Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for adapting a Hearing aid to a current acoustic environment according to the preamble of claim 1 and a Hearing aid system according to the preamble of claim 8.
  • a method and a hearing aid system of this type are out WO-A-01/20965 or the corresponding US-A-2002/0037087 known.
  • Hearing aid of the hearing aid system the current acoustic Surrounding situation identified and based on this identified the corresponding environmental situation Hearing program, i.e. the corresponding one, in the hearing aid saved parameter set, automatically set.
  • an input unit e.g. a switch on the hearing aid or a remote control, available from the Hearing aid wearer can be operated.
  • hearing aids are also known in which the Hearing aid wearer the selection of the appropriate hearing program from a number of stored in the hearing aid Hearing programs must be carried out manually, namely via a Remote control or via a switch on the hearing aid. For many users is switching between different ones Hearing programs, however, bothersome or difficult, especially when there are many hearing programs to choose from.
  • the present invention is based on the object a method or a hearing aid system of the beginning to create the type mentioned, in which the respective hearing program belonging to the acoustic environment is automatically set, but it does Hearing aid wearer allowed in certain situations without great effort his personal listening desire contribute.
  • this object is achieved with a method with the features of claim 1 and with one Hearing aid system with the features of claim 8 solved.
  • the hearing aid wearer can thus influence the each automatically in the hearing aid of the hearing aid system set hearing program, i.e. to the latter belonging parameter set by using a simple the input part to be operated the parameters of this Parameter set according to predetermined, in the hearing aid stored rules adjusted.
  • the parameters of the set Parameter set based on a set nominal value within a specified control range given rules in one of two opposed directions.
  • the shown in Fig. 1 as a block diagram Hearing aid system includes a hearing aid 1 that electroacoustic transducer, namely at least one Microphone, but preferably as shown two microphones 2a, 2b, and a receiver 3 (loudspeaker).
  • the Microphones 2a, 2b are via an analog / digital converter 4 at the input of one in their transmission properties adjustable transmission unit 5 connected on the output side via a digital / analog converter 6 with the Handset 3 is connected.
  • the transmission unit 5 is a number of different parameter sets saved, each of which has a specific acoustic Environmental situation is assigned and a Transmission characteristic of the transmission unit 5 certainly.
  • Such a parameter set 7 is shown in FIG. 3 shown schematically.
  • the hearing aid 1 a signal processing part 8, which by a Signal analysis unit 9 and one connected to it Signal identification unit 10 is formed.
  • the Signal analysis unit 9 is connected to the output of the Analog / digital converter 4 is connected and on the input side with the input signal of the Transmission unit 5 acted upon.
  • the exit of the Signal identification unit 10 is connected to the Transmission unit 5 connected, with the further one Input part 11 is operatively connected.
  • This input part 11 is in the embodiment shown as one of Hearing aid separate remote control unit 12, which is connected wirelessly to the hearing aid 1. This shown purely schematically in Fig.
  • Remote control unit 12 has a housing 13 in which the necessary electronic, not closer shown components are housed, and two Buttons 14 and 15 that are easy for the hearing aid wearer are identified identifiable in the shown Embodiment with "+” (e.g. means “better Understand ”) and” - “(means e.g.” more pleasant hearing ").
  • the input part 11 can also be designed such that the Input by the hearing aid wearer is voice-controlled can.
  • the signal analysis unit 9 In the signal analysis unit 9 from the Output signals of the analog / digital converter 4 characteristic, auditory-based features and if necessary, additional technical-based features extracted. Because of the signal analysis unit 9 extracted features is in the Signal identification unit 10 via recognition the same or similar pattern of the extracted features determines the current acoustic environment and generates a corresponding output signal.
  • This Output signal that provides information about the acoustic Contains environmental situation, the transmission unit 5 fed in which the one who is momentary Transmission characteristic of the transmission unit 5 determining parameter set is set that the identified identified acoustic environmental situation is.
  • the hearing aid wearer now has the option of how described automatically selected parameter set, i.e. to influence the set hearing program.
  • the input part 11 is used, which, as already mentioned is operatively connected to the transmission unit 5. How this is done below With reference to FIG. 3 explained in more detail.
  • this Parameter set 7 consist of the parameters P1-Pn.
  • the one for each parameter set in the transmission unit 5 stored nominal value is with a black bar shown and designated with N.
  • N By pressing the Keys 14, 15 can change the parameters P1-Pn from this nominal value N in two opposite directions C, D between two end values, which are labeled A and B in FIG are designated and define a control range, to be changed.
  • P1-Pn can be adjusted individually, which for the Hearing aid wearer very confusing and also not would be manageable.
  • the parameters can be adjusted in stages or continuously as well as either soft, i.e. inaudible, or hard, i.e. audible, done.
  • the inventive method and with Hearing aid system 1 according to the invention is the Hearing aid wearer able to automatically select the hearing program belonging to the current environmental situation to bring in his personal desire to hear. This is supposed to an example.
  • the hearing aid wearer is in a restaurant. in the Background music is playing. Others are sitting at the same table People in conversation. The hearing aid poses automatically in this way given the current acoustic ambient situation. The Hearing aid wearers may now wish to end the conversation on Follow the table better or listen more to the music can. If he wants to follow the conversation better, press button 14 and changes the parameters P1-Pn in Direction of arrow D in the sense of "better understanding, selective hearing or more intelligibility ". Will but the hearing aid wearer can hear the music better, so he presses the other key 15 and adjusts the Parameter P1-Pn in the direction of arrow C in the sense of "more pleasant hearing or improved all-round hearing".
  • a large number of different can be found in the hearing aid Hearing programs, i.e. the corresponding parameter sets, are saved, of which each for the current acoustic environment best hearing program is automatically selected.
  • the hearing aid wearer can his desire to hear, which is different from an acoustic Environmental situation to the next, but also within one given environmental situation, can change to simple Implement way, namely by pressing a button Keyboard.
  • the latter comes with two buttons, but can also have more than two buttons. So that enables inventive concept the creation of a user-friendly hearing aid that automatically adjusted to the current acoustic environment and also the respective listening request of the Hearing aid wearer is able to take into account.
  • the hearing aid 1 described can be designed in such a way that that the corrected parameter sets as above explained by the hearing aid wearer according to his Desired hearing have been changed, stored in the hearing aid become. It turns out that in a certain acoustic environment of the hearing aid wearer originally associated with this environmental situation saved parameter set always the same Way changed, i.e. always in the same Direction and by the same measure, this can originally saved parameter set by the changed, corrected parameter set are replaced. The corrected The parameter set is then used as the standard setting.
  • This replacement of the originally saved Parameter set against the corrected parameter set can are automatically learned by the hearing aid itself, e.g. through a neural network, or else by a hearing care professional or the hearing aid wearer be made yourself.
  • the hearing aid system described above serves in the sense a hearing aid to correct a damaged person Hearing of a person.
  • the method according to the invention and the hearing aid concept according to the invention can analogously also with other acoustic Communication systems, e.g. for radios, applied or used.
