Definitions

  • the invention relates to hearing aids, more specifically to hearing aids including means for receiving non-audio input signals.
  • hearing aids which beside the transducers for receiving an audio input include means for receiving a non-audio input signal, e.g. a RF receiver, a telecoil for receiving magnetically transmitted signals, there is a possibility of loosing the information transmitted and received as a non-audio signal due to disturbance from the surrounding audio environment.
  • a non-audio input signal e.g. a RF receiver
  • a telecoil for receiving magnetically transmitted signals
  • Hearing aids including noise reduction are well known.
  • the noise reduction is hereby implemented in a way that enables the reduction of unwanted audio signal parts in the audio signal that is processed in the hearing aid, i.e. in the audio signal that is being processed in the hearing aid, y a spectral subtraction.
  • a requirement for performing such noise or audio signal reduction is that the unwanted signal propagates through the hearing aid signal path.
  • the hearing aid signal path which normally includes a microphone, a processor and a receiver.
  • the objective of the present invention is therefore to provide a hearing aid, which provides noise reduction in situations where the previously known noise reduction will not provide a satisfactory result.
  • the hearing aid further comprises an internal input transducer for obtaining a sound signal within an ear canal, the internal input transducer being connected to the signal path.
  • switching means are advantageously provided for switching to a state where the compensation signal is generated.
  • the switching means are advantageously adapted for automatically generating the compensation signal upon receiving the additional input.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic drawing showing the principles of the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a schematic drawing showing the principles of a second embodiment of the invention. DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
  • FIG. 1 a schematic representation of a hearing aid appears featuring the noise cancellation according to the invention.
  • the hearing aid comprises a signal path with one or more external input transducers 1-N1, a signal processor performing compensation for hearing loss as well as the Noise cancellation part (ANC) and one or more output transducers 1-N3.
  • the signal path comprises one or more further input transducers 1-N2 placed internally, i.e. facing the interior of the ear canal or being integrated into the receiver, when the hearing aid is mounted.
  • the internal input transducer(s) or error microphone(s) provides the signal present in the ear canal and feeds this to the signal processor, which generates a error signal capable of adjusting the attenuation signal and hence at least partly attenuate the undesired signal present in the ear canal.
  • One or more separate output transducers are provided for the output of the compensating signal, wheer these correspond to those used for the normal hearing aid function.
  • the compensation signal may be based on the input to the external input transducers 1-N1, which input correspond to the signal that is undesirable and where the compensation signal may be established based on this, e.g by changing the phase of this and further adjusting this based on the actual conditions present.
  • the hearing aid comprises further electrical input means 1-N4, e.g. a wireless receiver or a direct audio input receiver, which may be of any kind, e.g. a telecoil receiver or a radio frequency receiver. Means are preferably provided for attenuating the external input transducer signal, or switching this off.
  • electrical input means 1-N4 e.g. a wireless receiver or a direct audio input receiver, which may be of any kind, e.g. a telecoil receiver or a radio frequency receiver.
  • Means are preferably provided for attenuating the external input transducer signal, or switching this off.
  • FIG. 2 a further embodiment appears where additional communication is established between the input and the hearing loss compensation and between the ANC and the hearing loss compensation.
