- time constants are usually determined. These time constants are then defined for a platform and derived in the different products. Problems often arise when the user uses not only a hearing program, but several hearing programs. In this case, the learning time is reduced under the assumption that the duration of wear per day is constant, but distributed approximately equally over the different programs.

- the learning of programs that are on average very little used can be done relatively quickly, while more time is spent on learning in longer-term programs.
- the learning time for frequently used programs can be set at 60 hours, whereas the learning time for a less used program should be only 1 hour.
- a long learning time is e.g. unfavorable if a hearing aid wearer always makes short phone calls. Therefore, in this case the telephone program should be adapted as quickly as possible or the respective parameters should be learned as quickly as possible.
- rapid learning is accompanied by a loss of quality, this does not matter, since the program is used only little anyway.
- the setting of the method according to the invention preferably corresponds to an activation of a hearing program. This means that datalogging records how long a listening program is used. Consequently, as mentioned above, the adaptation can take place as a function of the useful life of a program, so that programs which have been used for a long time can be adapted very finely.
- the setting of the hearing device can also affect the volume or the sound. This can also adapt individual parameters are individually controlled depending on use.
- the parameter to be adapted may be a time constant or a determination time.
- filter algorithms e.g., noise algorithms
- filter algorithms can be finer or coarser adapted depending on the individual usage time.
- the parameter to be adapted is changed continuously. As a result, the hearing aid wearer or the user adaptation was less.

- This is a data logging, ie data is recorded together with time information.
- This time information can be explicitly recorded or the time information is implicitly included in the data so that it can be reconstructed.
- a corresponding hearing aid thus has a data logging unit that can record data.
- the recorded data is raw data r, which can be reproduced as needed.

- This time data (here duration of use and frequency of change per program) are fed to a further evaluation according to step S3.
- the useful lives T n and changing frequencies f n are used to determine the learning time t 1n .
- This means that learning times are determined for the individual usage behavior for each program. These learning times are used for learning according to step S4.
- step S1 performed in a recording and storage device.
- the temporal evaluations according to the steps S2 and S3 can be carried out in a correspondingly designed computer unit.
- the adaptation according to step S4 takes place in an adaptation device which uses the results of the calculation or evaluation device.

The term "hearing device" is understood to mean any sound-emitting device that can be worn in / on the ear or on the head, in particular a hearing device, a headset, headphones and the like.

