Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hearing aid system with two portable hearing aids on the head for binaural supply to a hearing aid wearer, the hearing aids each having an input converter for receiving an input signal and converting it into an electrical signal, a signal processing unit for processing and frequency-dependent amplification of the electrical signal and an output converter for converting the processed signal into a signal perceivable by the hearing aid wearer as an acoustic signal, wherein parameters for controlling the signal processing in the signal processing units can be set in the hearing aid devices to adapt the signal processing to different hearing situations and wherein control signals can be transmitted between the two hearing aid devices to adapt the in a hearing aid set parameters to the parameters set in the other hearing aid.
  • the invention further relates to a method for operating such a hearing aid system.
  • Hearing aids usually have an audio input for connection to external devices such as radio, television, CD player, MP3 player, etc.
  • the connection between the hearing aid and the external device is either wireless or wired.
  • the hearing aid in question is usually connected to a so-called “audio shoe” for audio reception. Starting from the audio shoe, a wire can then lead to the external device.
  • audio shoes are also known which comprise a transmitting and receiving unit for wireless data transmission between the hearing aid device and an external device.
  • Such wireless systems are also used, for example, in training rooms for the hearing impaired and are known under the name "MLX".
  • Hearing aid systems for the binaural care of a hearing impaired are often operated asymmetrically for audio reception. Only one of the two hearing aids is connected to the audio signal source. In this mode of operation, the adjustment of the settings of the two hearing aids of the hearing aid system is inappropriate.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a coupling of two hearing aid devices of a binaural hearing aid device system with audio reception that makes sense in terms of its settings.
  • the object is achieved according to the invention by a method with the features of claim 8 for operating a such hearing aid system.
  • an input signal is recorded by means of an input converter and converted into an electrical input signal.
  • at least one microphone which picks up an acoustic input signal, serves as the input converter.
  • Modern hearing aids often include a microphone system with a plurality of microphones in order to achieve reception, a directional characteristic, which is dependent on the direction of incidence of acoustic signals.
  • the input transducers can also include a telephone coil or an antenna for receiving electromagnetic input signals.
  • the input signals converted into electrical input signals by the input converter are fed to a signal processing unit for further processing and amplification. Further processing and amplification are generally carried out to compensate for the individual hearing loss of a hearing aid wearer as a function of the signal frequency.
  • the signal processing unit emits an electrical output signal, which is fed to the hearing aid wearer's hearing via an output transducer, so that the hearing aid perceives the output signal as an acoustic signal.
  • Earphones that generate an acoustic output signal are usually used as output transducers.
  • output transducers for generating mechanical vibrations are also known which directly excite certain parts of the hearing, such as the ossicles for vibrations.
  • Output converters are also known which directly stimulate nerve cells of the hearing.
  • Hearing aids can usually be set to different listening situations using different operating modes (hearing programs). Such hearing situations are, for example, “quiet surroundings", “television”, “conversation in noise” etc.
  • Another listening situation is audio reception in which the hearing aid is connected directly to an audio signal source via an electrical or electromagnetic connection.
  • the coupling in the "audio reception" listening situation is at least largely interrupted. This means that manual settings on one of the two hearing aids or parameter changes that are carried out automatically have no effect on the other hearing aid.
  • a hearing aid device that is switched to the active audio mode sends a control signal to the second hearing aid device and thus automatically switches this to the passive audio mode if the second hearing aid device is not also in the active audio mode.
  • the special settings of the hearing aid device in the active or passive audio mode can preferably be adjusted by a hearing aid acoustician when the hearing aid device is adapted.
  • passive audio mode the signal source corresponding to the wish of the hearing aid wearer can be used as the input signal of the hearing aid in question.
  • the obvious thing is the microphone signal to be able to perceive external noises, or a mute function of the hearing aid.
  • the mutual control of setting parameters in the binaural hearing aid system is at least largely eliminated. If audio reception is provided in both hearing aids, then in this operating mode there is preferably no longer any mutual interference.
  • a hearing aid system according to the invention, one of the hearing aids is operated manually by an operator, this results in the desired setting in this hearing aid.
