Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and a Device for individually adjusting a hearing aid for a hearing aid wearer.
  • a hearing impaired person gets used to wearing them constantly of a hearing system to the transmission properties and thus for example the sound of this hearing system. requires for example, he has a new one due to hearing loss Device, he often feels the unusual sound as strange and rejects a new hearing system. This rejection comes especially with modern hearing systems, because of these the advances in digital technology are often very smooth Frequency responses can be realized. For this reason in the case of follow-up care, often instead of a modern hearing system the same type of hearing system already worn. This does not improve the hearing impaired one and he does not benefit from further development of the hearing systems.
  • Another relief for switching to a new one Hearing aid system can be achieved by looking at served several acclimatization levels.
  • the acclimatization levels cause a slow approach to the actually prescribed reinforcement of the hearing system independently from the actual customer request. So when adjusting a new hearing system first a certain acclimatization level ("for inexperienced") selected. Has the hearing impaired over a period of a few weeks to this attitude the next time you visit the acoustician the next acclimatization level is set. On in this way the actually aimed, from audiological Optimal setting achieved. But it sets several sessions with the acoustician in advance. During this Acclimatization cycle had to deal with the hearing impaired get used to a new sound. If this did not work, then so the acoustician had to work by hand or supported by Questionnaires optimize the sound of the new hearing system.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore the setting of a hearing aid taking into account a To optimize customer requirements.
  • this object is achieved by a method to automatically adjust a second hearing aid Analyze a first hearing aid providing one Analysis result, determination of setting parameters of the second hearing device with the analysis result of the first hearing device and adjusting the second hearing aid on the basis of the determined setting parameters.
  • a device is provided according to the invention to automatically set a second hearing aid with an analysis device for analyzing a first hearing device providing an analysis result, an investigative device to determine setting parameters of the second hearing device with the analysis result of the first hearing device and a setting device for setting the second Hearing aid based on the determined setting parameters.
  • the hearing system can be used like the old hearing system can be adjusted, the sound in a quiet environment is similar to the sound of the old hearing system. In noisier However, the hearing aid wearer can benefit from the environment a new hearing system, such as speech recognition, Directional microphone, etc., benefit. By the familiar The customer will get used to the new hearing system faster can.
  • the analysis can read out the setting parameters of the old or the first hearing aid include. This Reading is a good tool for quick analysis results to obtain.
  • the first hearing aid can be analyzed are presented by input sound signals and the am Output sound signals generated hearing aid output examined become. This also leads to the goal of hearing aids with a Readout device with regard to hardware or software are incompatible.
  • the automatic analysis can also read out Setting parameters and simulating the behavior of the first Include hearing aid with a simulation model. Through this Complex measurements can be dispensed with in simulation.
  • the setting of the second hearing aid can be done by contact or contactless feeding of setting values. So it is no longer necessary for an acoustician make the appropriate settings manually.
  • the setting of the second hearing aid can be based on of a dynamic model. This makes the adjustment process easier since the results of the settings made can be modeled in advance.
  • a dynamic model means a static one Model is a model with which the output audio signals of a Hearing aids can be simulated by any Input signals originate.
  • the dynamic Model transient effects of the hearing aid are taken into account become.
  • using a static model only steady state simulated. With a static Model usually only gain curves are obtained, which is determined from the spectral input information can be.
  • the second hearing aid with the determined Setting parameters can be the setting parameters in a predetermined Changed time period for predefined setting parameters become. With this it is possible to start with the old one Hearing aid corresponding setting gradually to a new, advanced setting that only the new hearing aid enables to change. Through this continuously in time ongoing fitting process becomes acceptance of a new one Hearing aid significantly increased.
  • the time span for the continuous automatic adjustment can be chosen arbitrarily.
  • the transmission characteristics of the old hearing aid are determined and serve as target reinforcement for the setting of the new one Hearing aid.
  • Such an adjustment in terms of the acoustic characteristics of a old hearing aids can both when switching to a hearing aid from another manufacturer may be helpful as well the replacement of a hearing aid with a newer or more complex one Product of the same manufacturer, or when switching to another design (e.g. from BTE to ITE device).
  • the present invention is therefore an automatic one Adaptation of the new hearing aid to target gain characteristics (frequency- and generally level-dependent targets) are provided, where the targets are not, as is conventional, from sound threshold audiometric based formulas (e.g. B. NAL-NL1, DSL [i / o]), but the associated gain characteristics of the old hearing aid.
  • sound threshold audiometric based formulas e.g. B. NAL-NL1, DSL [i / o]
  • the gain characteristics of the old Hearing aids in the general case by measuring the hearing aid gain determined. This can be done through any reasonable Measuring equipment take place, for. B. as coupler measurement, in-situ measurement, KEMAR, etc. Any of the characteristics can be measured Stimuli are used, but preferably one speech-simulating noise. If necessary, the recorded Gain characteristics are still being transformed, before being input into the first fit algorithm for first fitting (e.g. coupler mounts would still have to be received transformed into aided response data using RECD, if the first fit algorithm is based on aided Response targets automatically sets the hearing aid).
  • the first fit algorithm for first fitting e.g. coupler mounts would still have to be received transformed into aided response data using RECD, if the first fit algorithm is based on aided Response targets automatically sets the hearing aid.
