Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for operating a hearing aid system and a hearing aid system with at least two hearing aid devices, between which a signal path is provided, and with at least one signal processing unit that can be adapted to different horse situations.
- a hearing aid device is known from US Pat. No. 5,604,812, which has a signal analysis unit for automatically switching between different hearing programs, which detects the current hearing situation and selects a suitable hearing program.
- the disadvantage here is that the automatic detection of the hearing situation with two hearing aids of a hearing aid system can lead to different results and thus to the operation of the hearing aids in different hearing programs.
- a method for operating binaural hearing aids is known from WO 00/00001, each of which can be switched over in situ in at least two transmission modes from microphone to output transducer arrangement (hearing programs).
- the respective active hearing programs of the hearing aids are synchronized manually or automatically via a wireless connection between the hearing aids to predetermined or predefinable program pairs.
- a disadvantage of the known method is that the current hearing situation is often not correctly recognized and one of the hearing aids or both hearing aids are operated in the wrong hearing program.
- a hearing aid system with at least two hearing aids for binaural supply to a hearing aid wearer in which a transmission of acoustic signals is provided between the two hearing aids.
- a disadvantage of the known hearing aid system is the high amount of data that is transmitted between the two hearing aids.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a method for operating a hearing aid system and a hearing aid system by means of which the automatic adaptation of hearing aid devices to different hearing situations is improved.
- properties of the sound field are characteristic under "sound field characteristics" Sizes understood. These variables can relate to signal levels, frequency spectra, modulation frequencies, modulation depths, noise components, spatial parameters, etc. of acoustic signals in the sound field.
- the current hearing situation as such, in which the hearing device is currently being operated, is not to be understood as a sound field characteristic in the sense of the invention.
- a hearing aid according to the invention can be a hearing aid (BTE) that can be worn behind the ear, a hearing aid that can be worn in the ear (ITE), a hearing aid that can be completely or partially implanted, a hearing aid that can be worn on the body, and a pocket device, one in the nearer Act "external processor unit” etc. located in the vicinity of a hearing aid and interacting with it.
- BTE hearing aid
- ITE hearing aid that can be worn in the ear
- a hearing aid that can be completely or partially implanted a hearing aid that can be worn on the body
- a pocket device one in the nearer Act "external processor unit” etc. located in the vicinity of a hearing aid and interacting with it.
- the hearing aid system comprises at least two hearing aid devices, between which a signal path is provided for data transmission, and at least one signal processing unit which can be adapted to different hearing situations.
- a system can be composed, for example, of a hearing device that can be worn behind the ear with a microphone for recording signals, a signal processing unit and a receiver for supplying an ear to a hearing impaired person and an additional device worn on the body, an “external processor unit”, with a microphone for recording signals.
- such a system becomes two hearing aids that can be worn on the head, each with a microphone for recording signals, a signal analysis unit for generating sound field characteristics, a signal processing unit for processing the input signal to adapt to the hearing loss of the hearing aid wearer, and a control and evaluation unit for determination of parameters of the signal processing unit on the basis of the sound field characteristics and have a receiver for signal output.
- the hearing aids are used Evaluation of the microphone signals sound field characteristics generated and combined in at least one of the hearing aids. This contains all the data available in the system for evaluating the sound field, so that an optimized adaptation of the signal processing unit to the sound field is made possible. In contrast to the prior art, it is not necessary to transmit audio signals or processed audio signals for this, which would mean a considerably higher data volume and, in particular in the case of a wireless connection between the hearing aids, is almost impossible due to the associated energy requirement and the limited capacity of conventional hearing aid voltage sources would.
- the data combined in a hearing aid device can advantageously also be used for feedback recognition. Detected feedback can then be eliminated by appropriately adapting the signal processing of the hearing aid concerned.
- the hearing aid system according to the invention comprises two hearing aids for binaural care
- sound field characteristic values are preferably generated in both hearing aids and transmitted to the respective other hearing aid.
- the same, optimized database for evaluating the sound field is then available in both hearing aids, so that their signal processing units can be adapted to the sound field and operated in the same hearing program.
- Hearing aids control and evaluation unit based on the binaural information available in each case the setting of parameters of the signal processing unit to adapt to the hearing situation. Furthermore, the merging of sound field parameters enables additional information about the sound field geometry to be obtained. However, it is also possible that the sound field characteristic values are combined in only one of the hearing aids to determine the hearing situation and from this a signal for identifying the hearing situation is retransmitted to other hearing aids of the hearing aid system. So could to a hearing aid system with two head portable hearing aid and an external processor unit, which are at least includes a microphone, is generated in the hearing aid sound field characteristics, and transmitted to the external processor unit, which generates similar to the hearing aids themselves sound field characteristics •.
- the external processor unit is located in the immediate vicinity of the hearing aids, this contains additional information about the sound field.
- the information from the external processor unit can be used for a decision in the event of a need for coordination between the results obtained in the hearing aids, or the external processor unit, as a “master”, manually or automatically triggers the valid sound field characteristics for the system or the hearing program ,
- the external processor unit is designed as a remote control for the hearing aid system. So in addition to the above Functions also functions for convenient operation of the hearing aid system combined in a single device.
- the sound field characteristic values which are transmitted between at least two hearing aid devices of a hearing device system according to the invention and on the basis of which the determination of parameters of at least one signal processing unit of the hearing device system are made include, in particular, characteristic values relating to:
- the spatial characteristics of the sound field can in turn be divided into coherence, directions of incidence of interference signals, direction of incidence of the useful signal, etc.
- a variant of the invention provides to generate sound field characteristic values at periodic intervals and to transmit them between hearing aid devices of the hearing aid system in question. This makes it possible for hearing aids of the hearing aid system to work in different hearing programs at most for a short time.
