Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for adapting a hearing device to a momentary acoustic environment situation according to the preamble of claim 1 and to a hearing device system according to the preamble of claim 9.
  • a method and a hearing aid system of this type are known from WO-A-01/20965 or the corresponding US-A-2002/0037087 known.
  • the instantaneous acoustic environment situation is identified in the hearing device of the hearing aid system and, based on this identified environmental situation, the corresponding hearing program, ie the corresponding parameter set stored in the hearing device, is set automatically.
  • an input unit eg a switch on the hearing device or a remote control, is present, which can be actuated by the hearing device wearer.
  • hearing aids are also known in which the hearing aid wearer has to make the selection of the suitable hearing program manually from a number of hearing programs stored in the hearing aid, specifically via a remote control or via a switch on the hearing aid. For many users, however, switching between different programs is annoying or difficult, especially when many programs are available.
  • a binaural hearing aid system with at least two hearing aid devices is known in which "sound field characteristics" are exchanged between the hearing aid devices in order to adapt the signal processing to different listening situations.
  • sound field characteristics are exchanged between the hearing aid devices in order to adapt the signal processing to different listening situations.
  • a hearing aid system is known in which the parameter setting of the hearing aid device assigned to each hearing situation is not already specified during the adaptation by the hearing aid acoustician, but initially for each hearing situation several experimental parameter sets are provided. In an optimization phase, the hearing aid wearer can then determine which parameter set is most suitable for him individually in the individual hearing situations. This parameter set is finally assigned to the hearing situation.
  • the present invention is based on the object to provide a method or a hearing aid system of the type mentioned, in which the belonging to the respective acoustic environment situation hearing program is set manually or automatically, the hearing aid wearer can bring his personal listening desire optimally.
  • the hearing aid wearer can influence the hearing aid program which is set manually or automatically in the hearing device of the hearing aid system, ie. on the parameter set belonging to the latter, by adjusting the parameters of this parameter set according to predetermined rules stored in the hearing aid by means of an input part which is easy to operate.
  • the hearing aid wearer is enabled, in any environment situation, to easily adapt the hearing program that has been set to this particular environmental situation to his listening desire, e.g. in the sense of "better understanding” or "more pleasant hearing".
  • the parameters of the set parameter set are adjusted starting from a set nominal value within a predetermined control range according to predetermined rules in each case in one of two opposite directions.
  • Hearing aid system shown as a block diagram includes a hearing aid 1, the electroacoustic transducer, namely at least one microphone, but preferably as shown two microphones 2 a, 2 b, and a handset 3 (speaker) having.
  • the microphones 2a, 2b are connected via an analog / digital converter 4 to the input of an adjustable in their transmission characteristics transmission unit 5, which is connected on the output side via a digital / analog converter 6 to the handset 3.
  • the transmission unit 5 stores a number of different parameter sets, each of which is assigned to a specific acoustic environment situation and determines a transmission characteristic of the transmission unit 5.
  • a parameter set 7 is in the Fig. 3 shown schematically.
  • the hearing aid 1 includes a signal processing part 8, which is connected by a signal analysis unit 9 and a connected thereto Signal identification unit 10 is formed.
  • the signal analysis unit 9 is connected to the output of the analog / digital converter 4 and the input side of the input signal of the transmission unit 5 is applied.
  • the output of the signal identification unit 10 is connected to the transmission unit 5, to which further an input part 11 is operatively connected.
  • This input part 11 is formed in the embodiment shown as a remote from the hearing aid remote unit 12, which is wirelessly in communication with the hearing aid 1. This in Fig.
  • remote control unit 12 has a housing 13 in which the required electronic components not shown are housed, and two buttons 14 and 15, which are easily identified identifiable for the hearing aid wearer, in the illustrated embodiment with "+” (eg “better understanding") and "-” (eg means “more comfortable listening”).
  • the input part 11 can also be designed so that the input can be made voice-controlled by the hearing aid wearer.
  • auditory-based features and possibly additionally technically-based features are extracted from the output signals of the analog / digital converter 4. Due to the features extracted in the signal analysis unit 9, the instantaneous acoustic ambient situation is determined in the signal identification unit 10 by recognition of the same or similar pattern of the extracted features, and a corresponding output signal is generated.
  • This output signal which contains information about the acoustic environment situation, is supplied to the transmission unit 5, in which the, the current transmission characteristic of the transmission unit 5-determining parameter set is set, which is assigned to the identified acoustic environment situation.
  • a hearing program from the hearing aid wearer can be manually applied to the hearing aid itself or via the remote control unit 12 to get voted.
  • the set of parameters belonging to the selected hearing program is adjusted via the input part according to predetermined rules stored in the hearing aid.
  • the hearing aid wearer thus has the option of influencing the parameter set, which is selected automatically or manually as described, ie the set hearing program.
  • the input part 11 which, as already mentioned, is operatively connected to the transmission unit 5. How this influence takes place is described below with reference to Fig. 3 explained in more detail.
  • this parameter set 7 consist of the parameters P1-Pn.
  • the nominal value set for each parameter and stored in the transmission unit 5 is represented by a narrow hatched bar and denoted by N.
  • the parameters P1-Pn can be calculated from this nominal value N in two opposite directions C, D between two end values, which in the Fig. 3 A and B are designated and define a control range to be changed.
  • not every parameter P1-Pn can be adjusted individually, which would be very confusing and unmanageable for the hearing aid wearer.
  • the parameters P1-Pn for all parameters are changed simultaneously and jointly according to predetermined rules or rule sets stored in the hearing aid 1.