  • the overall process of measuring the old hearing aid and the subsequent one The new hearing device is preferably set fully automatic. Alternatively, the characteristics of the old hearing aids semi-automatically (with interaction from the performing person). The setting of the new However, hearing aid based on the determined curves in any case automatically, d. H. without any interaction would be necessary by the user.
  • the gain characteristic curves can be measured can also be replaced by the corresponding simulation.
  • This Case can occur, for example, if the old device be replaced by another device from the same manufacturer (e.g. better hearing aid or other design of the same Hearing aid).
  • the measurement of the hearing aid characteristics of the old hearing aid by simulating it Characteristic curves are replaced. This reduces the potential Errors that can occur during the measurement and accelerated generally the whole process, since the simulation is usually is faster than a measurement.
  • FIG. 1 shows in principle the procedures for setting up a new hearing aid. For this becomes the old hearing aid to which the hearing aid wearer gets used has undergone an analysis 1. For the analysis 1 a sound sample 2 serves as an input signal. The in the automatic Analysis method 1 analysis data obtained to determine 3 the optimal setting of the new hearing aid used. This also includes the input signals sound examples 2 used for the analysis are taken into account. Of course, the setting takes place against the background the audiometric measurement data 4 instead. Beyond that other values are used for the setting, e.g. B. Experience of the hearing aid wearer with hearing aids, "auditive lifestyle "etc., for a presetting (" FirstFit ”) of the new hearing aid.
  • a dynamic model of the new hearing aid is used to the mode of operation of the hearing aid depending on certain Model input variables. This speeds it up Adjustment procedure, since certain complex measurements are dispensed with can be.
  • dynamic Model of the new hearing aid instead of dynamic Model of the new hearing aid also uses the new hearing aid itself become. However, this is due to the programming time and measuring time very complex.
  • All common hearing aid measurement methods can be used as analysis methods for "insertion gain”, frequency response, transient and decay behavior, Input / output characteristics etc., which consistently artificial test signals such as sine tones, chirps, noise, use artificial language etc. This proves to be particularly suitable in the article "Perceptive Analysis of Compression Systems", Josef Chalupper, DGA 2002 presented methods. With this procedure any measurement signals, including speech and music, are used and the hearing aid output signals are off from the perspective of the human recipient. In contrast, all common methods are based on physical model assumptions through the hearing aid. With this new method become both hearing aid input and output signals taking into account the characteristics of human Recipient regarding time and frequency resolution, recruitment, Resting threshold and the like analyzed and from it an effective gain is calculated. When calculating this Effective reinforcement can also make results more common Incorporate methods.
  • the analysis is carried out by first Test signal considering the user's preferences is selected. For example, if the user especially satisfied with the sound of his old device with music is used as test signal music. The hearing aid will then sonicated with this test signal.
  • the subsequent perceptive Analysis by the above method finally yields the effective gain.
  • the old hearing aid describes the effective amplification from the user's point of view (i.e. perceptually) almost completely. This does not necessarily correspond to a physical one full description.
  • a target gain is calculated.
  • This goal reinforcement can are now adjusted to the effective gain, whereby the features of the new device that, for example, this with longer time constants causes less distortion, in addition be taken into account.
  • the hearing aid parameters of the new device so that the adjusted one Target reinforcement is achieved as precisely as possible.
  • the above-mentioned, preferably dynamic hearing aid model be used.
  • FIG. 2 shows a sketch of a concrete realization of a first embodiment.
  • An old hearing aid 6 has one Programming socket into which a corresponding plug 7 is inserted becomes.
  • This connector 7 is with a hearing system programming interface 8 connected, which in turn from a PC 9 is controlled.
  • the hearing aid programming interface 8 has still a connection to a programming connector 10, with which a new hearing aid 11 is programmable.
  • the frequency response and also the other properties of the old hearing system 6 via the hearing system programming interface 8 calculate using a model.
  • the data will stored in a suitable form using fitting software and made accessible for the adaptation of the new hearing system 11.
  • the computer-assisted reading of the setting parameters of the old one Hearing aid 6 is a relatively quick and simple Means the character of the old hearing aid 6 to the new hearing aid 11 to transfer.
  • the old hearing aid with software and hardware with the analysis device 7, 8, 9 is compatible.
  • appropriate conversion software must be available, with the old parameters in corresponding new parameters can be implemented for the new hearing aid 11.
  • the PC 9 is equipped with a computer-aided measuring system 12 connected, which has a speaker 13 and a microphone 14.
  • the measuring system is favorably in a measuring box (not shown) housed and arranged such that a hearing aid can be automatically measured in the measuring box can.

These allow the frequency response and other acoustic Properties of the new hearing system 11 after reprogramming to check. This way the setting of the new hearing device 11 are carried out in a refined manner, since the setting system through the speaker 15 and the microphone 16 receives feedback about the reprogramming.
  • a fourth embodiment of the present invention is in 5 outlined.
  • the structure of the setting device corresponds essentially that of FIG. 4.
  • the new hearing aid 11 is not a hearing aid programming interface 8 programmable. Instead, the programming takes place by means of an actuator on the hearing system, and the PC 9 with the Customization software shows the changes to be made to the actuator on. These changes are based on the measurement values, obtained via the microphones 14 and 16 are derived and optionally iterative (i.e., e.g. Position change, measurement, position change, measurement etc.) optimized. In this way there are also new systems on old systems customizable, even if both systems in terms of hardware or software with each other or with the setting device are incompatible.