  • a remote control is included in the hearing aid system, its operation can affect both hearing aids. For example, a volume adjustment can lead to a relative change in the volume setting of both hearing aids, the balance being maintained due to the uncoupled absolute value coupling.
  • a program switch carried out by means of the remote control preferably only leads to an adaptation of the hearing aid device in audio mode to different signal sources, e.g. pure audio reception or mixed operation "audio reception” and "microphone reception". A hearing aid in passive audio mode is then not affected by such a program switchover.
  • the hearing aid system If, in a hearing aid system according to the invention, the audio reception is ended, so that neither of the two hearing aids is connected to an audio signal source, the hearing aid system according to the invention returns to the settings relating to the hearing aids that it proposes Had the start of audio operation.
  • the hearing aid device previously operated in active audio mode specifies the volume setting and the second hearing aid device is slowly adapted to this setting when the volume is required to be adjusted ("fading").
  • the invention is explained in more detail below using an exemplary embodiment.
  • the figure shows a hearing aid system with a hearing aid 1 that can be worn behind the left ear and a hearing aid 2 that can be worn behind the right ear for binaural care of a hearing aid wearer.
  • a microphone 10 or 14 is used to record an acoustic input signal and convert it into an electrical signal.
  • This is processed in each case in a signal processing unit 11 or 15 and, depending on the signal frequency, is amplified to compensate for the individual hearing loss of the hearing aid wearer.
  • the processed and amplified signal is converted back into an acoustic signal by means of a receiver 12 and 16, respectively, and supplied to the hearing aid wearer's hearing via the sound channels 13 and 17 and subsequent sound tubes (not shown).
  • a wireless coupling is provided in the two hearing aids, so that changes in settings made automatically or manually in one of the two hearing aids have an effect on the other hearing aid.
  • the hearing aid 1 is operated manually by operating the volume control 4 or by pressing the program selection button 3, the volume is also changed in the hearing aid 2 or the active hearing program is switched over without having to operate the program selection button 5 or the volume control 6.
  • the hearing aid system is in audio mode, since at least one the hearing aid (hearing aid 1) is connected to an audio shoe 7. In the exemplary embodiment, this is attached to the lower end of the hearing aid 1.
  • the audio shoe 7 in the exemplary embodiment comprises a receiving unit for wireless reception of an electromagnetic signal originating from an audio signal source.
  • the audio signal source is designed as a CD player 8 with a transmitter.
  • actuation of control elements 3 or 4 has no effect on hearing aid device 2.
  • actuation of control elements 5 or 6 on hearing aid device 2 does not influence hearing aid device 1.
  • the hearing aid 1 When the audio shoe 7 is plugged onto the hearing aid 1, it is switched to the active audio mode.
  • the hearing aid 1 then sends a signal to the hearing aid 2 which is not connected to an audio shoe and is therefore put into the passive audio mode.
  • passive audio mode the hearing aid 2 is set in accordance with the user specifications specified when programming the hearing aid 2, e.g. on microphone reception or mute. Except for the conversion of the hearing aid 2 into the passive audio mode by the hearing aid 1, there is no further mutual interference between the hearing aids 1 and 2 during audio operation.
  • the hearing aid 1 falls back into the original operating mode in which it was before the audio mode began. Furthermore, a signal is transmitted from the hearing aid 1 to the hearing aid 2, which also indicates the end of the audio operation to the hearing aid and returns it to the original operating mode.
  • the hearing aid system further comprises a remote control 9.
  • This has the program keys labeled 1 to 4 for program selection and a rocker switch 18 for volume adjustment.
  • a program switchover by pressing one of the buttons labeled 1 to 4 only affects the hearing aid 1.
  • pure audio reception or mixed operation with audio and microphone reception can be set.
  • the invention achieves a meaningful setting of the hearing aids even in audio mode when one of the two hearing aids is operated directly or when the hearing aid system is operated by means of a remote control.
  • the remote control can also be used in conjunction with a binaural hearing aid system with coupled settings using one or both sides of an audio shoe.
  • the hearing aid system automatically adapts to the preferences of the hearing aid wearer in this special hearing situation.