  • predetermined rules or rule sets stored in the hearing aid 1.
  • the individual parameters of the set parameter set can be changed by a different amount, ie individual parameters can undergo significant changes, while other parameters are little or not changed.
  • the hearing aid user has adjusted the parameters in the direction of the arrow C by operating the key 15 (adjustment in the sense of "more pleasant hearing”).
  • the parameters are now set to the value indicated by X.
  • the hearing aid wearer has changed the parameters in the direction of the arrow D, so that the parameters are now set to the value designated by Y.
  • the parameter P3 has not been changed in the example shown.
  • the adjustment of the parameters may be in steps or stepless as well as either soft, i. inaudible, or hard, i. audible, done.
  • the hearing aid wearer is able to bring in or further introduce his personal listening request in the case of automatic but also manual selection of the hearing program belonging to the current environment situation. This will be illustrated by an example.
  • the hearing aid wearer is in a restaurant. In the background is music. At the same table sit other people who are having a conversation. The hearing aid automatically or manually adjusts to the given instantaneous acoustic environment situation in the manner described. The hearing aid wearer may now wish to be able to better follow the conversation at the table or to be able to listen more to the music. If he wants to follow the conversation better, he presses the key 14 and adjusts the parameters P1-Pn in the direction of arrow D in the sense of "better understanding, selective hearing or more speech intelligibility". However, if the hearing aid user wants to hear the music better, he actuates the other key 15 and adjusts the parameters P1-Pn in the direction of the arrow C in the sense of "more pleasant hearing and improved all-round listening".
  • the hearing aid can store a large number of different hearing programs, ie the corresponding parameter sets.
  • the best hearing program for the current acoustic environment situation is automatically selected.
  • the hearing device wearer can easily implement his listening desire, which can change from one acoustic environment situation to the next, but also within a given environment situation, namely by pressing a key on a keyboard.
  • the latter comes with two buttons, but can also have more than two buttons.
  • the inventive concept allows the creation of a user-friendly hearing aid that automatically, possibly also manually, on the current acoustic Setting the environment situation and is also able to take into account the respective hearing request of the hearing aid wearer.
  • the described hearing device 1 can be designed so that the corrected parameter sets, which have been changed by the hearing aid wearer according to his desire to hear as described above, are stored in the hearing aid. Does it appear that in a certain acoustic environment situation the hearing aid wearer alters the originally stored parameter set associated with this environmental situation repeatedly in the same way, i. always in the same direction and by the same measure, this originally stored parameter set can be replaced by the changed, corrected parameter set. The corrected parameter set is then used as the default setting.
  • This replacement of the originally stored parameter set with the corrected parameter set can be automatically learned by the hearing aid itself, e.g. by a neural network, or by a hearing care professional or the hearing aid user himself.
  • the parameters P1-Pn are changed simultaneously for all parameters and according to predetermined rules or rule sets stored in the hearing aid 1, ie for different acoustic environmental situations different rules or rule sets are used.
  • these explanations also mean that information is provided by the Remote unit 12 in the transmission unit 5 on the basis of information from the signal processing part 8, in particular information of the signal identification unit 10, ie information on the current acoustic environment situation, interpreted. From the user's point of view, this means that the buttons 14, 15 of the remote control unit 12 are automatically assigned different functions, ie, depending on a current environmental situation.
  • the keys 14, 15, for example, the control of the sound balance and / or transmitted via parameters of a Mehrmikrophonsystems used. If the sound balance is controlled by the two keys 14, 15, by pressing the key 14 or 15, high-frequency signal components can be raised and / or low-frequency signal components are lowered, or vice versa. Further information on the sound balance can be found in the publication of Harvey Dillon entitled “Hearing Aids” (Boomerang Press, 2001, ISBN 1-58890-052-5), in particular its chapter 11.1.6 subtitled "Tonal quality" (page 308 ). For more information on multi-microphone systems will be on Chapter 7.1 subtitled "Multi-Microphone and Other Directional Hearing Aids "(pages 188 to 195 ) of the same publication.
  • the acoustic environment in a vehicle can be characterized by stationary noise or by low-frequency stationary background noise.
  • the keys 14, 15 can be assigned the parameters according to a low-pass filter or according to a working at low frequencies compressor.
  • the settings which have been effected by the hearing aid wearer by operating the remote control unit 12 are recorded in the hearing aid.
  • Such manual overrides by the hearing aid wearer are carried out repeatedly in the same or similar manner, is provided according to a further embodiment of the invention to permanently store the manual settings in order to set them automatically when the respective acoustic environment situation occurs, virtually as an initial setting.
  • Conceivable in this context is an embodiment of the invention in which the mentioned automatic adjustability is specified by the acoustician, i.
  • the Acoustician will determine with the hearing aid wearer if manual changes made several times are to be automatically added to the initial setting after a certain time, or if the changes are merely recorded and may be added to the initial adjustment by the hearing care professional after the hearing aid is next adjusted ,
  • the hearing device system described above is used in the sense of a hearing aid for correcting a damaged hearing of a person.
  • the method according to the invention and the hearing aid concept according to the invention can also be applied analogously to other acoustic systems Communication systems, such as in radios, applied or used.
  • the invention is particularly applicable to binaural hearing aids, it being conceivable that information in one of the two hearing aids or in both hearing aids are recorded. If information is only recorded in one of the two hearing aids, a first embodiment consists in recording information from both hearing aids.
  • a second and thus simplified embodiment is to record information from a hearing aid alone.
