Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Hörhilfevorrichtung mit einer Klassifikationseinrichtung zum Klassifizieren einer aktuellen Hörsituation, einer Einstelleinrichtung zum Einstellen des Klangs der Hörhilfevorrichtung und einer Speichereinrichtung, die an die Klassifikationseinrichtung und die Einstelleinrichtung angeschlossen ist, zum Speichern einer Klangeinstellung mit zugeordneter Klassifikation. Darüber hinaus betrifft die vorliegende Erfindung ein entsprechendes Verfahren zum Betreiben einer Hörhilfevorrichtung.The present invention relates to a hearing aid device having a classification device for classifying a current hearing situation, a setting device for adjusting the sound of the hearing aid device and a memory device which is connected to the classification device and the setting device, for storing a sound setting with assigned classification. Moreover, the present invention relates to a corresponding method for operating a hearing aid device.
Die individuell bevorzugten Klangeinstellungen eines Hörgeräts sind von der akustischen Umgebung abhängig. Beispielsweise werden für Musik höhere Pegel bei tiefen Frequenzen gewünscht als bei einer Unterhaltung in lärmerfüllter Umgebung. Dies bedeutet, dass die Klangeinstellung in der Regel abhängig von der Signalklasse durchgeführt wird.The individually preferred sound settings of a hearing aid are dependent on the acoustic environment. For example, higher levels at low frequencies are desired for music than when talking in noisy environments. This means that the sound adjustment is usually done depending on the signal class.
Moderne Hörgeräte besitzen Klassifikationssysteme, welche die aktuelle Hörsituation erfassen und entsprechende Einstellungen im Hörgerät vornehmen. Diese Einstellungen werden während einer Anpasssitzung beim Akustiker ermittelt und fest in das Hörgerät eingegeben. Der Hörgeräteträger kann dann ausgehend von dieser festen Einstellung bei veränderten Klangwünschen entsprechende Änderungen der Klangeinstellungen jeweils ausgehend von der festen Einstellung für die jeweilige Hörsituation manuell vornehmen. Um ein ständiges Nachtstellen zu vermeiden, ist ein Nachjustieren beim Akustiker notwendig.Modern hearing aids have classification systems which detect the current hearing situation and make corresponding settings in the hearing aid. These settings are determined during an adjustment session with the acoustician and are entered firmly into the hearing aid. The hearing aid wearer can then make appropriate changes in the sound settings, starting from the fixed setting for the respective listening situation, starting from this fixed setting with changed sound wishes. In order to avoid a constant night setting, a readjustment at the acoustician is necessary.
Aus der europäischen Patentschrift EP 0 814 634 B1 ist ein programmierbares Hörgerätesystem bekannt. Dabei wird der jeder Hörsituation zugeordnete Parametersatz eines programmierbaren Hörhilfegeräts nicht schon bei der Anpassung beim Hör geräteakustiker festgelegt, sondern es werden anfangs für jede Hörsituation mehrere Versuchsparametersätze vorgesehen. In einer Optimierungsphase kann der Hörgeräteträger dann ermitteln, welcher Parametersatz individuell für ihn in den einzelnen Hörsituationen am besten geeignet ist. Dieser Parametersatz wird schließlich der Hörsituation fest zugeordnet. Damit erfolgt eine Anpassung an reale akustische Umgebungsbedingungen, die weitgehend vom Hörgeräteträger selbst vorgenommen werden kann.A programmable hearing aid system is known from the European patent EP 0 814 634 B1. In this case, the parameter set of a programmable hearing aid device assigned to each hearing situation does not already match the hearing However, it is initially intended for each hearing situation several experimental parameter sets. 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 listening situation. This is an adaptation to real acoustic environmental conditions, which can be largely made by the hearing aid wearer itself.