Aus der Druckschrift
Moderne digitale Hörgeräte, wie das soeben geschilderte, lernen von ihrem Benutzer bevorzugte Einstellungen hinsichtlich Lautstärke und Klang. Das Lernen erfolgt in Abhängigkeit vom Eingangssignal.Modern digital hearing aids, such as the one just described, learn from their user preferred settings in terms of volume and sound. Learning takes place depending on the input signal.
Neben der Definition adäquater Schrittweiten gilt es, geeignete Zeitkonstanten zu definieren, damit einerseits so schnell gelernt wird, dass der Benutzer einen Vorteil durch den veränderten Algorithmus spürt, und andererseits jedoch so langsam gelernt wird, dass eine hinreichend große Anzahl gelernter Änderungen vorliegt, um die Wünsche des Nutzers sicher identifizieren zu können. Diese Wünsche des Nutzers betreffen nicht nur, wie erwähnt, die Lautstärke und den Klang, sondern auch beispielsweise ganze Hörprogramme.In addition to the definition of adequate step sizes, it is necessary to define suitable time constants, so that one learns so fast that the user feels an advantage through the modified algorithm, but on the other hand learns so slowly that there is a sufficiently large number of learned changes to the Wishes of the user to be able to identify with certainty. These wishes of the user not only affect, as mentioned, the volume and the sound, but also, for example, entire listening programs.
Für bestimmte Programme beziehungsweise Funktionen werden in der Regel Zeitkonstanten ermittelt. Diese Zeitkonstanten werden dann für eine Plattform definiert und in die unterschiedlichen Produkte abgeleitet. Probleme ergeben sich häufig dann, wenn der Benutzer nicht nur ein Hörprogramm, sondern mehrere Hörprogramme nutzt. In diesem Fall wird die Lernzeit unter der Annahme reduziert, dass die Tragedauer je Tag konstant ist, sich jedoch über die unterschiedlichen Programme in etwa gleich verteilt. Diese Annahme muss jedoch nicht notwendigerweise der individuellen Nutzung entsprechen, so dass das Gerät in einzelnen Programmen entweder zu schnell oder zu langsam lernt.For certain programs or functions, time constants are usually determined. These time constants are then defined for a platform and derived in the different products. Problems often arise when the user uses not only a hearing program, but several hearing programs. In this case, the learning time is reduced under the assumption that the duration of wear per day is constant, but distributed approximately equally over the different programs. However, this assumption does not necessarily correspond to individual usage, so the device either learns too fast or too slowly in individual programs.
Auf dieses Problem wurde bislang nicht näher eingegangen. Vielmehr werden die Zeitkonstanten generell vordefiniert und anhand der Anzahl der Programme oder deren fiktiver Nutzungsdauer konfiguriert (z.B. Telefonieren).This problem has not been discussed in detail so far. Rather, the time constants are generally predefined and configured based on the number of programs or their fictitious service life (e.g., telephoning).
Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht somit darin, eine Hörvorrichtung und insbesondere ein Hörgerät besser an die individuelle Nutzung eines Trägers der Hörvorrichtung anzupassen.The object of the present invention is therefore to better adapt a hearing device and in particular a hearing device to the individual use of a wearer of the hearing device.
Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe gelöst durch ein Verfahren zum Anpassen einer Hörvorrichtung, Aufzeichnen von Daten betreffend mindestens eine Einstellung der Hörvorrichtung zusammen mit einer direkten oder indirekten Zeitinformation, automatisches Feststellen einer Zeitdauer, in der die mindestens eine Einstellung aktiviert war/ist, und automatisches Adaptieren mindestens eines Parameters der Hörvorrichtung in Abhängigkeit von der festgestellten Zeitdauer und der mindestens einen Einstellung.According to the invention, this object is achieved by a method for adapting a hearing device, recording data relating to at least one setting of the hearing device together with direct or indirect time information, automatically determining a time period in which the at least one setting was / is activated, and automatically adapting at least a parameter of the hearing device as a function of the determined time duration and the at least one setting.
Darüber hinaus wird erfindungsgemäß bereitgestellt eine Hörvorrichtung, umfassend eine Datalogging-Einrichtung zum Aufzeichnen von Daten betreffend mindestens eine Einstellung der Hörvorrichtung zusammen mit einer direkten oder indirekten Zeitinformation, eine Auswerteeinrichtung zum automatischen Feststellen einer Zeitdauer, in der die mindestens eine Einstellung aktiviert war/ist, und eine Adaptionseinrichtung zum automatischen Adaptieren mindestens eines Parameters der Hörvorrichtung in Abhängigkeit von der festgestellten Zeitdauer und der mindestens einen Einstellung.Moreover, according to the invention a hearing device is provided, comprising a data logging device for recording data relating to at least one setting of the hearing device together with direct or indirect time information, an evaluation device for automatically determining a time period in which the at least one setting was activated, and an adaptation device for automatically adapting at least one parameter of the hearing device as a function of the determined duration and the at least one setting.
In vorteilhafter Weise ist es damit möglich, die individuelle Nutzungsdauer von Einstellungen individuell zu erfassen und das Adaptieren beziehungsweise Lernen der Hörvorrichtung an die individuellen Nutzungsdauern anzupassen. Damit kann beispielsweise das Lernen von Programmen, die im Schnitt nur sehr wenig benutzt werden, verhältnismäßig rasch erfolgen, während für das Lernen bei länger genutzten Programmen mehr Zeit veranschlagt wird. In einem konkreten Beispiel kann damit die Lernzeit für häufig genutzte Programme beispielsweise auf 60h festgelegt werden, wohingegen die Lernzeit bei einem wenig genutzten Programm nur 1 Stunde betragen soll. Eine lange Lernzeit ist z.B. ungünstig, wenn ein Hörgeräteträger stets nur kurze Telefonate führt. Daher sollte in diesem Fall das Telefonprogramm möglichst rasch adaptiert beziehungsweise die jeweiligen Parameter möglichst rasch gelernt werden. Mit dem raschen Lernen geht zwar ein Qualitätsverlust einher, dieser fällt jedoch nicht ins Gewicht, da das jeweilige Programm ohnehin nur wenig genutzt wird.Advantageously, it is thus possible to individually record the individual service life of settings and to adapt the adaptation or learning of the hearing device to the individual service lives. Thus, for example, the learning of programs that are on average very little used, can be done relatively quickly, while more time is spent on learning in longer-term programs. In a concrete example, for example, the learning time for frequently used programs can be set at 60 hours, whereas the learning time for a less used program should be only 1 hour. A long learning time is e.g. unfavorable if a hearing aid wearer always makes short phone calls. Therefore, in this case the telephone program should be adapted as quickly as possible or the respective parameters should be learned as quickly as possible. Although rapid learning is accompanied by a loss of quality, this does not matter, since the program is used only little anyway.
Vorzugsweise entspricht die Einstellung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens einer Aktivierung eines Hörprogramms. Dies bedeutet, dass bei dem Datalogging aufgezeichnet wird, wie lange ein Hörprogramm genutzt wird. Folglich kann dann wie erwähnt das Adaptieren in Abhängigkeit von der Nutzungsdauer eines Programms erfolgen, so dass lange genutzte Programme sehr fein adaptiert werden können.The setting of the method according to the invention preferably corresponds to an activation of a hearing program. This means that datalogging records how long a listening program is used. Consequently, as mentioned above, the adaptation can take place as a function of the useful life of a program, so that programs which have been used for a long time can be adapted very finely.
Die Einstellung der Hörvorrichtung kann aber auch die Lautstärke oder den Klang betreffen. Damit kann auch das Adaptieren einzelner Parameter individuell nutzungsabhängig gesteuert werden.However, the setting of the hearing device can also affect the volume or the sound. This can also adapt individual parameters are individually controlled depending on use.
Darüber hinaus kann der zu adaptierende Parameter eine Zeitkonstante oder eine Ermittelungszeit sein. Damit können beispielsweise Filteralgorithmen (z.B. Störgeräuschalgorithmen) je nach individueller Nutzungsdauer feiner oder gröber adaptiert werden.In addition, the parameter to be adapted may be a time constant or a determination time. Thus, for example, filter algorithms (e.g., noise algorithms) can be finer or coarser adapted depending on the individual usage time.
Darüber hinaus ist es vorteilhaft, wenn der zu adaptierende Parameter kontinuierlich verändert wird. Dadurch nimmt der Hörgeräteträger beziehungsweise der Nutzer die Adaption weniger war.Moreover, it is advantageous if the parameter to be adapted is changed continuously. As a result, the hearing aid wearer or the user adaptation was less.