- Another variant provides that when a hearing aid device of a hearing aid system according to the invention registers a relevant change in sound field characteristic values, the hearing aid devices of the hearing aid system are compared.
- the hearing aid devices of the hearing device system are adapted by manually actuating an operating element of the hearing device system by the hearing device wearer.
- the control element provided for this purpose can also be arranged on a remote control.
- FIG. 1 shows a hearing aid system with two hearing aids that can be worn on the head and an external processor unit
- Figure 2 shows schematically the structure of a hearing aid according to the invention
- Figure 3 schematically shows the structure of the external processor unit.
- Figure 1 shows an exemplary embodiment of the structure of a binaural hearing aid system 1, 2, 3 with two hearing aids 1 and 2 and an external processor unit 3. Between the two hearing aids and between each hearing aid and the external processor unit there are signal paths 4, 5 and 6, which in Embodiment are bidirectional and wireless. Data can thus be exchanged within the hearing aid system 1, 2, 3 between the hearing aids and between a hearing aid and the external processor unit.
- FIG. 2 schematically illustrates the internal structure of a hearing device 1 of the hearing device system 1, 2, 3 according to FIG. 1.
- the hearing aid 1 comprises a directional microphone 10 with a variable directional characteristic for recording an acoustic input signal. This is fed to a signal processing unit 11, in which the input signal is processed for adaptation to the hearing loss of a hearing device wearer. The output signal of the signal processing unit 11 is fed to a power amplifier 12 and finally to a receiver 13 for signal output.
- the hearing device 1 shown comprises a signal analysis unit 14 in which characteristic parameters of the sound field in which the hearing device 1 is located are determined from the input signal. These sound field characteristics identify signal levels, frequency spectra, modulation frequencies, modulation depths, noise components, spatial characteristics, etc. of acoustic signals of the sound field.
- the spatial characteristic values of the sound field can in turn include the coherence, directions of incidence of interference signals, the direction of incidence of the useful signal, etc.
- the sound field characteristic values determined in this way are stored in a memory area 15A of a memory 15 of the hearing device 1.
- the hearing aid 1 For wireless signal transmission between the hearing aid 1 and the further hearing aid 2 and the external processor unit 3 the hearing aid 1 has the transmitting and receiving unit 16.
- the sound field characteristic values determined in the hearing device 1 are transmitted to the hearing device 2 and the external processor unit 3 via this and the signal path 18.
- the hearing device receives the sound field characteristic values determined in an analog manner in the second hearing device 2 and the external processor unit 3 via the signal path 18.
- these are stored in the memory areas 15B and 15C of the memory 15. All three memory areas 15A, 15B, 15C are the control and
- Evaluation unit 17 supplied, which determines parameters for controlling the signal processing unit 11 from the sound field characteristic values in adaptation to the sound field.
- both the local sound field information and the information about the sound field are available in the hearing aid 1 at the other evaluation locations.
- the hearing aid 1 has extensive sound field information which is used to control the transmission parameters of the signal processing unit 11.
- this control can only be based on the consideration of the local sound field parameters.
- the control and evaluation unit 17 advantageously accesses at least the sound field parameters of both
- Hearing aids 1 and 2 better still based on the sound field characteristics at all three evaluation locations, and accordingly varies the parameters of the signal processing unit 11.
- Individual hearing aid functionalities for which a coordinated effect of both hearing aids 1 and 2 is necessary in the case of binaural care are synchronized in this way.
- Appropriate algorithms can be used to determine suitable parameters for the sound field even with different parameters.
- the sound field characteristic values determined at various evaluation locations allow statements regarding the sound field, for example about the sound field geometry, which are used in the Determination of characteristic values at only one evaluation location would not be possible at all.
- FIG. 3 shows the internal structure of the external processor unit 3 in the form of a remote control according to FIG. 1.
- This also has a microphone 20 for recording signals and a signal analysis unit 21 for generating sound field parameters that are in an operating mode of the hearing aid system 1, 2, 3 via the transmitting and receiving unit 23 and the signal path 25 to the two hearing aids 1 and 2 in the hearing aid system.
- the sound field characteristic values of the location of the hearing aid, of the location of the other hearing aid and of the location of the external processor unit 3 are thus present in each of the two hearing aids 1 and 2. This enables a comprehensive sound field analysis and, since the sound field characteristic values are equally present in both hearing aids 1 and 2, the synchronization of the two hearing aids.
- the sound field characteristic values of all three hearing aid devices also converge in the external processor unit 3.
- it is equipped with a memory 22 which is divided into the memory areas 22A, 22B, 22C. Because there is more space available for the control and evaluation unit 24 in the external processor unit 3 compared to the hearing aids 1 and 2, this is correspondingly complex, has a higher processor power and therefore enables a more extensive analysis of the sound field characteristic values for determination the listening situation tion.
- a signal for identifying the hearing situation is sent from the control and evaluation unit 24 via the transmitting and receiving unit 23 in the said operating mode of the hearing aid system
- Signal path 25 (which is composed of the signal paths 5 and 6 according to FIG. 1) and transmitted by the transmitting and receiving unit 16 to the control and evaluation unit 17 of the hearing aids 1 and 2, in order to adapt the signal processing unit 11 to this hearing situation.
- the components of the hearing aids or the external processor unit shown can be implemented in analog or digital circuit technology.
- the signal analysis units 14 and 21 as well as the control and evaluation units 17 and 24 comprise neural structures and fuzzy logic for the optimized determination of sound field parameters, the hearing situation and parameters of the signal processing unit 11.