Darüber hinaus beschreibt die Druckschrift DE 101 52 197 A1 ein Verfahren zum Programmieren eines Hörgeräts mit Hilfe einer Fernbedienung. Der Hörgeräteträger kann sein Hörgerät in einen Aufnahmemodus schalten, in dem absolute oder relative Parameteränderungen betreffend die Lautstärke, Höhen- oder Tiefenanhebung, Aktivieren eines Rauschfilters usw. aufgezeichnet werden. Die Aufzeichnung wird durch Betätigen einer Speicher-Taste beendet und im Hörgerät oder der Fernbedienung gespeichert. Erkennt nun das Hörgerät abermals die gleiche Hörsituation, so werden neben der Einstellung des dafür vorgesehenen Hörprogramms auch die zuvor aufgezeichneten Bedienschritte wirksam, so dass eine individuelle Anpassung des Hörprogramms an die jeweilige Umgebungssituation erfolgt.In addition, the document DE 101 52 197 A1 describes a method for programming a hearing device by means of a remote control. The hearing aid user can switch his hearing aid into a recording mode in which absolute or relative parameter changes relating to the volume, increase in altitude or depth, activation of a noise filter, etc. are recorded. The recording is stopped by pressing a memory button and stored in the hearing aid or the remote control. If the hearing device now recognizes the same hearing situation again, the previously recorded operating steps become effective in addition to the setting of the hearing program provided for this purpose, so that an individual adaptation of the hearing program to the respective ambient situation takes place.
Die Druckschrift EP 1 453 356 A2 offenbart ferner ein Verfahren zum Einstellen eines Hörsystems, wobei während des Betriebs eine interaktive Anpassung vorgenommen werden kann. Ein Klassifikator erkennt verschiedene Hörsituationen und startet interaktive Anpassprozeduren, in deren Rahmen verschiedene Einstellungen zu bewerten sind. Dabei werden nur Einstellungen angeboten, die zur Hörsituation passen.The document EP 1 453 356 A2 further discloses a method for adjusting a hearing system, wherein during the operation an interactive adaptation can be made. A classifier recognizes different listening situations and starts interactive fitting procedures, in which different settings are to be evaluated. Only settings that match the listening situation are offered.
Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, die individuelle Anpassung eines Hörgeräts komfortabler zu gestalten.The object of the present invention is to make the individual adaptation of a hearing aid more comfortable.
Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe gelöst durch eine Hörhilfevorrichtung mit einer Klassifikationseinrichtung zum Klassifizieren einer aktuellen Hörsituation, einer Einstelleinrichtung zum Einstellen des Klangs der Hörhilfevorrichtung und einer Speichereinrichtung, die an die Klassifikationseinrichtung und die Einstelleinrichtung angeschlossen ist, zum Speichern einer Klangeinstellung mit zugeordneter Klassifikation, wobei in der Speichereinrichtung eine Klangeinstellung nach jeder Einstellung automatisch mit der zugehörigen Klassifikation abspeicherbar ist.According to the invention, this object is achieved by a hearing aid device having a classification device for classifying a current hearing situation, a setting device for adjusting the sound of the hearing aid device and a memory device which is connected to the classification device and the setting device, for storing a sound setting with assigned classification, wherein in the Memory device is a sound adjustment after each setting automatically with the associated classification can be stored.
Ferner ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen ein Verfahren zum Betreiben einer Hörhilfevorrichtung durch Klassifizieren einer aktuellen Hörsituation, Einstellen des Klangs der Hörhilfevorrichtung und Speichern einer Klangeinstellung mit zugeordneter Klassifikation, wobei eine Klangeinstellung nach jeder Verstellung automatisch mit der zugehörigen Klassifikation abgespeichert wird.Furthermore, the invention provides a method for operating a hearing aid by classifying a current hearing situation, adjusting the sound of the hearing aid and storing a sound setting with assigned classification, wherein a sound adjustment is automatically stored after each adjustment with the associated classification.
