Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for Trainie ⁇ ren of a person's speech understanding that carries a Hörvorrich ⁇ tung, person through the bearing by acoustically presenting a speech inventory ⁇ part and identifying the voice notification acoustically presented to the hearing apparatus standing piece.
- the present invention relates to a Vorrich ⁇ device for automatically training the speech understanding of a person wearing a hearing, with a playback ⁇ device for the acoustic presentation of a first Pullbe- part and an interface device for inputting an identifier for identifying the acoustically presented language component by the person wearing the hearing device.
- a hearing device here means any sound-emitting device which can be worn in or on the ear, in particular a hearing device, a headset, headphones, loudspeakers and the like.
- Hearing aids are portable hearing aids that are used to care for the hearing impaired.
- different types of hearing aids such as behind-the-ear hearing aids (BTE), hearing aid with external receiver (RIC: receiver in the canal) and in-the-ear hearing aids (IDO), e.g. Concha hearing aids or canal hearing aids (ITE, CIC).
- BTE behind-the-ear hearing aids
- RIC hearing aid with external receiver
- IDO in-the-ear hearing aids
- ITE canal hearing aids
- the hearing aids listed by way of example are worn on the outer ear or in the ear canal.
- bone conduction hearing aids, implantable or vibrotactile hearing aids are also available on the market. The stimulation of the damaged hearing takes place either mechanically or electrically.
- Hearing aids have in principle as essential components an input transducer, an amplifier and an output transducer.
- the input transducer is usually a sound catcher, z. As a microphone, and / or an electromagnetic receiver, for. B. an induction coil.
- the output transducer is usually used as an electroacoustic transducer, z. As miniature speaker, or as an electromechanical transducer, z. B. bone conduction, implemented.
- the amplifier is usually integrated in a signal processing unit. This basic structure is shown in FIG. 1 using the example of a behind-the-ear hearing device. In a hearing aid housing 1 for carrying behind the ear, one or more microphones 2 for receiving the sound from the environment are installed.
- a signal ⁇ processing unit 3 which is also integrated into the hearing aid housing 1 processes the microphone signals and ver ⁇ strengthens them.
- the output signal of the signal processing unit 3 is transmitted to a loudspeaker or earpiece 4, which outputs an acoustic signal.
- the sound is optionally, for the wearer's eardrum übertra ⁇ gene via a sound tube which is fixed with a otoplasty in the auditory canal.
- the energy supply of the hearing aid and in particular the signal processing unit 3 by a likewise integrated into the hearing aid housing 1 battery 5.
- the speech intelligibility plays an out ⁇ dominant role in hearing aids.
- the sound is changed.
- a frequency compression like a dynamic compression (compression of the input level range to the Trustpegelbe ⁇ rich), a noise reduction and the like.
- voice signals are also changed, which ultimately makes them sound different.
- the speech intelligibility of a subject worsens due to his hearing loss. This can be demonstrated, for example, by speech audiograms.
- the object of the present invention is to improve speech understanding through targeted training and to perform this training as automated as possible.
- this object is achieved by a method for automatically training the speech comprehension of a person wearing a hearing device
- the invention provides a device for automatically training the speech comprehension of a person wearing a hearing device
- interface means for inputting an identifier (e.g., acoustic response or manual input) for
- control means which controls the reproducing device and the interface device that akusti ⁇ specific performance of the speech component is automatically changed and the steps a) and b) are repeated with the change in performance when the identification is incorrect, repeatedly until a predetermined maximum is re ⁇ holungsanress reached, and a second speech inventory ⁇ part is presented, when identifying the first language constituent correct or the number of false identifications of the first speech component is one greater than the maximum number of repetitions.
- Each log atom can consist of several phonemes, where a phoneme represents an abstract class of all sounds that have the same meaning-discriminating function in a spoken language.
- a number of Manual to d) is predetermined, and the steps a) to d) be repeated as often as ⁇ until all the voice components are at least once Darge ⁇ offered. That way, in a training session a fixed set of logatomes or words are trained.
- the voice component may be presented with greater emphasis than the first performance.
- the speech component in repeating the speech component may be presented to the previous performance with a different voice or background noise.
- a hearing aid user can be prepared for the different natural situations, for example when its call partner has been said difference ⁇ Lich articulate or if on the one hand a male voice and a female voice on the other hand is presented to him.
- the language component may be a logatom and at its last repetition a word in which the logatom is integrated.
- the Loga ⁇ tom is in a word, understanding the Logatoms is simplified because it is perceived in context.
- identifying the voice component rendered altered by the hearing device may be performed by the person having a graphical user interface.
- the person or the subject must then select "multiple choice test" a writing presented several variants only in accordance with a. This what is understood can be differentiated exact circumstances. Be at a fal ⁇ rule identification
- the proffered and of the person specified language component acoustically and / or optically and ⁇ deriller. Due to the acoustic playback of both variants the person immediately gets an audible or auditory comparison of the heard and the reproduced speech component. This learning is simplified. This can even through the visual reproduction of the Both variants are supported.
- the person always receives the voice component at a constant volume from the hearing device.
- FIG. 1 shows the basic structure of a hearing aid according to the
- FIG. 3 shows a schematic diagram for determining a erfindungsge ⁇ MAESSING training process.
- FIG. 2 the course of a possible variant for training speech understanding is shown symbolically.
- One person undergoes training or testing. It receives voice components from a voice output device 11 (eg loudspeakers in a room or headphones), in particular logos. me 12, presented.
- a voice output device 11 eg loudspeakers in a room or headphones
- logos. me 12 presented.
