Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for adjusting a hearing device by inputting a desired setting value into the hearing device at a definable time. Moreover, the present invention relates to a corresponding device for adjusting a hearing aid.
  • the adjustment of hearing aids is todayadays often achieved by fitting formulas on the basis of audiometric data.
  • audiometric data for example, the hearing loss, the discomfort threshold, the volume scaling and the like are taken into account.
  • the fitting formulas are based on statistical and empirical findings and therefore have only conditional validity for the individual hearing device user.
  • a time-consuming follow-up care is necessary with the hearing device acoustician.
  • Another problem is that the optimum setting for the user of his hearing aid can only be found and verified in realistic and user-relevant acoustic situations.
  • From the DE 44 19 901 A1 is a hearing aid known whose operation and control without manual intervention and actuation means is possible.
  • the condition for example the selection of a stored program, takes place by recognizing and evaluating a codeword spoken by the hearing device user.
  • a fuzzy logic or a neural network it is possible that the hearing aid itself is capable of learning with respect to the acoustic control commands.
  • the EP 0 681 411 A1 describes a programmable hearing aid with an adjustable in its transmission characteristics between microphone and listener on various transmission characteristics amplifier and transmission part.
  • personal inputs of the hearing device wearer which are fuzzy inputs, can also be taken into account. Fuzzy logic can determine the hearing aid setting data from these fuzzy inputs and further stored data.
  • the object of the present invention is thus to be able to respond more specifically to individual conditions when setting a hearing aid.
  • this object is achieved by a method for adjusting a hearing device by inputting a desired setting value into the hearing device at a determinable time, measuring at least one sound variable relating to a first environment situation at the determinable time, automatic learning of setting values to be used depending on the desired one Set value and the at least one measured sound size, re-measuring at least one sound size regarding a second environment situation and adjusting the hearing aid to one of the used Setting values related to the second environment situation.
  • the invention provides a device for adjusting a hearing device with an input device for inputting a desired setting in the hearing aid at a determinable time, a measuring device for measuring at least one sound quantity concerning a first environmental situation at the determinable time and at least one sound size concerning one Second environment situation, and a computing device for automatically learning of setting values to be used in dependence on the desired set value and the at least one measured sound quantity relating to the first environment situation, wherein one of the set values to be used with respect to the second environment situation can be output by the computing device.
  • the input via its own button on the hearing aid, the volume control, the remote control and / or a voice input unit. It is sufficient to give an impulse to save to the hearing aid.
  • a button By pressing a button a selected gain can be stored together with an acoustic environment situation.
  • the at least one measured sound quantity may be the minimum or maximum sound pressure level in a frequency channel or the modulation depth. Based on the measured variables obtained in individual situations, the gain or compression can be readjusted as a set value.
  • the learning takes place by time-weighting of learning steps. This can be used to determine if and how quickly the " self-adjustment" should converge.
  • the learning steps can be performed at predetermined times and / or in a predetermined number. Even on individual request, a learning step can be performed. Thus, the learning can be done with the desired speed and precision.
  • an adjustment device is integrated directly into a hearing aid, so that the adjustment or adjustment of the hearing aid can be done without equipment expense.
  • an external adjustment system for adjusting in which the adjusting device described above is integrated Wired or wireless, the settings can be transmitted from the adjustment system to the hearing aid.
  • the user sets first according to block 1, the gain on the hearing aid manually when he is in a specific acoustic situation. If this acoustic situation is characteristic of him, he triggers in accordance with block 2 an adjustment of his hearing aid. This is done either manually or timed at certain intervals or otherwise automatically. If the adjustment process is triggered, then the current environmental situation is measured acoustically, as shown in block 3.
  • the measured values obtained and the manually selected amplification value are used to determine a new characteristic field in accordance with block 4.
  • a new characteristic field In this characteristic field, a large number of environmental situations are linked to corresponding gains.
  • the automatic adjustment of the hearing aid for example, by the fact that the user communicates his hearing aid in the relevant for him acoustic situations on the volume control, the remote control, a voice input, etc., the desired gain.
  • the desired gain By evaluating the requested gain and a physical analysis of the acoustic situation regarding minimum and maximum sound pressure in the channels of the hearing aid, modulation depth, classifier decision, etc. present for the same period, improved values for gain and compression are derived.
  • the required data is stored in the hearing aid or externally and the evaluation in the hearing aid or externally performed for example by means of a PC or remote control.
  • the evaluation can be done after a certain time, a certain number of control activities or at the request of the user to determine level and frequency-dependent gains.
  • determining the new setting can be determined by a temporal weighting, if and how quickly the self-adjustment should converge.
  • the hearing aid wearer also has the opportunity to influence this time weighting to perform a corresponding fine adjustment.
  • the advantageous use of the self-alignment according to the invention can be shown by the following example.
  • the gain is reduced by the user, while no changes are stored at medium and low levels.
  • the hearing aid then changes the characteristic field so that the compression ratio in the low-frequency channels is increased.