Die erfindungsgemäße Hörhilfevorrichtung befindet sich also ständig im Lernmodus, wobei immer die letzten Änderungen/Einstellungen, die vom Benutzer vorgenommen wurden, in dem gerade aktuellen Hörprogramm gespeichert werden. Diese Einstellungen werden dann erneut übernommen, wenn die Hörhilfevorrichtung wieder in dieses Programm geschaltet wird.The hearing aid device according to the invention is thus constantly in the learning mode, whereby always the last changes / adjustments made by the user are stored in the currently current hearing program. These settings are then applied again when the hearing aid device is switched back into this program.
Vorzugsweise umfasst die Einstelleinrichtung eine Fernbedienung. Diese gewährleistet eine komfortablere Bedienung der Hörhilfevorrichtung bzw. des Hörgeräts. Mit der Fernbedienung lässt sich vorzugsweise auch der Klang der Hörhilfevorrichtung für die aktuelle Hörsituation einstellen.Preferably, the adjustment device comprises a remote control. This ensures a more comfortable operation of the hearing aid device or the hearing aid. The remote control can also be used to adjust the sound of the hearing aid device for the current hearing situation.
Entsprechend einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform kann mit Hilfe der Klassifikationseinrichtung automatisch in eine der aktuellen Hörsituation entsprechenden Signalklasse mit zugehöriger Klangeinstellung geschaltet werden. Mit der automatischen Speicherung der Klangeinstellung bleibt diese nicht nur beim Ein- und Ausschalten der Hörhilfevorrichtung in dem zuletzt gewählten Zustand erhalten, sondern auch beim automatischen Wechsel des Hörprogramms entsprechend der jeweiligen Signalklasse.According to a preferred embodiment, with the aid of the classification device, it is possible to switch automatically into a signal class with associated sound setting corresponding to the current hearing situation. With the automatic Storage of the sound setting remains this not only when switching on and off the hearing aid in the last selected state, but also in the automatic change of the hearing program according to the respective signal class.
Bei der automatischen Umschaltung des Hörprogramms ist es günstig, wenn von einer ersten Klangeinstellung in eine zweite Klangeinstellung übergeblendet wird. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass der Hörgeräteträger nicht von einer hohen Lautstärke überrascht wird, wenn ein bestimmtes Frequenzband in dem neu eingeschalteten Hörprogramm deutlich höher verstärkt wird als in dem alten Hörprogramm.In the automatic switching of the hearing program, it is favorable when fading from a first sound setting to a second sound setting. This has the advantage that the hearing aid wearer is not surprised by a high volume when a certain frequency band is amplified significantly higher in the newly activated hearing program than in the old hearing program.
Die vorliegende Erfindung wird nun anhand der beigefügten Zeichnung näher erläutert, die ein Blockschaltbild der erfindungsgemäßen Einstellung der Hörvorrichtung zeigt.The present invention will now be explained in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawing, which shows a block diagram of the adjustment of the hearing device according to the invention.
Das nachfolgend geschilderte Ausführungsbeispiel stellt eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung dar. Entsprechend dem in der Figur dargestellten Blockschaltbild erfolgt nach dem Einschalten des Hörgeräts bzw. dem Start ein automatisches Klassifizieren der aktuellen Hörsituation entsprechend Schritt S1 mit der Klassifikationseinrichtung des Hörgeräts. Diese Klassifikationsinformation nutzt das Hörgerät, um aus einem Speicher die der Klassifikationsinformation entsprechenden Klangeinstellung automatisch zu laden, wie dies in Schritt S2 angedeutet ist.The embodiment described below represents a preferred embodiment of the present invention. According to the block diagram shown in the figure, after switching on the hearing aid or the start, an automatic classification of the current hearing situation corresponding to step S1 with the classification device of the hearing aid. This classification information is used by the hearing device to automatically load from a memory the sound setting corresponding to the classification information, as indicated in step S2.
