Definitions
- the present invention relates to a hearing aid with a source separation device for receiving a mixed signal from a plurality of sound sources and for generating a plurality of source-specific reception signals therefrom.
- a key issue for hearing aid users is understanding speech in an environment with multiple acoustic sources. Such a situation arises, for example, in a celebration in which many guests talk at the same time and with about the same volume. This problem is therefore referred to as the so-called cocktail party problem.
- One way to improve speech intelligibility is to use a directional microphone.
- the hearing aid wearer has to look in the direction from which he prefers to receive sound.
- the disadvantage of this solution is that the head must not be turned off from the source. There is thus a lack of flexibility.
- BSS blind source separation
- a hearing aid which has a plurality of microphones, and which is able to record the signals of several sound sources depending on the direction. Depending on the angle of incidence, the strongest signals can be determined. One or more of these signals are then selected and processed into an output signal.
- EP 1 538 874 A2 a hearing device with directional signal processing. It has a direction detection device for detecting a direction from which a sound signal from a sound source arrives, and a signal processing device for processing the incoming sound signal as a function of the detected direction.
- a hearing aid wearer With the aid of a signal generator and a handset, a hearing aid wearer can be informed of the type and direction of a sound that would otherwise be so strongly attenuated by the noise suppression that the sound would no longer be perceptible to him.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to improve the perceptibility of a desired source for the user of a hearing aid.
- a hearing aid with a source separation device for receiving at least one mixed signal from a plurality of sound sources and generating a plurality of source-specific received signals therefrom, and a presentation device for presenting each of a corresponding output signal to each of the plurality of receive signals and a selector for selecting one of the plurality of receive signals by a user for further processing.
- a source separation device for receiving at least one mixed signal from a plurality of sound sources and generating a plurality of source-specific received signals therefrom
- a presentation device for presenting each of a corresponding output signal to each of the plurality of receive signals and a selector for selecting one of the plurality of receive signals by a user for further processing.
- angle information about a reception angle is provided and presented to each of the plurality of reception signals. Based on the angle information, the user can identify the desired source more quickly.
- the plurality of output signals are then dependent on the associated reception angles presented by the presentation device. This makes it easier for the user to orient themselves, because, for example, the
- the invention is based on the idea that a hearing device can not automatically be clarified after a separation of the sources, which of them should preferably be presented.
- the hearing device wearer can now according to the invention switch to one of the channels provided in order to be able to listen to the corresponding source.
- the selection device is preferably in wireless communication with the presentation device.
- the hearing device may have a hearing device remote control, the selection device being integrated into the hearing device remote control is.
- the hearing aid remote control With the hearing aid remote control, a selection of a source is possible in a comfortable way.
- the hearing device may comprise a housing, wherein the selector means a knock on the housing as a dialing signal is registered.
- the selector means a knock on the housing as a dialing signal is registered.
- the separate sources can be presented separately one after the other.
- the successive presentation brings the advantage to the user that he gets all the sources offered without having to be actively involved, especially without eye contact with a switching unit.
- the output signals from the presentation device can be presented in a predefined time sequence. In this way, the user can be spared manual switching operations.
- a further preferred embodiment consists in that the selection device has a display unit on which sound sources can be displayed graphically as a function of the respective reception angles. Due to the graphical representation, some users can orient themselves better and faster.
- the source separation device can automatically register an alignment of the hearing device with one of the sound sources as a selection signal on the basis of the provided angle information. This requires no special operating element for manual operation on the hearing device.
- the hearing device If no angle information is provided by the source separation device, then it is necessary for the hearing device to have a directional microphone, so that an alignment of the hearing device with one of the sound sources for the selection device is automatically registered as a selection signal can. Also in this case, the user is released from manual operation.
- the hearing aid according to the invention shown in FIG has a plurality of input-side microphones M1, M2, ..., Mn.
- Each of the microphone signals consists of a mixed signal, which is caused by several signal sources.
- a BSS unit connected to the microphones performs automatic source separation.
- the BSS unit provides source specific output signals Q1, Q2, ..., Qm.
- a demultiplexer DM connected downstream of the BSS unit is used to select one of the output signals Q1 to Qm, each of which preferably contains the switching signal of one of the sound sources.
- the output signal of the demultiplexer DM is fed to a conventional signal processing unit SV. Its output signal in turn is fed to a loudspeaker L.
- the demultiplexer DM is controlled by a control device S1 and / or S2. These control devices serve both as a presentation device, ie for the consecutive presentation of each source signal Q1 to Qm, as well as a selection device for selecting a desired source signal on the basis of a successive presentation of the individual signals.
- a control unit S1 which has one or more keys.
- the demultiplexer DM is controlled by a control unit S2, which has a display.
- the recognized sources are shown on the display.
- angle information relating to an angle is also displayed graphically or numerically. With this graphical representation, the hearing aid wearer can better visualize the different sources, and by making comparisons with the real sources, he can more easily make a choice.
- other control interfaces can also be used as the control unit.
- the source selection should therefore be able to be performed manually by the hearing aid wearer by means of an operator interface or an operator control device.
- an operating device for example, an external device in question, such. B. the hearing aid remote control or extended to this operating function mobile device, a corresponding portable computer or the hearing aid itself.
- the desired source is selected by the hearing aid wearer by preferring each source from the hearing aid (s) successively, i. H. with increased level, is presented.
- the hearing aid wearer acknowledges the desired source by the operating device. In the simplest case, switching from one to the next source by pressing a button. For example, the further switching by pressing a button or knocking the hearing aid, if this is used as an operating device.
- the sources in the selection process can be presented sequentially sorted in a predetermined angular direction.
- the angular direction may be set clockwise or counterclockwise. But it can also be a switching of the angular direction allows to better meet the needs of the user.
- the operating device has a display function, so that the positions of the found sources can be visualized. If a touch screen is used, the selection can be made directly via the screen. However, this requires that the position information of the sources be transferred to the HMI device beforehand.
- the desired source may also be selected by the wearer of the hearing aid or hearing device looking in the direction of the desired source.
- the control of the demultiplexer is performed directly by the BSS unit.
- the BSS unit must be informed by pressing a button, for example, that the desired source, which is now in the 0 ° direction, should be selected.
- the dialing process can be fully automated by automatically selecting a source when it is viewed for more than a predetermined amount of time (eg, 4 seconds) during its preferred performance.
- the hearing aid wearer looks in the direction of the source of interest (0 ° azimuth direction) for selecting a source of interest.
- a highly selective directional microphone works simultaneously in the hearing aid, which receives only sound from a very narrow angle range around the 0 ° direction.
- Sound is to be processed as useful sound.
- the useful source defined via the viewing direction is automatically selected, for example, by correlation analysis and preferably presented to the hearing device wearer. Even after this "learning process", the source no longer has to be viewed constantly.
