Die vorliegende Erfindung wird nun anhand der beigefügten Zeichnung näher erläutert, die ein Flußdiagramm zu dem erfindungsgemäßen individuell adaptiven Hörtraining wiedergibt.The present invention will now be explained in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawing, which shows a flow chart for the individually adaptive auditory training according to the invention.

Das nachfolgende Ausführungsbeispiel stellt eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung dar.The following embodiment represents a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

In der linken Hälfte der Darstellung findet sich eine Wiedergabe der offline-Herstellung der verschiedenen Hörtrainings auf Grund bestimmter Benutzerprofile. In der rechten Seite der Darstellung ist die online-Anwendung der Hörtrainings wiedergegeben.In the left half of the illustration, there is a reproduction of the offline production of the various audio training sessions due to certain user profiles. In the right side of the illustration the online application of the listening exercises is shown.

In einer Datenbank 1 sind die einzelnen Hörtrainings offline abgespeichert. Hierzu wird zunächst eine representative Auswahl von Benutzerprofilen generiert 2. Anschließend wird für jedes Profil ein Hörtraining erstellt 3. Somit werden für die Profile 1 bis n die Hörtrainings 41 bis 4n erzeugt. Das Hörtraining 41 für Profil 1 enthält Übungen zur Sprachverständlichkeit und Hörtaktik sowie technische Ratschläge. Das Hörtraining 4n für Profil n enthält beispielsweise weiterführende Hörübungen.In a database 1, the individual listening training are stored offline. For this purpose, a representative selection of user profiles is first generated. 2. Subsequently, a hearing training is created for each profile 3. Thus, for the profiles 1 to n, the hearing training courses 41 to 4n are generated. The auditory training 41 for profile 1 includes exercises for speech intelligibility and hearing tactics as well as technical advice. The hearing training 4n for profile n contains, for example, further listening exercises.

Der Benutzer beziehungsweise Hörgeräteträger kann die in der Datenbank 1 gespeicherten Hörtrainings nun individuell online benutzen. Hierzu loggt er sich 5 mit seinem Password zur Authentifikation in die im Internet 6 zur Verfügung gestellte Schulungssoftware ein. In einem kurzen Interview 7 werden die Daten des Benutzers aufgenommen und daraus ein individuelles Benutzerprofil erstellt. Dabei wird der Benutzer beispielsweise gefragt, in welchen Situationen Hörschwierigkeiten auftreten. Anschließend erfolgt die Zuordnung 8 des individuellen Benutzerprofils zu einem der vorgebenen in dem Speichermedium 2 vorab gespeicherten Benutzerprofile. Auf Grund dieser Zuordnung 8 erfolgt nun die individuelle Schulung 9 durch das entsprechende über das Internet in der Datenbank 1 heruntergeladene Hörtraining. Am Ende der Schulung 9, bevor sich der Benutzer aus der Schulungssoftware ausloggt 10, wird das Benutzerprofil aktualisiert.The user or hearing aid wearer can now use the hearing training programs stored in the database 1 individually online. For this he logs 5 with his password for authentication in the provided on the Internet 6 training software. In a short interview 7, the user's data is recorded and used to create an individual user profile. The user is asked, for example, in which situations hearing difficulties occur. Subsequently, the assignment 8 of the individual user profile takes place to one of the predetermined user profiles stored in advance in the storage medium 2. Based on this assignment 8, the individual training 9 is now carried out by means of the corresponding hearing training downloaded via the Internet in the database 1. At the end of the training 9, before the user logs out of the training software 10, the user profile is updated.

Das Aktualisieren beziehungsweise Adaptieren des Benutzerprofils erfolgt, indem beispielsweise der Schulungsverlauf in einer Datenbank 11 in dem Server, der auch die Datenbank 1 für die Hörtrainings bereitstellt, dokumentiert wird. Darüber hinaus werden in dieser Datenbank 11 weitere individuelle Daten wie das Alter, das individuelle Audiogramm, das eingesetzte Hörgerät und dergleichen gespeichert. Somit wird die Schulung nicht nur individuell, sondern auch an die Umgebungsbedingungen angepasst, adaptiv durchgeführt.The updating or adaptation of the user profile takes place, for example, by documenting the training course in a database 11 in the server, which also provides the database 1 for the hearing training. In addition, 11 additional individual data such as age, the individual audiogram, the hearing aid used and the like are stored in this database. Thus, the training is adapted not only individually, but also adapted to the environmental conditions, adaptively.

Die Datenbank 11 zur Speicherung der individuellen Daten kann auch direkt beim Benutzer angelegt sein. In diesem Fall sind die individuellen Daten vor jeder Schulung über das Internet an den Server mit der Datenbank 1 zu übermitteln, damit dieser das entsprechende Hörtraining zur Verfügung stellt.The database 11 for storing the individual data can also be created directly at the user. In this case, the individual data must be transmitted via the Internet to the server with the database 1 before each training, so that this provides the appropriate auditory training.