Das Hörgerätesystem verfügt nun über eine Einstelleinrichtung, mit der es möglich ist, während des täglichen Betriebs den Klang einzustellen. Im vorliegenden Beispiel ist die Einstelleinrichtung mit einer Fernbedienung realisiert. Der Hörgeräteträger nutzt also zur Klangeinstellung die Tasten auf der Fernbedienung. Diese sendet drahtlos Informationen über das Verstellen des Klangreglers zum Hörgerät. Im Hörgerät wurde die aktuelle Hörsituation mit Hilfe des Klassifikators entsprechend Schritt S1 bereits erfasst, so dass die Klangänderung der erkannten Klasse zugeordnet werden kann. Die neue Klangeinstellung wird sodann entsprechend Schritt S4 für die aktuelle Signalklasse in dem Speicher abgelegt.The hearing aid system now has a setting device with which it is possible to adjust the sound during daily operation. In the present example, the adjustment is realized with a remote control. The hearing aid wearer thus uses the buttons on the remote control for sound adjustment. This wirelessly transmits information about adjusting the tone control to the hearing aid. In the hearing aid, the current hearing situation was already detected with the aid of the classifier according to step S1, so that the sound change can be assigned to the recognized class. The new sound setting is then stored in memory according to step S4 for the current signal class.
Der Speicher des Hörgeräts enthält mehrere Klangeinstellungen für jede Signalklasse und für jedes Hörgeräteprogramm. Ändert sich die Hörsituation, so wird entsprechend S1 bis S4 automatisch die entsprechende Klangeinstellung aus dem Speicher abgerufen und eingestellt. Der Übergang der Klangeinstellung erfolgt durch langsames Überblenden.The memory of the hearing aid contains several sound settings for each signal class and for each hearing aid program. If the hearing situation changes, the corresponding sound setting is automatically retrieved from the memory and set according to S1 to S4. The transition of the sound adjustment is done by slow fading.
Um das Einstellen eines Mehrprogramm-Hörgeräts noch komfortabler zu gestalten, werden die Klangeinstellungen in geeigneter Weise zwischen den Hörprogrammen synchronisiert. D. h. eine Einstellung für Sprache in Ruhe in einem Automatikprogramm wird beispielsweise in ein festes Programm für ruhige Umgebung übertragen. Folglich muss der Hörgeräteträger nicht die gleiche Klangeinstellung in allen Hörprogrammen für ähnliche Hörsituationen durchführen.In order to make the setting of a multi-program hearing device even more comfortable, the sound settings are synchronized in a suitable manner between the hearing programs. Ie. For example, a silent language setting in an automatic program is translated into a fixed quiet environment program. Consequently, the hearing aid user does not have to perform the same sound setting in all hearing programs for similar listening situations.
Erfindungsgemäß ist somit gewährleistet, dass der Hörgeräteträger bequem den Klang seines Geräts nachregeln und auf die aktuelle Hörsituation anpassen kann. Das Hörgerät speichert dann diese Einstellungen automatisch, so dass der Hörgeräteträger die Einstellungen nach dem Um- oder Abschalten des Geräts nicht erneut vornehmen muss. Das Hörgerät merkt sich also stets die jeweilige Einstellung und befindet sich praktisch immer im Lernmodus. Selbstverständlich kann das Hörgerät mit der Option ausgestattet sein, den Lernmodus auch abzuschalten.The invention thus ensures that the hearing aid wearer can easily readjust the sound of his device and adapt it to the current hearing situation. The hearing aid then stores these settings automatically so that the hearing aid wearer does not have to make the settings again after switching the device on or off. The hearing aid thus always remembers the respective setting and is almost always in the learning mode. Of course, the hearing aid may be equipped with the option to also switch off the learning mode.
Erfindungsgemäß können somit Langzeit-Gewöhnungseffekte, sich ändernde typische akustische Umgebungen und sich ändernder Hörverlust vom Benutzer selbst in den Einstellungen berücksichtigt werden, ohne den Akustiker aufsuchen zu müssen.Thus, according to the invention, long-term habituation effects, changing typical acoustic environments and changing hearing loss can be taken into account by the user himself in the settings without having to visit the acoustician.
