Definitions
- the invention relates to a hearing aid and a method for operating a hearing aid.
- Hearing aids must be able to cope with a large number of different hearing situations. For this purpose, it is necessary to adapt the transfer function of the hearing device to the respective hearing situation.
- So-called behind-the-ear hearing aids (BTE) have switches or push-buttons for switching to various hearing programs.
- so-called in-the-ear hearing aids (IdO) and in particular CIC devices due to their small size, are either very miniaturized and therefore uncomfortable to operate switches or buttons. Or they have no switches or buttons and are rather dependent on automatically recognizing the respective hearing situation.
- Modern hearing aids are equipped with signal processing algorithms for automatically detecting hearing situations and increasing wearing comfort. These make it possible to carry out a diverse analysis of the acoustic environment situation of the hearing aid wearer. Using the results of this analysis, noise removal algorithms, directivity algorithms, beamforming, automatic program switching and other signal processing components in the hearing aid can be adapted to the environment situation.
- the sound sensor is designed as an optical sensor and arranged at a distance from the surface of an excitable to acoustic vibrations portion of the sound transmission in the ear. The acousto-electrical conversion thus takes place via an optical sensor.
- the invention has for its object to provide a hearing aid and an operating method for such a hearing aid, through which the quality of the hearing aid therapy is increased, the ease of use of the hearing aid is improved, and allow a reduction in the size of the hearing aid.
- the invention solves this problem by a hearing aid and an operating method with the features of the independent claims.
- a basic idea of the invention consists in a hearing aid, which comprises a signal processing device that can operate with different signal processing parameters, wherein a UV sensor is provided, which is connected to the signal processing device, and wherein the signal processing device in response to an output signal of the UV sensor at least can set a signal processing parameter.
- the setting of a signal processing parameter is carried out by the signal processing device and thussätig from the point of view of the hearing aid wearer. Due to the self-adjusting setting, the hearing aid reacts promptly to different light conditions or their changes. Therefore, a suitable adjustment of signal processing parameters is made promptly and not by delayed perception or Response delayed by the hearing aid wearer. The timely reaction of the hearing aid thus leads to rapid adaptation of the hearing aid therapy and thus increases their quality.
- the self-adjustment of the hearing aid may also include a manual adjustment element, e.g. make a program selector switch unnecessary;
- a manual adjustment element e.g. make a program selector switch unnecessary;
- the comparatively small UV sensor occur and thus a reduction of the housing size of the hearing aid can be achieved.
- operating mode is meant a way of working of the hearing aid, e.g. Taking into account different device environments or device conditions, for example, when connecting a so-called audio shoe, when inserting the hearing aid in a charging cradle, when connecting a power supply, connection of a programmer, establishing wireless or wired connections to other hearing aids, in exhausted battery power supply, or when connecting different microphones or receivers (speakers).
- operating program should be understood to mean a signal processing program or a subprogram of a signal processing program for auditory signal processing, eg taking into account environmental conditions or situation, needs of the hearing aid wearer, auditory signal input sources, or hearing aid therapy recommendations.
- Operating programs are usually referred to as hearing programs and usually hearing aids have a choice between a plurality of preset by programming the hearing aid listening programs.
- Program parameters shall be understood to mean a parameter setting of a mode or an operating profile, e.g. a volume threshold, an acoustic compression level, an acoustic frequency value or frequency response, a processor clock frequency, a charging circuit for rechargeable hearing aid batteries, the activability of different operating programs, a frequency threshold or intensity threshold for the sensitivity of the UV light sensor , or the opening of a programming channel.
- the additionally available signal of the UV sensor can be taken into account particularly advantageously for the operation of the hearing aid.
- the plurality of adjustable signal processing parameters advantageously increases the variety of consideration options.
- the hearing aid comprises a hearing tube for conducting electrical or acoustic hearing signals to the ear of a hearing aid wearer, and the UV sensor is arranged in or on the hearing tube.
- Hearing aids with a hearing tube are in particular behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aids or BTE hearing aids with Receiverim channel (BTE - RiK), whereby the receiver of the hearing aid loudspeaker is understood and this is positioned in the auditory canal of the hearing aid wearer.
- BTE behind-the-ear
- BTE - RiK BTE hearing aids with Receiverim channel
- the arrangement of the UV sensor on the hearing tube results in particular in BTE and BTE hearing aids the advantage that the UV sensor is not covered by the auricle of the hearing aid wearer.
- the hearing tube is usually guided by the hearing aid arranged behind the auricular over the auricle to the auditory canal of the hearing aid wearer.
- the hearing tube runs partially above the auricle, partially frontally in front of the auricle.
- At least one predetermined signal processing parameter for inside and outside closed rooms is adjustable.
