Definitions

  • the invention relates to a remotely controllable, in particular by remote control to different transmission properties programmable hearing aid system according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a hearing aid system is known for example from DE-A 39 00 588.7.
  • the determination of the hearing curve is normally carried out e.g. performed by a hearing aid acoustician with the help of an audiometer, the patient using headphones to transmit sequences of discrete sound signals with an ascending and descending sequence, each with a continuously increasing amplitude, the patient signaling the hearing aid acoustician when the respective hearing threshold is reached, for example by actuating an Tasters.
  • the main cause of the uncertainty and inaccuracy of the result is, on the one hand, that when the audiogram or the hearing curve is determined, the headphones are normally never very tight, while when using a hearing aid, the sound is passed to the ear through a narrow tube and the auditory canal to the outside sealing ear olive or via a corresponding earmold or a corresponding otoplastic, which seals the ear canal from the outside world. This means that the sound is emitted through a thin tube into an often closed chamber (a residual volume) in front of the eardrum.
  • the acoustic properties of this type of sound transmission to the eardrum are so different from those with an open ear canal when using headphones that an uncertainty of up to 20 dB can be expected at higher frequencies. This uncertainty results from the calculation of the desired amplification values of the hearing aid, which is normally carried out, if one starts from the values of the audiogram determined with headphones.
  • the object on which the invention is based is to create a hearing aid system of the type mentioned at the outset, with which either the hearing aid acoustician or the wearer of the hearing aid himself can determine a hearing curve which corresponds much better to the actual conditions and, at the same time, can adjust his hearing aid thereon, since during the determination the threshold values are the actual conditions when wearing the hearing aid.
  • a remotely controllable hearing aid system is shown purely schematically and without any scale relationships.
  • This system exists initially from an external control unit 1, as is already known from the prior art.
  • This external control device 1 contains a keyboard 2, which can contain several rows of keys, push buttons or the like, and a display device 3, which can be, for example, a liquid crystal display.
  • the keyboard 2 and the display device 3 are connected to a data processing device 4, which, purely schematically, has at least one microprocessor designated uP, a memory 5 for audiometric data, a control parameter memory 6 and a memory 7 for storing data or parameters which characterize some environmental situations contains.
  • the external control device 1 also contains a transmitter 8, which is designed, for example, for transmitting high-frequency signals, and which is connected to an antenna, indicated purely schematically.
  • the hearing aid 9 which is also indicated purely schematically, has a receiver 10 which serves to receive the signals emitted or transmitted by the transmitter 8 and which effects suitable signal processing which serves to control the transmission characteristics of the actual hearing aid.
  • the essentially new part of the hearing aid system constructed according to the invention consists in that a signal generator 11 is provided in the external control device, which is also connected to the data processing device 4 and in particular to its memory 5 for audiometric data.
  • This signal generator 11 is able, controlled by the keyboard, in connection with the data processing device and in connection with corresponding programs / algorithms, to generate signals of all kinds, preferably sound signals, noise signals, signal mixtures of all kinds, individually, in any order, in any mix, with selectable and controllable intensity.
  • 2 different keys are provided in the keyboard with which the amplitude, i.e. the volume of the signals generated by the signal generator 11 can be changed continuously. This can be monitored on the display device 3.
  • the external control device 1 also has a detachable connection to the hearing device 9.
  • the signal generator 11 is provided with an output socket 12 attached to the housing of the external control device 1 for a plug connection, into which a flexible connecting line 13 can be inserted, which has a plug at its other end, which plugs into a corresponding socket 14 of the hearing device 9 can be used.
  • Such sockets are also called audio shoes.
  • the hearing aid 9 also has a microphone 15, a preamplifier 16 and a preferably digitally controllable filter circuit 17, which may also preferably consist of a number of such filters, be it in a single-channel version or in a multi-channel version, which can be controlled by a control unit 18 , which is connected on the input side to the output of the receiver 10.
  • An output amplifier 19 is provided at the output of the filter circuit 17 and its volume can also be controlled by the control unit 18, preferably digitally.
  • An output transducer 20 is connected to the output amplifier 19, which is preferably, but not necessarily, an electroacoustic transducer.
