보청기는 외부의 음성 신호를 마이크로 받아 증폭시켜 귀에 전달하는 기능을 한다. 디지털신호기술(Digital signal processing, DPS)는 낮은 전력, 낮은 회로잡음, 신호의 안정성, 정확성, 프로그램의 용이성 등을 가능하게 했을 뿐만 아니라 크기도 혁신적으로 줄여 난청자들이 편리하게 이용할 수 있도록 하였다. 귀속형 보청기에서 문제가 되었던 하울링음(feedback noise)을 추적하여 제거하거나, 작은 소리도 명확하게 듣기 위하여 출력을 높인 보청기가 많이 나왔다. 가장 많이 사용되는 기도 보청기(air conduction hearing aid)의 종류에는 상자, 귀걸이, 갑개, 와이도, 고막 보청기가 있다. 각 보청기마다 장단점이 있는데, 마이크가 외부로 드러나야 잡음 없이 깨끗한 소리를 얻을 수 있고, 귀에 착용이 쉬울 때는 눈에 잘 띈다는 장점이 있고, 귀에 삽입하는 보청기는 설치와 제거에 어려움이 있다. Hearing aids function to receive and amplify external voice signals to the microphone. Digital signal processing (DPS) not only enables low power, low circuit noise, signal stability, accuracy, and ease of programming, but also innovatively reduces its size to make it easier for the hearing impaired. Many hearing aids have been designed to track and remove feedback noise, which has been a problem in ear hearing aids, or to increase power to clearly hear small sounds. The most common types of air conduction hearing aids are boxes, earrings, cuffs, waidos, and eardrum hearing aids. Each hearing aid has its advantages and disadvantages, and the microphone must be exposed to the outside to get a clear sound without any noise.
이 발명은 치아에 착용하는 골전도 보청기로 인체에 착용과 제거가 용이하다.. 또한 난청자들의 불편함이었던 겉에 드러나지 않도로 하여 난청자들의 자존심과 활용도를 높여준다. 치아에 착용하는 골전도 보청기는 휴대가 쉽고 분실의 걱정도 줄여 활동이 많은 사람들 에게 유용하다. 골전도로 소리를 듣는 원리는 뼈의 진동을 통해서 소리를 듣는 것인데, 보통 피부가 얇고 뼈가 닿는 귓쪽 관자놀이 근처에 많이 착용하나, 치아에 직접 닿아 소리를 들을 수 있도록 한다. 조작부는 마이크와 볼륨 조절 장치가 있어 마이크의 일반 불륨조절이 되어 무선으로 연결된다. FM방식으로 보청기에 소리가 전달되어 골전도 진동자가 작동하면, 소리를 인지 할 수 있다. This invention is easy to wear and remove in the human body with a bone conduction hearing aid to wear on the teeth. In addition, the discomfort of the hearing impaired to improve the pride and utilization of the hearing loss. Bone conduction hearing aids worn on the teeth are easy to carry and reduce the risk of loss. The principle of hearing sound through bone conduction is to hear the sound through the vibration of the bone, which is usually worn near the left temple where the skin is thin and the bone touches, but the sound can be heard directly by touching the tooth. The control unit has a microphone and a volume control device, which controls the microphone's normal volume and connects wirelessly. The sound is transmitted to the hearing aid by the FM method, and when the bone conduction vibrator operates, the sound can be recognized.
본 발명에 의한 치아에 착용하는 골전도 보청기는 사용자가 치아에 기기를 착용하였을 시, 조작부의 turn on/off 버튼(b1)을 누르면 작동이 된다. 조작부는 집게(b4)로 되어 옷 혹은 가방에 고정시킬 수 있다. 겉으로 드러나 외부의 소리를 옷, 케이스 등의 장애 없이 전달한다. 마이크의 송신부(b3)가 소리를 받으면 보청기의 수신부에 전달을 하고 그 신호를 진동으로 바꾸어 치아에 전달한다. 실리콘으로 만든 보청기의 쉘 모양(a1)은, 아래쪽 어금니 두 개에 끼울 수 있는 모양을 하고 있다. 쉘의 안쪽에 진동자(a2)가 있으며, 그 옆쪽으로 수신부(a3)가 있다. 조작부는 전원 버튼과 음량 조졀 버튼(b2), 그리고 소리가 출력할 때, 저음을 강화하는(Bass boost) 기능을 추가하여(b4) 저음출력을 강화 할 수 있다. The bone conduction hearing aid worn on the tooth according to the present invention is operated when the user presses the turn on / off button b1 of the operation unit when the user wears the device on the tooth. The operation part may be a forceps b4 and may be fixed to clothes or a bag. Appears externally and transmits external sounds without obstacles such as clothes and cases. When the transmitter b3 of the microphone receives the sound, it transmits the signal to the receiver of the hearing aid and converts the signal into vibration and transmits the signal to the tooth. The shell shape (a1) of a hearing aid made of silicon has a shape that can be inserted into two lower molars. Inside the shell there is an oscillator a2, and on its side there is a receiver a3. The operation unit may enhance the bass output by adding a power button, a volume control button b2, and a bass boost function when the sound is output (b4).
따라서 본 발명은 외부적 환경으로 인해 난청이 있는 사람들과, 노화로 청력이 감퇴된 사람에게 도움을 줄 수 있다. 기존 보청기의 단점인 외부로 드러남과 부착과 탈착의 불편함을 감소하며, 분실의 위험이 적다. 뼈에 직접 닿아 소리를 전달하기 때문에 전달력이 높고, 청력의 영향을 받지 않는다. 마이크와 조작부를 분리 시킴으로써, 기존 귀에 착용하는 작은 기기에 다양한 기능이 밀집하여 일어나는 잦은 고장도 줄일 수 있다.Therefore, the present invention can help people with hearing loss due to the external environment, and people with hearing loss due to aging. It reduces the inconvenience of being exposed and attached and detached to the outside, which is a disadvantage of the existing hearing aids, and reduces the risk of loss. Because the sound is delivered directly to the bones, the transmission is high and is not affected by hearing. By separating the microphone and the control panel, it is possible to reduce the frequent failures caused by the concentration of various functions in a small device worn on the existing ear.
