embodiment does not need to provide a data line 304 and a data line interface 102, but a first bluetooth chip 104 is provided in the sound processor 1, and a second bluetooth chip 105 is provided in the terminal 3, thereby establishing connection between the sound processor 1 and the terminal 3. The model of the first bluetooth chip 104 and the second bluetooth chip 303 in this embodiment is RSL100.
In addition, in this embodiment, a key 105 is further disposed on the host 106 of the sound processor 1, the key 105 is connected with the first bluetooth chip 104, and controls the power supply of the first bluetooth chip 104, and when in use, the bluetooth can be started by pressing the key.
The core of the embodiment is that a low-power consumption Bluetooth chip is integrated in a traditional sound processor product, so that the sound processor product has a Bluetooth connection function; developing a mobile phone version of a mobile phone calling App; the sound processor realizes wireless connection with the mobile phone by means of the Bluetooth module, and establishes data communication between the tuner App and the sound processor.
The terminal 3 in this embodiment adopts a smart phone, and the interaction device includes a touch screen.
Compared with the prior art, the application has the following advantages:
(1) Convenience of machine adjustment
The traditional dispatching machine must be carried out in a dispatching room of a hospital, registration needs to be reserved in advance, and the traditional dispatching machine is not different from the doctor seeing and the doctor in the hospital, but the patient faces not a doctor but a dispatching engineer. Hospitals capable of performing cochlear implant surgery are not popular and often focus on large cities; the patients with hearing impairment are scattered in various places of the country, and can independently complete the scheduling, appointment registration and machine-tuning test very difficultly, and generally, the patients need to be accompanied by families or relatives, and the machine-tuning activities can be completed smoothly only in a few days.
The machine-adjusting auxiliary equipment does not need a hospital or an operator, and only needs one terminal; without the requirement of a field, the device can be placed in a relatively quiet position; is not limited by time; and the patient can adjust the machine by himself only by learning. The application greatly improves the convenience of machine adjustment and has obvious superiority.
(2) The economical efficiency of the machine is better than that of the traditional mode
The traditional machine adjustment mode has the defects of more intermediate links and low cost. If the patient and hospital are not in the same city, plus a travel schedule with accompanying relatives, the cost is higher. Even the most common conditioning activities require about half an hour to complete, but patients take hundreds of yuan; if added to the cost of travel and accommodation, thousands of yuan are typically required.
The machine adjusting method saves a great deal of cost and can save money and time for patients.
(3) The accuracy of the machine adjustment is far better than that of the traditional mode
In a traditional tuning mode, a tuning tool is operated by a tuning operator, and the tuning effect is obtained by observing the actual feedback of a patient, so that tuning parameters are determined, and the tuning operator is required to have abundant experience. Often, a dispatcher needs to ask the patient, and the patient is a hearing impaired person, and direct verbal communication is very difficult, and limited communication has to be achieved with the aid of a token or text message.
The dispatching system of the application is completed by the patient without the participation of dispatching operators. The result of the tuning is responded in real time and is directly fed back to the patient, and the patient is in-person to feel the hearing sound after tuning, so that the tuning effect is directly experienced. The accuracy of any diagnostic method is not comparable to the direct feeling of the patient, so the tuning method of the application is far superior to the traditional tuning in accuracy.
While the application has been described with reference to certain preferred embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes and substitutions of equivalents may be made and equivalents will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the application. Therefore, the protection scope of the application is subject to the protection scope of the claims.
