Definitions
- the present invention relates to a hearing aid with a Memory device for storing adjustment data of the hearing aid and an interface device for data communication with the storage device.
- a method for adjusting a such hearing aid concerns the present invention a method for adjusting a such hearing aid.
- Hearing aids are being further developed by bringing new insights into the signal processing can be implemented in circuits, housed on an integrated circuit (IC) in the hearing aid are.
- IC integrated circuit
- hearing aids For patient-specific adaptation of hearing aids takes Professional (Acoustician) settings on the hearing aid by Understand and apply signal processing concepts. He thinks doing so in the coined by the signal processing doctrines such as B. reinforcement, compression concept, Knee point, compression ratio, etc. It turns out that these signal processing terms are more durable than that Time lapse between development consecutive Hearing Aids generations. For example, hearing aids are which map such signal processing terms, in several implemented successive hearing aid generations.
- High-end hearing aid platforms are being developed by an IC all the possibilities of the most recent State of the art implemented corresponding signal processing become.
- the IC is provided with an interface accessing the signal processing units housed on the IC, d. H. a readout and also a setting same enable.
- the interface is designed that coherent sections as a hearing aid be handled, the above-mentioned terminology map the signal processing.
- the described software is built up in layers, so that in a first shift the reduction of the platform's own Hearing aid plate space on the device's own hearing aid user space is made.
- the device's own whilr space is on an interface of another software layer posed.
- a second software layer is an interpreter accommodating sequences of program instructions, by according to these program commands the current Hearing aid position changes. This is explicit to the publication (EP 109 16 20 A1) of the applicant directed.
- the second software layer is a third one Software layer, which is a user for the end user Interface maps and receives from him input commands. Such input command, for example, a Loading a program command sequence in the second Layer is processed by the interpreter.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to one for hearing aid families and generations across unified command set to customize hearing aids being able to use, creating a condition for small and specialized hearing aid control software modules, for example can be created by smartphone.
- this object is achieved by a hearing aid with a first memory device for storing adjustment data the hearing aid and an interface device for data communication of an external device with the first Memory device, wherein the interface device in the hearing device is implemented as hardware and the interface device individually configurable.
- the invention provides a method for adjusting of such a hearing aid by providing the Hearing aid, providing a universal instruction set, Interpreting a universal instruction set instruction, Mask the interpreted command according to the type of the hearing aid and accessing the first storage device according to the masked, interpreted command.
- the configuration can be a universal platform for a single hearing aid and implementing the interpreter in the IC.
- the tasks, which are still to be mastered by the software are comparatively small, so that for example a fitting assistant (Dialog unit of the fitting software) on a mobile Hardware (smartphone / mobile phone) can be implemented.
- the interface device provided in the hearing aid according to the invention can be an allocation unit, with the data packets from or for the first storage device semantically can be assigned. This allows access to the register or the first storage device by means Hardware by a single register language.
- the interface device has a masking unit, with the a predetermined part of the over Interface device transferable data is maskable. This allows uniform program commands for high-end devices and low-end devices, for example, in their length depending on Hearing aid type are masked differently.
- a Computing device which to the interface device is connected, integrated to execute program commands be.
- This can, for example, the adaptation program commands to be performed directly in the hearing aid and it can do without an external PC become.
- a second memory device for storing Program commands integrated into the hearing aid.
- This second Memory device can be macro commands in a domain-specific Save language. The computing device should then have interpreter functionality.
- a hearing aid instruction set is provided, to whose central component an adjustment of signal processing manipulated variables, such as amplification, compression concept, Knee point, compression ratio, etc., heard.
- This hearing aid instruction set is from the beginning on expandability designed so that signal processing variables, which will be defined in the future by a simple one Addition to the vocabulary, but usually without redefinition or extension of the syntax, in the instruction set with can be included.
- the signal processing variables can be used Assign to the operators of a hearing aid. This assignability is guaranteed across all software layers.
- a new hearing aid generation hearing aid device which is the same Take over function as in the precursor generation, different addressed.
- the format of a Such a hearing aid plate other than that of its predecessor generation For example, in the corresponding Hardware registers used a larger number of bits.
- the invention therefore further provides a unitary but extensible one System of addresses and formats for hearing aid users to define and implement this on the IC. This system could then start from a first hearing aid generation be maintained for each successive generation.
- the invention provides that now also the interpreter is implemented such that it, prompted by appropriate Program commands, the hearing aid in this unified system changes or reads out.
- the invention also contemplates that the one implemented on the IC Interpreter with an external interface is provided via the hearing aid programs or individual Hearing aid program commands can be transferred is pending.
- This site is an interface for a domain-specific (that is, a language compatible with terminology of the field of application works) programming instruction set. This interface makes the development smaller, if necessary available across generations, across generations and possibly manufacturer-independent Software modules economically interesting.
- a hearing aid When a hearing aid is to be adapted to a hearing aid wearer, becomes a register 1, in which the setting values of the various Hearing aid are stored by means of a user Interface 2, which is installed on a PC, manipulated.
- a user Interface 2 which is installed on a PC, manipulated.
- Each bit stands for a configuration of a signal processing block.
- the register 1 is on the IC of Hearing device arranged.
- a typical HIPRO interface for hearing aids 3 ensures the access of an external Software, controlled by the User Interface 2, on the register 1. All components between the HIPRO interface 3 and the user interface 2 are in accordance with the state technology as PC software.
- an abstraction unit 4 which is the User Interface 2 is downstream, still implemented as software.
- This abstraction unit then communicates directly with a HIPRO interface 3 'or optionally with a wireless interface.
- This interface 3 ' provides a connection to a computing unit 5 and an associated Memory unit 6, both on the hearing aid IC are installed, fro.
- In the arithmetic unit 5 are program commands or macros from the memory unit 6 processed. These macros or commands are in a domain-specific Language for manipulating a hearing aid control or Formulated Global Access Control. The desired commands are triggered by the abstraction unit 4.
- the commands in the arithmetic unit 5 are the hearing aid specific commands to the standardized instruction set assigned.
- the command consists of setting the amplification in a certain frequency band for a high-end device with many settings out of five Data units (see FIG.
- the same command can for one Low-end hearing aid from fewer data units 7 exist because This device has fewer adjustment options.
- Not used data units 8 are therefore when reading from the Register 1 is masked by a masking unit 9. Therefore, must the unused data units 8 accessing the register 1 for using the standardized command syntax the low-end device in reversal of the masking process again be supplemented.
- the standardized command thus obtained 10 is in an allocation unit 11 the register units assigned semantically.
- the hearing aid combines advantages a freely programmable device with those of a power and area-saving device. In the case of possible enforcement can even the customer request for uniform software met become. In addition, research is facilitated.