  • the wearer of a hearing aid to be worn either behind the ear or via an earmold connected to the ear canal or a concha device or a device that can be inserted directly into the ear canal, or a hearing care professional can use the keyboard with the help of the data Processing device 4 control the signal generator 11 for emitting acoustic signals, ie signals that can be made audible via an electroacoustic transducer.
  • the output of the signals by the signal generator 11 can be monitored on the display device 3, in particular the respective frequency or the respective signal or frequency mixture and its increasing or decreasing volume. Signals other than sinusoidal signals could be represented on the display device, for example, by symbols to be chosen arbitrarily.
  • the signal generator 11 By actuating corresponding keys on the keyboard 2, the signal generator 11 is caused to have a sequence of e.g. generates sinusoidal signals in the hearing frequency range.
  • the sound signals generated in this way reach the hearing aid simultaneously via the plug-cable connection 12, 13, 14.
  • a switch is indicated purely schematically, with which a switchover from the audio input to the preamplifier 16 is possible while the microphone 15 is shut down.
  • the cable connection 12, 13, 14 is intended to ensure that the microphone is not effective when sound signals occur on this cable connection.
  • the amplitude of each of the signals initially increases with increasing frequency Volume changes until the wearer of the hearing aid perceives the signal or no longer perceives it when the volume decreases again and thus either by himself or by the hearing care professional using the keyboard 2 causes this signal amplitude in digital form, ie for example in the form of numerical values in the memory 5 for audiometric Data is saved.
  • the signal generator can also be used to generate other signals, but in particular of signal mixtures, for example to simulate sequences of sound signals disturbed over the entire area or only over partial areas. In this way, adjustments can also be made to disturbed conditions.
  • the hearing curve thus determined and coded can then be called up via the keyboard 2, whereupon the corresponding control parameters for the hearing aid can be calculated from this hearing curve by means of predetermined mathematical operations, which are then stored in the control parameter memory 6.
  • these control parameters can then be transmitted via the keyboard 8 to the hearing aid 9 by means of the transmitter 8, the receiver 10 of which, together with the control unit 18, then controls the transmission characteristic of the hearing aid between the microphone 15 and the output converter 20.
  • this external control device 1 can also contain a memory 7 for data or characteristic values of different environmental situations. This enables control of the hearing aid 9 Using the keyboard 2 in such a way that corresponding control parameters for controlling the hearing aid 9 can be derived from the control parameters contained in the control parameter memory 6 and derived from the audiogram and from the data or data groups contained in the memory 7 for environmental situations.
  • control parameters for this transmission characteristic are determined from the audiometric data in the memory 5 with the aid of predetermined mathematical operations and stored in the control parameter memory 6, and are transmitted from there via the transmitter 8 to the hearing aid 9.
  • the hearing aid is to be set to a transmission characteristic for one of the environmental situations, then the audiometric data from the audiogram memory 5 and the corresponding values for the environmental situation are modified by means of predetermined mathematical operations to new control parameters, which are stored in the control parameter memory 6 and sent to the transmitter 8 Hearing aid 9 are transmitted.
  • serial interface 21 which can be connected to an external computer via a plug 22 and which is internally connected to the data processing device.
  • This serial interface 21 can be used, for example, for storing measured data / parameters in the database of a computer.
  • this interface can also be used for storing parameters characterizing various environmental situations in the memory 7.
  • the entire range of functions of this external one can be accessed via this interface Control the remote control device so that all processes and operations can be controlled via the keyboard of a computer connected to the interface 21.
  • This type of control has the advantage that the audiogram itself is retained in digital form in the memory 5 and can be queried again at any time via the keyboard 2, for example read out via the serial interface 21 and sent to one.
  • external data processing system can be delivered. can.
  • the external control device shown in FIG. 2 additionally has a further plug 23 which is connected to a measuring amplifier 24, the output of which is connected to the data processing device 4 via an analog-digital converter 25.
  • the plug 23 is used to connect a cable (not shown) that leads to a small test microphone that is inserted into the residual volume between the earmold or earmold and the eardrum and is used to measure the sound pressure generated in this residual volume.
  • the invention thus created an external control device for a remotely controllable hearing aid system, which can be remotely programmed for its transmission properties, with which the hearing aid system can be determined not only from various aspects, but also, if necessary, at a later point in time when the hearing aid changes Hearing situation of the wearer the device can be adapted accordingly.
