Definitions
- Hearing aid and Hörtrainings Meet especially for women preferably with a floating ear canal pin and the method for producing the training sound.
- Floating ear trunnions have been known for many years. So z. B. in the Scriptures DE 100 50 766 A1 an earmold for behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aid described in which the earmold is anchored in a kind of clasp in the auricle and fixed by means of an end portion of the sound tube in the upper region of the ear canal. However, the sound tube has no additions or changes at its end.
- BTE behind-the-ear
- the fixation of the sound tube in a hearing device is described.
- the hearing device is pierced throughout and has a conical area at the end.
- this conical area only serves to fix the sound tube.
- the end of the sound tube is heated and adapted to the cone. After cooling, the end of the sound tube keeps the conical shape and can not be pulled out of the hearing. This can only be done by a separation of the sound tube.
- the object of the invention is to use the natural sound and the hearing aid sound together within the human ear for a natural hearing and to create a Hörtrainingsbeschallung for auditory training.
- hearing aids are used, which amplify sound lifelike, so cause neither frequency changes nor time delays.
- the ear coupling of the hearing aid must not be closed.
- So-called floating ear canal pins are used.
- the natural sound passes through a bypass past the ear canal pin to the eardrum.
- the bypass should be kept as open as possible to moderate hearing loss.
- the ear canal pin tapers towards the tip in the direction of the eardrum in order to make the residual auditory canal volume a sort of horn with Libby effect.
- the horn shape can amplify high frequencies. This especially benefits women, as they need the high frequencies above 2000 Hz for better directional location and for understanding in noisy environment. If the auditory canal is lengthened, the audible signal will be louder, with a shorter auditory canal, this signal will be quieter.
- a method for generating high frequencies by means of a hearing device using hovering auditory canal pins, which mixes the natural sound and the sound amplified by the hearing aid in the ear canal, both sound components to each other no time delay and amplification occurs without frequency changes.
- This method is suitable for ear training especially for women, with a selection of different types of sound and sound sources and their localization takes place in training.
- the training promotes the ability to absolute localization of sound sources, the perception of differences between two or more sound sources and the spatial separation of sound sources. Furthermore, the training promotes a range of auditory spatial processing capabilities, such as the localization of sound sources, spatial liberation of masking, left / right confusion, front / back confusion, spatially selective attention, auditory working memory, auditory span, cocktail party problem , Multi-person conversation and background noise, and the directional difference threshold.
- the sounds and sound sources are recorded with a recording technique derived from the human ear, the artificial head stereophony. All spatial information of the sound is recorded via the two microphones in the ears of a dummy head. This allows a correct reproduction of all information contained in the sound.
- the recording technique for the types of sound and sound sources allows a fully comprehensive auditory scene analysis by scientific standards.
- the training offers a virtual three-dimensional surround sound and allows immersion in a wide variety of listening scenes and sound images.
- the stereophonic sounds and sound sources are delivered to the auditory canal via the hearing-training devices with in-ear loudspeakers or ex-earphones.
- the in-ear presentation is a necessary technique for the correct reproduction of artificial head stereophony.
- the hearing training devices according to the invention thus provide increased dynamics and reduced compression in order to reproduce unchanged the frequency and direction information contained in the sound.
- the grooves or grooves in the surface of the ear canal spike listed in claim 2 are used to increase the opening of the bypass between ear canal and auditory canal wall with the improved transition of natural sound past the ear canal pin in the direction of the eardrum.
- the acoustic signal is louder compared to a very short version of the ear canal spigot. By this measure, the battery life can be extended with appropriate control of the hearing aid.
- the sound tube which is fixed to the through hole through the ear canal pin, has the shape of a horn.
- This horn shape is also continued through the entire auditory canal and therefore has a continuous horn shape. This can be used to amplify high frequencies.
- the opening of the end piece is formed in a conically widening horn shape or as inverted horn, with a conically narrowing opening. This allows the frequencies to be amplified or attenuated.
- the hearing aid and hearing training device in particular for women, has a floating auditory canal pin 1.
- the floating auditory canal pin 1 has a conical shape, the outer diameter decreasing continuously in the direction of the eardrum 2.
- the space between the auditory canal wall 4 and auditory canal tap 1 of the hearing aid is a horn-like extension with Libby effect and at the same time a bypass 3 for the sound waves between the auditory canal pin 1 and the auditory canal wall 4.
- the floating shape of the ear canal spigot 1 additionally results in a high wearing comfort for the wearer of the hearing aid.
- the generation of high frequencies by means of a hearing aid using a floating ear canal pin 1 is supported.
- the natural sound and the sound amplified by the hearing aid through the ear canal pin 1 is mixed at the end of the ear canal pin 1 in the ear canal 6, wherein both sound components have no time delay to each other and the amplification takes place without frequency changes.
- the hearing aid thus enhances the sound lifelike. So neither frequency changes nor time delays are caused.
- This method is suitable for ear training, especially for women, as it works with high frequencies above 2000 Hz for better direction finding and understanding in a noisy environment, whereby in training a selection of different types of sound and sound sources and their localization takes place.
- the auditory canal pin 1 is executed in a maximum length corresponding to the conditions of the human ear and thus depends on the individual ear canal length of the relevant device carrier. It is also ensured that there is no contact of the ear canal spigot 1 with the auditory canal wall 4.
- a horn-shaped sound tube 9 of the hearing aid is fastened to the through-bore through the auditory canal pin 1.
- the horn form 8 continues in the through hole of the ear canal spigot 1 to the end of the ear canal spigot 1.
- the end of the ear canal spigot 1 in the direction of the eardrum 2 can be designed as a screw-on / unscrewable end piece 7.
- the continuation of the sound tube shape through the ear canal pin 1 at a constant diameter to the tail and then through the tail 7 terminates in a conically widening opening in horn form 8.
- This shape is used to amplify high frequencies.
- the method using detailed design solutions uses the natural sound through the bypass 3 and the sound amplified by the hearing aid.
- both are mixed, wherein both sound components have no time delay with respect to each other and the amplification takes place without frequency changes.
- the training promotes the ability to absolute localization of sound sources, the perception of differences between two or more sound sources and the spatial separation of sound sources. It further promotes a range of auditory spatial processing capabilities such as localization of sound sources, spatial liberation from masking, left / right confusion, front / back confusion, spatially selective attention, auditory working memory, auditory span, cocktail party problem, conversational situation with multiple people and background noise and the directional difference threshold.
- the training offers a virtual three-dimensional surround sound and allows immersion in a wide variety of listening scenes and sound images.
- the stereophonic sounds and sound sources are delivered to the auditory canal via the hearing-training devices with in-ear loudspeakers or ex-earphones.
- the in-ear presentation is a necessary technique for the correct reproduction of artificial head stereophony.
- the listening training devices offer increased dynamics and a Reduced compression to reproduce unchanged the frequency and direction information contained in the sound.
- the sound types and sound sources for the hearing training device are provided with a recording technique derived from the human ear, the artificial head stereophony, recorded. All spatial information of the sound is recorded via the two microphones in the ears of a dummy head. This allows a correct reproduction of all information contained in the sound.
- the recording technique for the types of sound and sound sources allows a fully comprehensive auditory scene analysis by scientific standards.
- the use of the method for ear training is particularly suitable for women.
- Here is a training for the detection of different types of sound and sound sources and their localization.
- the training tailored to women aims to activate the hearing aids and localization skills. This feature in hearing aids, such as noise reduction, off and this in turn increases the battery life by up to 30%.
