Definitions
- the present invention relates to a hearing aid with a microphone, an amplifier, a handset and a data memory.
- Known hearing aids of the type mentioned above are adapted with their transmission properties individually to the respective residual hearing of a user of the hearing aid. This requires a large variety of types of Höziern. Even hearing aids with structurally identical housing can differ considerably from one another in their electrical design (electrical data) due to different performance data of these built-in components of the hearing aid due to different built-in components such as microphone, earpiece and / or electrical amplifier circuit. A representation of detailed distinguishing features (transmission characteristics) of the respective hearing aid type on the housing of the hearing aid for precise identification of the hearing aid is not possible for lack of sufficient space on the respective hearing aid, in particular on an in-the-ear hearing aid.
- the invention has for its object to facilitate the detection of detailed hearing aid features in hearing aids of the type mentioned. Furthermore, the number of detectable on the hearing aid hearing aid features can be increased without much larger footprint.
- At least one data memory is used as part of an identification device for a hearing device and for storing at least one feature of the hearing device.
- the data memory may be formed by an electrically conductive connection to at least one component of the identification device as part of the identification device.
- This identification device has at least one output device in the hearing device, via which hearing device features stored in the data memory can be output to the exact identification of the hearing device.
- Such features which uniquely identify the hearing aid and / or its characteristics, can be provided in large numbers in the form of e.g. electronic data can be entered into the data memory. This large number of stored features can be retrieved from the data memory of the hearing aid without the need to keep up-to-date lists of data to help.
- a display device for the visual display (optical output) of the hearing device data can be realized as a means of output at a hearing aid which provides sufficient space, in particular at a BTE hearing device.
- the display device can be used as a small display, e.g. LCD display (liquid crystal display), be formed.
- the representation can be done in chronological successive characters.
- the characters can also be output as consecutive words and / or numbers.
- the output means may also be designed as an interface to an external data display device (display device), which may be e.g. Also connected via a cable with an interface designed as a plug contact.
- Each display device forms part of the identification device.
- the data for characteristic features of the hearing aid can also be output in a different manner, in particular wirelessly, via the output means.
- the output can be made inductively via the regular telephone coil of the hearing aid.
- the stored data can be output as sound signals via the handset of the hearing aid.
- the hearing device can be coupled to an external component of the identification device with an induction or an acoustic coupler for the wireless forwarding of the output data. With sufficient capacity of the data memory of the identification device, it is also possible to output the sound signal for the data output as a human-intelligible speech signal.
- the data output via the output means to features of the hearing aid can be triggered by a control signal.
- This control signal can be triggered by pressing a switching means on the hearing aid.
- the switching means can be realized on the hearing aid by two simultaneously contactable conductor ends. These conductor ends can be bridged with the electrically conductive blade of a screwdriver for contacting. The bridgeable conductor ends can be concealed in the battery compartment of the hearing aid.
- the control signal can also be triggered in conjunction with a wireless remote control via infrared, radio frequency or ultrasound.
- FIG. 1 shows a programmable, remotely controllable hearing aid 1 with a separate remote control transmitter 2.
- the hearing aid 1 comprises a microphone 3, a low-pass filter 4 for hearing-aid signals, a preamplifier 5, a programmable electronic resistor 6, a power amplifier 7 and a receiver 8.
- the hearing aid 1 further comprises a remote control part consisting of a limiter stage 9, e.g. as Schmitt trigger with an upstream high-pass filter (not shown) may be formed and an evaluation circuit 10 and a data decoder 11th
- the remote control transmitter 2 outputs, via an output transducer 12, sound signals triggered and coded by means of a key control 13, e.g. Ultrasonic remote control signals, from which are received by the microphone 3 of the hearing aid, decoded in the data decoder 11 and assigned to a remotely controllable or programmable component.
- a key control 13 e.g. Ultrasonic remote control signals
- the hearing aid according to FIG. 1 corresponds in principle to a hearing device known from EP-A-0 175 909 and described in detail.
- the hearing aid 1 has a data memory 14 which forms part of an identification device.
- the data memory 14 features of the hearing aid are entered in storable form as digital data.
- the input can already be made during the production of the hearing aid or at another time.
- the stored data may include, for example, the name of the manufacturer, the type designation, device version, equipment series and / or technical data, such as gain, frequency response, limit threshold and / or output level, etc., ie data that were previously removed especially from separate data lists.
- the stored data can be output via an output device assigned to the hearing device 1.
