Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method according to the Preamble of claim 1.
  • Hearing aids must meet the specific requirements, i.e. the any hearing loss of a patient adjusted become. There is usually an audiogram of the To record the injured party, based on this, first Hearing aid that is as optimal as possible, that of the present Hearing damage is best taken into account is selected. Of the others must be selected for the hearing aid once selected adjustable parameters based on the audiogram if possible can be optimally adjusted.
  • the known method has the disadvantage that it is confusing for binaural fitting of hearing aids and is therefore completely unsuitable.
  • the binaural Adaptation is namely two hearing aid parts, one of which intended for the left ear and one for the right ear is to coordinate exactly. It has to be influenced of parameter changes in a hearing aid part on the other hearing aid part are taken into account.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object based on specifying a method that leads to the optimal Adaptation of binaural hearing aids is suitable.
  • the invention has the following advantages: By the Parameters that determine the transmission characteristics of the Determine hearing aid parts, both for each of the two sides set independently of the other as well as simultaneously can be an extremely precise and clear Setting enables. In particular the latter Setting option allows one against the known methods faster and more efficient hiring of the hearing aid parts.
  • FIG. 1 shows a data processing system 1 to which one Display unit 2, a pointing device 3 and a hearing aid, consisting of the hearing aid parts 4 and 5, connectable are.
  • a pointing device 3 With the dashed line between the two hearing aid parts 4 and 5 is only one Embodiment of hearing aids existing connection 6 indicated.
  • the inventive method can be successfully used regardless of the hearing aid type can.
  • the binaural fitting of the hearing aids plays this connection 6 thus has a subordinate role.
  • the hearing aid 4, 5 is only for the adaptation of the changeable parameters with the data processing system 1 connected. Once the relevant parameters are determined, what is done in a manner yet to be explained will be the Transfer parameters to hearing aid 4, 5. Then on the hearing aid 4, 5 can transmit this from the Data processing system 1 decoupled and from this operated independently.
  • Fig. 2 shows one by means of the display unit 2 (Fig. 1) shown excerpt, on the one hand in the respectively valid Transfer characteristics as graphics in Graphic windows 7 to 10 and, on the other hand, sliding plate 11 to 16 (English scroll bars) and adjusting buttons 17 are shown, the individual parameters of the Transmission characteristics via the slide actuator 11 to 16 or 17 knobs can be changed.
  • the graphic windows 7 to 10 the respectively valid Transfer characteristics also the desired ones for optimal transmission characteristics to a patient overlay. So that the operator can easily a visual inspection of due to parameter changes achieve achieved results.
  • Fig. 2 two options are shown, the one simple and extremely user-friendly customization of Parameters allowed. So in the top half of FIG. 2 given the option of reinforcements for the left and the right side of the hearing aid 4, 5 individually over the Adjust sliding plates 11 and 12.
  • a by the pointing device 3 (Fig. 1) controlled and on the Display unit 2 generated cursor on a bar whose current position in relation to the two end stops, which is the maximum or minimum value of the respective Represent parameters, a current value of the respective Corresponds to parameters.
  • Another way of using the value of a parameter Help of the pointing device 3 via the slide actuator 11 change is that the cursor of the pointing device 3 on a button 19 or 20, which are related to the respective ends of the slide actuator 11 are guided and that by pressing on the pointing device 3 existing push button the value of the respective parameter is gradually increased or decreased.
  • Yet another way to get the value of a parameter with the help of the pointing device 3 via the slide actuator 11 change is that the cursor of the pointing device 3 to an area between the bar 18 and the Button 19 - for a gradual increase in the respective parameter values - or button 20 - for a step-by-step reduction of the parameter value and that by pressing on the pointing device 3 existing push button the value of the respective parameter is gradually increased or decreased.
  • Adjust parameters of both hearing aid parts 4, 5 simultaneously are simultaneously via a Setting option adjustable.
  • Adjustment knob 17 provided with two buttons. By Press these buttons in the above
  • the respective parameters, here the gain become wise “binaural gain”, both hearing aid parts 4 and 5 simultaneously and changed in the same steps.
  • Gain With change of Gain "binaural gain” both the bars in the Sliding plates 11 and 12 as well as the graphics 7 and 8, which represent the transmission characteristic, changed accordingly.
  • Fig. 2 In the lower half of Fig. 2 is another Possibility shown as the inventive Parameter change can be accomplished. Are there several at different frequency ranges acting parameter values changeable. It affects this the slide actuators 13, 14 and 15, which correspond to the lower, middle and upper frequency range of the Influence the listening area. Furthermore is a Sliding plate 16 is provided over which the maximum Output level can be limited.
  • buttons in this embodiment directly to the Subsequent range of movement of the divided beams, intended. These buttons are used in this Embodiment, however, only for simultaneous change of parameters.
  • the relative position of each the slide actuator 13 to 16 belonging to each other therefore remains when these buttons are pressed unchanged.
  • the relative location of the Beam parts unchanged from each other, even then, when the minimum or maximum value is reached.
  • Furthermore can change the parameter values in the same way as already described can be changed using the pointing device 3.
  • FIG. 3 is one of the slide actuators 13 to 16 according to Fig. 2 is shown enlarged and consists of the two-part bars BL, BR and the buttons G and K for simultaneous change of parameters for both Hearing aid parts 4 and 5. Furthermore, are at the lower end of the slider in numerical fields MW the absolute Numerical values of the currently set parameters are displayed. However, it is also conceivable and also in some applications preferred, relative to absolute numerical values Specify values that refer to a reference size where these are derived, for example, from the desired transmission characteristics can result.
