本发明的最佳实施方式
实施例1,一种具有内置纯音信号发生器的自我验配助听器,包括助听器和外部软件两个部分。
助听器部分包括语音放大处理部分和纯音信号发生器模块部分。语音放大处理部分即数字信号处理系统,听力测试模块内置数字处理芯片。外部软件部分由听力测试软件、纯音信号发生器和编程软件组成。测试、编程是智能化的,采用数字信号处理系统,并配合电脑及手机中对应的App就可实现在任何地方(有网络的情况下)自我进行验配,无需外部设备、专业的验配师,极大的方便了听障人群及老年用户,简化了验配程序,实现了自我验配。
数字信号处理系统中,针对目标听障患者,在进行测试后,可得到相关的听力分析补偿图。听障患者无需通过验配师将传送的音波等,置于另一台设备上进行验配等操作。听障患者可直接佩戴助听器,在数字信号处理系统中提供的补偿形式,配合电脑及手机端对应的App软件的验配软件,可实现在任何地方(有网络的情况下)自我进行验配,并通过聆听体验模块体验补偿效果,从而避免外部测试设备参数的差异性。该发明测试、验配、助听器是采用同一助听器内部的喇叭,因此,该发明简化了验配程序,提高了听力测试验配的精准度。
其中,外部软件部分安装在电脑端或手机端内部对应的App或专门的验配盒中,外部软件部分的界面还包括有重测、保存和听见请点击等主要按钮。重测按钮,用户在使用时,可以根据自身验配的情况,或者感觉验配不理想,进行重新验配。
其中,通过有线或无线方式连接助听器,再通过听力测试软件,让助听器中的纯音信号发生器发出不同频率、不同增益的纯音信号,最后通过助听器中的喇叭发出声音,随之测试软件分别发出125、 250、 500、 750 、1K 、1.5K、 2K、 3K、 4K、 6K、 8K(Hz)的频率指令。该频率点可设置,每个频率点音量从20dB(可设置)开始,让用户自行确认,能否听到助听器里的纯音信号。若用户听不到纯音信号,则系统会在3-10秒(可设置)后自动增加3-5dB(可设置)音量。若用户能听到纯音信号,可点击确认键,则系统会自动记录某频率点的听阈值(频率与分贝的听阈坐标点)。若用户还是听不到纯音信号,则系统会继续自动增加3-5dB音量,直至其听见为止。
依此类推,其测试软件依此发出的125 250 500 750 1K 1.5K 2K 3K 4K 6K 8K(Hz)频率指令,达到用户可听到的范围,用户听到后,在软件界面上按确认键,系统会自动记录该频率点的听阈值。
测完规定的频率点后,系统会自动生成该用户的听力损失参数图(系统自动连接各听阈值而形成听力损失补偿图),该软件编程系统会自动根据该用户的听力损失参数图,集合编程系统中的验配公式,计算出一套适合该用户的相关参数,而后自动通过有线或无线的方式,改编助听器语音处理系统中的程序设置,外部软件部分通过有线或无线的方式,与具有内置纯音信号发生器的自我验配助听器连接。
其中,听力损失补偿图由坐标图表示,其X轴为频率,Y轴为分贝等组成。该发明适合所有听障人群,极大的方便了用户自己对助听器的验配。而且由于听力损失程度会发生变化,既可以不定期进行自我验配,也可以每隔半年重新进行自我验配。
其中,自我验配系统软件中,设置了纯音信号发生器,用于无内置纯音信号发生器的助听器的自我验配。所述系统中的纯音信号发生器通过手机耳机或助听器发出测试信号给用户,从而获得听力损失补偿图。自我验配系统会根据听力损失补偿图的数据,自动编写频率、分贝、拐点、压缩比等参数。
实施例2,与实施例1不同的是:内置听力测试模块,可以作为独立单元设计在数字语音处理芯片中,也可以作为独立单元设计在芯片外,但在助听器中,设计在助听器的内部,有助于减少占有空间,同时设计成独立单元位于助听器中,其采用同一助听器内部喇叭进行验配,简化了验配程序,避免助听器在收集相关数据时,造成频响曲线不吻合,提高听力测试验配的精准度。
实施例3,与实施例1及实施例2不同的是:纯音信号发生器模块也可以以纯软件的(算法)形式,内置在与具有内置纯音信号发生器的自我验配助听器配套的电脑端或手机端对应的App软件中。这便于使用者对听力测试模块的数据进行处理及储存,给听障人士进行听力监测,方便快速地记录在调试软件中。通过内置测听,可以快速精确地获得患者的听力图,通过有线或无线方式连接助听器。同时听障患者感觉自己的听力图可能存在较大误差时,可通过电脑端或手机端对应的App软件,进行自我测试,补充、验证或对数据进行编程,实现自我验配。
操作步骤:使用者通过电脑端及手机中对应的App的验配软件,在有网络的情况下,以有线或无线方式连接助听器。首先,通过听力测试软件,让助听器中的纯音信号发生器发出不同频率、不同增益的纯音信号,并通过助听器中的喇叭发声音,其次,测试软件分别发出对应的声音赫兹频率指令,用户能分别听到助听器里的纯音信号。如果用户听不到纯音信号,则系统会在相应的时间内自动增加音量,直至用户听到为止,用户听到后,可在软件界面上按确认键,系统会自动记录该频率点听阈值,最后,通过软件编程系统,计算出适合该用户的相关参数,之后自动通过有线或无线的方式,改写助听器语音处理系统中的程序设置。使用者如若感觉听力效果不好,可以按重测键按钮,进行重新测量,适配完成后,使用者在软件界面上,按听见请点击按键即可。下次使用时,直接打开开关即可,如果听力损失程度发生变化,则需要重新进行测验。
需要说明的是,在本文中,诸如第一和第二等之类的关系术语,仅仅用来将一个实体或者操作区分另一个实体或操作,而不一定要求或者暗示这些实体或操作之间存在任何这种实际的关系或者顺序。而且,术语“包括”、“包含”或者其任何其他变体,意在涵盖非排他性的包含,从而使得包括一系列要素的过程、方法、物品或者设备不仅包括那些要素,而且还包括没有明确列出的其他要素,或者是还包括为这种过程、方法、物品或者设备所固有的要素。