- the already existing handset 8 of the hearing aid 1 is advantageously used in this particular embodiment. This eliminates both a separate output means and the space required for it.
- the handset 8 and the memory 14 are thus used as an internal component 27 of the identification device.
- the external component 15 of the identification device wirelessly receives the features of the hearing aid 1 emitted by the receiver 8 as coded sound signals, symbolized by the arrow 17, via a microphone 16 acting as an acoustic coupler. which are stored in the memory 14 as digital data.
- the digitally stored data of the memory 14 are supplied as a serial data stream via a line 18 to a modulator 19.
- the modulator 19, which may be formed as part of an integrated circuit, for example, includes a low frequency generator (not shown), which is modulated in a conventional manner with the serial data stream from the memory 14.
- a modulation method u.a. Pulse duration modulation and frequency shift keying (FSK modulation).
- the modulated LF signal (audio frequency signal) is fed to a summing circuit 20 present in the actual hearing aid amplifier part 5 to 7, amplified in the power amplifier 7 and finally emitted via the receiver 8 as a coded sound signal (arrow 17).
- the coded sound signal is then picked up by the microphone 16 and fed via a line 21 as a modulated audio signal to a demodulator 22. After demodulation, a data stream corresponding to the data stream of the line 18 in the hearing aid 1 is produced. This data stream is supplied via a line 23 to an evaluation and display device 24 for displaying the stored features of the hearing aid 1.
- the external component 15 of the identification device in particular the evaluation and display device 24, may be formed, for example, as part of a digital programming device for hearing aids.
- a coded control signal is generated in the remote control transmitter 2 by pressing an associated key of the key control 13. With this control signal, the output of hearing device features from the data memory 14 is triggered.
- the control signal is preferably output by the output sound transducer 12 as an ultrasonic signal, which is symbolized by the arrow 26.
- the coded control signal is fed via an input means of the hearing aid 1, in the special embodiment via the microphone 3, the remote control part 9 to 11 in a conventional manner (EP-A-0 175 909) and decoded in the decoder 11.
- the control signal may be transmitted via the e.g. multipolar trained data line 25 are supplied to the data memory 14.
- the data memory 14 then outputs stored features as a serial data stream over the line 18.
- the control signal can be coded differently.
- a first encoding may be used to trigger the output of a single feature.
- a second encoding may be used to trigger the output of a group of features and another to trigger the output of all features. This makes it possible to use only certain features, e.g. Characteristics of transmission characteristics of the hearing aid to spend, which is particularly advantageous for quick yet detailed identification.
- FIG. 2 An illustrated in Figure 2 advantageous variant of a hearing aid 28 according to the invention differs from the hearing aid 1 by an identification device 29 which is completely associated with the hearing aid 28.
- the identification device 29 has the data memory 14 described with reference to FIG. 1, which is connected via an auxiliary memory 30 to a display device 31.
- the auxiliary memory 30 serves to process the data output from the data memory 14 into a form which can be visually displayed by the display device 31.
- the two memories 14 and 30 may be part of an integrated circuit.
- the display device 31 can be used as a very small display, e.g. be designed as an LCD display 32, as shown in Figure 3 on a BTE hearing aid housing 33.
- a randomly selected type designation is shown by way of example as a feature which can be output via the output means (here LCD display 32) and stored in the data memory 14 of the hearing device 28.
- the LCD display 32 is arranged between a dial 34 and a switch 35.
- Other arrangements of the display e.g. hidden under a flap of the housing 33 are also possible.
- the LCD display instead of previously labeled areas / spaces can be arranged.
- Foglich also eliminates the required for a lettering large production costs (plunger, tools, etc.), especially with respect to a multi-lingual labeling, the lack of space depending on the respectively supplied language space (country) had to be performed differently on the hearing aid.
- the output by means of a display can be configured switchable to different languages without great manufacturing effort or space requirement.
- the hearing device according to the invention according to FIG. 1 can be designed, in particular for the use of input and output means already present on the hearing device, for the identification of the hearing device according to the invention so that conventional hearing aids, e.g. to an ITE hearing aid housing 36 according to Figure 4, externally no difference is detected.
- conventional hearing aids e.g. to an ITE hearing aid housing 36 according to Figure 4
- an identification pointing to the identification of the hearing aid according to the invention as in FIG Figure 4 is shown by an inscription 37.
- This can e.g. be achieved by the inscription "Electronic Identification System”.
