Definitions

  • Most hearing devices are usually not carried (i.e. worn) at night for several reasons such as: needs to be charged at night due to a use of battery and/or a rechargeable duration; not enough audiological comfort due to e.g. risk of feedbacks for side sleepers when the hearing device is on the pillow side; not enough wearing comfort, particularly when the hearing device is on the pillow side of a side sleeper etc.
  • the emergency signal may, for example, be a waking-up signal perceivable by the hearing device user, such as a vibrational and/or sound signal generated by the hearing device or a further connected device.
  • the emergency signal transmitted to an emergency service may e.g. include automatically starting an emergency call by a connected user device, such as a smartphone.
  • a mobile app on a smartphone may show resulting sleep patterns, or other inferred sleep-related behaviors and metrics, such as the evolution of heart rate data, to a user.
  • the hearing device is a binaurally fitted hearing device, i.e. a left hearing device for the left ear or a right hearing device for the right ear, wherein the two hearing devices are adapted for exchanging data wirelessly, e.g. via Bluetooth, so as to constitute a binaural hearing system.
  • a binaurally fitted hearing device i.e. a left hearing device for the left ear or a right hearing device for the right ear
  • the two hearing devices are adapted for exchanging data wirelessly, e.g. via Bluetooth, so as to constitute a binaural hearing system.
  • an audio signal received and/or processed by the left hearing device and/or sensor data collected by its sensors may be transmitted to the right hearing device, and vice versa.
  • the customer sleep mode includes a monaural mode of the hearing device.
  • the monaural mode enables it to work without communication with the second hearing device.
  • the monaural mode may, for instance, be optionally selectable by the user to be automatically activated whenever the hearing device is switched to the customer sleep mode, to allow the user to take off the second hearing device.
  • the monaural mode for binaurally fitted hearing devices may be useful, e.g. when the user only wants to use the side which is opposite to the pillow in case of a side sleeper.
  • This embodiment for instance, enables side sleepers to choose a side opposite the pillow flexibly and to wear the hearing device in a monaural mode on this side. Also, this allows for re-charging the other hearing device of the binaural system at night.
  • the hearing device is configured for monitoring the environment, e.g. for detecting and processing sound signals, measuring environmental temperature, lighting conditions etc.
  • the hearing device when the hearing device is in the customer sleep mode, its functionality of monitoring the environment is swapped out into a connected user device provided within a predetermined distance from the hearing device user, such as a smartphone located in the same room, in order to save energy of the hearing device.
  • the hearing device 12 comprises a part 15 behind the ear and a part 16 to be put in the ear channel of the user.
  • the part 15 and the part 16 are connected by a tube 18.
  • a microphone 20 may acquire environmental sound of the user and may generate a sound signal
  • the sound processor 22 may amplify the sound signal
  • the sound output device 24 may generate sound that is guided through the tube 18 and the in-the-ear part 16 into the ear channel of the user.
  • the hearing device 12 further comprises one or several biometric sensors 48 (only schematically indicated in Fig. 1 ), such as a pulse oximetry sensor, temperature sensor, EEG-sensor, EOG-sensor, EMG-sensor, PPG sensor, accelerometer and/or any other kind of biometric sensors configured to gather health data of the hearing device user while he/she is carrying the hearing device 12.
  • biometric sensors 48 may, for example, communicate by wired or wireless communication with the processor 26 of the hearing device 12.