- the predetermined signal processing parameters may be pre-programmed, for example, when programming the hearing aid. They can be used as start parameter values for a self-adaptation algorithm of the signal processing, so that the parameter value determined last by self-adaptation is used the next time the respective parameter is set. They can also be programmed as permanently preprogrammed parameter values, e.g. when adjusting the hearing aid with the hearing aid acoustician, which are used unchanged each time you set the respective parameter. In addition, the respective parameters may be fixed by the hearing aid hardware. Other variants are conceivable.
- the UV sensor allows advantageously and particularly simple manner a very selective detection of the respective Environmental situation.
- visible light As a detection criterion might seem to be close, it should be remembered that visible light is artificially generated even within closed spaces in quite considerable intensity; therefore, the use of a light sensor operating in the frequency range of visible light is not appropriate.
- UV light is normally not or hardly artificially generated within closed spaces. Therefore, the UV component in the ambient light is a reliable criterion for distinguishing the two environmental situations and the UV sensor is a suitable and at the same time highly selective sensor.
- FIG. 1 is a hearing aid 1 in BTE version shown schematically.
- the hearing aid 1 has a housing 2 and comprises a hearing tube 10.
- the hearing tube 10 serves to guide auditory signals, that is to say acoustic output signals of the hearing aid 1, to an ear of the hearing aid wearer.
- a comparable construction has a BTE hearing aid on which, however, the hearing tube does not serve to convey acoustic signals to the ear of the hearing aid wearer. Instead, in RiK hearing aids, electrical signals are conducted through the hearing tube to a receiver positioned in the auditory canal of the hearing aid wearer, ie loudspeakers.
- a so-called dome 11 is arranged at the end of the hearing tube 10.
- the Dom 11 is a semicircular structure made of soft, elastic material, eg silicone. It serves to position the hearing tube 10 in the auditory canal of the hearing aid wearer and to secure it against accidental slipping out.
- a microphone 3 is arranged for receiving acoustic signals. It is connected via a line to a signal processing device 5, which serves to process the acoustic input signals. It is thus connected via a further line with a receiver 4, by which the signals obtained from the transfer function are converted into acoustic signals, which are then forwarded through the hearing tube 10.
- the signal processing device 5 draws its supply voltage from a battery 6. All disposed within the housing 2 device elements are indicated by dashed lines in the figure.
- the signal processing device 5 is designed to operate in different operating modes, different operating programs or with different program parameters. These different operating options differ by the respectively set parameter values and each represent a different method for operating the hearing aid 1.
- a UV sensor 20 is connected to the signal processing device 5.
- the hearing tube 10 is designed for visual reasons usually transparent, therefore, the running in the hearing tube 10 part of the line 21 is not dashed but shown in solid.
- the hearing tube 10 is UV-permeable.
- a window in the hearing tube 10 may be provided to pass UV light to the UV sensor 20.
- Output signals of the UV sensor 20 are supplied via the line 21 of the signal processing device 5. This is able to depend on their mode of operation from the output signal of the UV sensor 20, for example with regard to the operating mode, the operating program or a program parameter.
- the signal processing device 5 can activate an operating program which is suitable for environments outside of closed rooms. This operating program choice is based on the fact that an increased UV sensitivity occurs especially outside of closed rooms. Conversely, when a UV intensity threshold is undershot, an operating program suitable for closed rooms can be activated.
- the threshold values of the UV light intensity can be changed in the signal processing device 5 or on the UV sensor 20 in order to detect fundamentally different environmental conditions, e.g. at different altitudes or climates.
- the frequency working range of the UV sensor 20 is chosen in the usual way, e.g. in the frequency range UV-A or UV-B.
- a hearing aid 30 is shown in in-the-ear (IdO) implementation.
- the housing 31 of the hearing aid 30, which is adapted to the shape of the ear canal of the respective hearing aid wearer, indicated by dashed lines, there are a microphone 3, a receiver 4, a signal processing device 5, a battery 6, all of which are designed as described above.
- a UV sensor 20 located in the remote from the ear canal side of the housing 31, a UV sensor 20, which is also carried out as described above. It is located in a housing section which is either UV transparent or which has a window for UV light. Incidentally, the operation in response to output signals of the UV sensor 20 corresponds to that described in the preceding figure.
- the invention can be summarized as follows:
- the invention relates to a hearing aid and a method for operating a hearing aid.
- the hearing aid 1, 30 the one signal processing device 5, which can operate with different signal processing parameters, wherein a UV sensor 20 is provided, which is connected to the signal processing device 5, and wherein the signal processing device 5 in response to an output signal of the UV sensor 20 can set at least one signal processing parameter.
- at least one predetermined signal processing parameter for inside and outside closed rooms is adjustable. Based on the ultraviolet light intensity to be measured by the UV sensor in the environment, a distinction can be made reliably between environmental situations inside and outside closed rooms, so that the mode of operation of the hearing aid, eg of the hearing program, is advantageously automatically adapted to these two environmental situations.