Die nachfolgend näher geschilderten Ausführungsbeispiele stellen bevorzugte Ausführungsformen der Erfindung dar.The embodiments described in more detail below represent preferred embodiments of the invention.
Gemäß dem Beispiel von
In Schritt S2 werden die Rohdaten r zeitlich ausgewertet. Die zeitliche Auswertung erfolgt hier in Abhängigkeit von n Programmen. So resultieren aus der zeitlichen Auswertung zum einen die Nutzungsdauern Tn der einzelnen Programme. Zum anderen können bei der zeitlichen Auswertung Häufigkeiten fn ermittelt werden, die angeben, wie häufig jedes Programm geändert wurde.In step S2, the raw data r is evaluated in time. The temporal evaluation takes place here in dependence on n programs. Thus, the temporal evaluation results in the useful lives T n of the individual programs. On the other hand, in the temporal evaluation frequencies f n can be determined, which indicate how frequently each program has been changed.
Diese Zeitdaten (hier Nutzungsdauer und Wechselhäufigkeit je Programm) werden einer weiteren Auswertung gemäß Schritt S3 zugeführt. Dort werden die Nutzungsdauern Tn und Wechselhäufigkeiten fn zur Ermittlung von Lernzeit t1n herangezogen. Dies bedeutet, dass zu dem individuellen Nutzungsverhalten für jedes Programm Lernzeiten ermittelt werden. Diese Lernzeiten werden für ein Lernen gemäß Schritt S4 verwendet.This time data (here duration of use and frequency of change per program) are fed to a further evaluation according to step S3. There, the useful lives T n and changing frequencies f n are used to determine the learning time t 1n . This means that learning times are determined for the individual usage behavior for each program. These learning times are used for learning according to step S4.
Bei einem Hörgerät wird der Schritt S1, wie oben bereits angedeutet wurde, in einem Aufzeichnungs- und Speichergerät durchgeführt. Die zeitlichen Auswertungen gemäß den Schritten S2 und S3 können in einer entsprechend ausgelegten Rechnereinheit durchgeführt werden. Das Adaptieren gemäß Schritt S4 erfolgt in einer Adaptionseinrichtung, die die Ergebnisse der Rechen- beziehungsweise Auswerteeinrichtung nutzt.In a hearing aid, the step S1, as already indicated above, performed in a recording and storage device. The temporal evaluations according to the steps S2 and S3 can be carried out in a correspondingly designed computer unit. The adaptation according to step S4 takes place in an adaptation device which uses the results of the calculation or evaluation device.
Zusammenfassend kann also festgestellt werden, dass mit dem oben dargestellten Verfahren eine Zeitkonstante beziehungsweise eine Mittelungszeit gemäß der individuellen Nutzung der unterschiedlichen Programme adaptiert werden kann. Die hierzu notwendige Information über die Nutzungsdauer der einzelnen Programme ist dem Gerät aus dem Datalogging bekannt. Die ermittelte Nutzungsdauer je Programm wird genutzt, um adaptiv und gegebenenfalls kontinuierlich eine geeignete Zeitkonstante für die Lernfunktion abzuleiten.In summary, it can thus be stated that with the method described above, a time constant or an averaging time can be adapted according to the individual use of the different programs. The necessary information about the useful life of the individual programs is known to the device from the Datalogging. The determined service life per program is used to adaptively and possibly continuously derive a suitable time constant for the learning function.
Für den Hörgeräteträger ergibt sich damit der Vorteil, dass die Trainingsdauer sich an seiner individuellen Nutzung orientiert. Dies kann auch dann gewährleistet werden, wenn sich die Präferenzen für die hinterlegten Hörprogramme ändern.For the hearing aid wearer, this results in the advantage that the training duration is based on its individual use. This can be ensured even if the preferences for the stored listening programs change.