- the logatom 12 is picked up by the hearing device or the hearing aid 13, which carries the person 10, and amplified specifically for the hearing impairment of the person. In this case, a corresponding frequency compression, dynamic compression, noise reduction or the like.
- the hearing aid 13 acoustically outputs an altered logatom 14. This altered logatom 14 reaches the hearing of the person 10 as a modified acoustic performance.
- the hearing aid wearer ie the person 10, attempts to understand the acoustically altered logatom 14 presented to him verbally. He is a graphical user interface 15 available. For example, various solutions are presented to the person 10 on this graphical user interface 15. Several logatoms will show up as Vanal ⁇ ternatives writing. The choice of answer alternatives may be based on phonetic similarity or other criteria as appropriate. She then chooses the one of the recorded logatoms that she thinks she has understood. The result of the selection by the person 10 may, for example be held in a Verwechs ⁇ lung matrix sixteenth In it, the presented logatomes are represented opposite to the recognized logatomes. As the dashed arrow 17 indicates in Figure 2, the test can be repeated unchanged or changed. In particular ⁇ sondere other logatoms or the same logatoms can be presented in a different way in the repetition.
- the intelligibility of speech training is, as indicated above, preferably implemented on a computer with graphical Benut ⁇ cut point. It can be developed for example in ei ⁇ ner MATLAB environment.
- the implemented test or training method can be implemented in n (preferably four) training levels with acoustic feedback (confirmation or notification of an error) be.
- acoustic feedback confirmation or notification of an error
- the volunteers or the person is a Logatom or word as sound as dargebo ⁇ th.
- the person is asked to choose one answer among five eg visually presented alternatives. If the person gives the correct answer, the sound example of how ⁇ is derholt and a "correct" message is shown as feedback.
- the person may be the correct answer be repeated if it has, for example, only guess at the answer.
- the person Because of the error, the person has to go through the second training stage, where the same sound example as in the previous stage is presented. However, the performance is in a different difficulty mode. For example, understanding is facilitated by speech reproduction with clear speech or overemphasis. For training purposes, the emphasis can also be reduced.
- the person After playing the sound example, the person has to choose one of eg five alternatives as his answer. If the person chooses the correct answer, the sound example (Logatom) is repeated, and it will appear as a return ⁇ coupling or issued a "correct" message. The person may repeat as desired the correct answer so often. From here, the person goes to the next sound example as in the first training stage.
- n training levels are provided. If the person does not understand the sound example in the nth training step (nth repetition) (nth false identification), it is registered in a test protocol. At the end of the training, all sound examples that were not understood in all n training levels can be tested or trained again in n training levels.
- the training process (training mode) can be performed with increasing, decreasing or constant difficulty level. Different difficulty modes are, for example, a female voice, a male voice, a clear voice of a male voice, a clear voice of a female voice, an additional word description, noise reduction, etc.
- test or training can be performed at rest or with different background sounds (static or modulated, depending on the purpose of the test).
- a training sequence can be determined, for example, by an acoustician.
- the acoustician can specify different parameters for the training procedure. To ⁇ closest he chooses, for example, 21. This example, a VCV or CVC-type or both (vowel-consonant-vowel or consonant-vowel-consonant) the Phonemtyp. He can also specify a particular vowel 22 for the selected phoneme type.
- the training consists of four stages Sl to S4, as in the previous example. At each stage, the acoustician has the opportunity to adjust or tune the difficulty of the performance (23). In this background ⁇ noise can be simulated in different listening situations, for example. Furthermore, the acoustician, for example, the voice source
- Configure 25 for the exerciser For this acti ⁇ fourth the acoustician for example, which are the remaining, yet to be trained logatoms or words Toggle display. In addition, he can set whether the feedback 25 should be purely visual or audible. He can also specify whether correct answers are marked in the overall evaluation. Other process parameters can also be defined in this way.
- darge ⁇ represents, with which the test can be equipped.
- the test is not adaptive, but performed at a constant volume level. This allows the person to focus on learning the processed speech signal without having to adjust or learn the volume level as well.
- the language has namely acoustic characteristics (spectral changes) that are to learn inde ⁇ pending on the volume changes (which must also be learned).
- the learning effect increases when the two aspects are separated.
- repetition is already a way of learning.
- the feedback is automatic after an error and the person can repeat the language example. In addition to the repetition itself, there are n successive stages of learning where you can choose whether you want a simple repetition or a change in the difficulty mode of the stimulus.
- test options are determined in a further embodiment in advance independently of the test procedure and stored in a settings file.
- the test can be carried out, for example, in a clinical study without the tester knowing the training settings (blind study).
- the training settings can be prepared in advance, and they do not have to be created during the test, as is the case with most currently available test equipment.
- neither the tester nor the hearing impaired burden with the test procedure are determined in a further embodiment in advance independently of the test procedure and stored in a settings file.
- the test or training can be documented with a result log. This includes (the logatoms who had to learn the most difficult), for example, the percentage of all ⁇ set-understood parts of speech (logatoms) and the Ziellogatome.
- the protocol may also include a common confusion matrix with a juxtaposition of presented and detected sounds.
- the results of the test can be an indicator of the extent to which the hearing aid has improved speech intelligibility.
- the result of the test over it ⁇ out can also be an indicator of the Be a training success. This may reduce the number of tests during a training session.
- the individual training levels can be performed with and without additional noise.
- a direct comparison of the results can be achieved (speech intelligibility improvement in noise compared with improved speech intelligibility at rest).
- this comparison allows a speech intelligibility test of phonemes that are very sensitive to noise (target noise phenomens).
