Abstract

Das Einstellen eines Hörgeräts soll komfortabler und zielgerichteter durchgeführt werden können. Hierzu ist vorgesehen, für eine Einstellprozedur durch den Hörgeräteträger selbst, reale Hörbeispiele in einer Speichereinrichtung in dem Hörgerät (HG) oder der Fernbedienung (FB) abzuspeichern. Für die Einstellprozedur werden diese Hörbeispiele dann dem Hörgeräteträger wiedergegeben. Der Hörgeräteträger muss für die Einstellung dadurch nicht eine entsprechende Hörsituation in seiner Umgebung abwarten und kann die Einstellung damit beliebig wiederholen.The setting of a hearing aid should be able to be carried out more conveniently and purposefully. For this purpose, it is provided to store real audio samples in a memory device in the hearing device (HG) or the remote control (FB) for a setting procedure by the hearing device wearer himself. For the adjustment procedure, these sound samples are then reproduced to the hearing aid wearer. The hearing aid wearer does not have to wait for the setting to hear a corresponding hearing situation in his environment and can thus repeat the setting as desired.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Hörgerät mit einer Speichereinrichtung zum Speichern von Signaldaten, einer Signalverarbeitungseinrichtung zur Ausgabe der Signaldaten von der Speichereinrichtung und einer Bedieneinrichtung zur Einstellung der Signalverarbeitungseinrichtung. Darüber hinaus betrifft die vorliegende Erfindung ein Hörgerätesystem mit einem Hörgerät und einer Fernbedienung und schließlich ein Verfahren zum Einstellen des Hörgeräts.The present invention relates to a hearing aid having a memory device for storing signal data, a signal processing device for outputting the signal data from the memory device and an operating device for adjusting the signal processing device. Moreover, the present invention relates to a hearing aid system with a hearing aid and a remote control, and finally to a method for adjusting the hearing aid.

Bislang ist es dem Hörgeräteträger nicht oder nur sehr eingeschränkt möglich, die Übertragungscharakteristik seines Hörgeräts seinen Wünschen und Erfordernissen entsprechend selbst und zu jeder Zeit, also insbesondere ohne einen Akustiker aufsuchen zu müssen, einzustellen. Der Grund hierfür liegt in der Fülle und Komplexität der Parameter, die nur von entsprechend geschultem Fachpersonal überblickt werden kann. Insbesondere kann der Hörgeräteträger oftmals nicht objektiv entscheiden, welche Hörsituation vorliegt, so dass er sein Hörgerät entsprechend einstellen könnte.So far, it is the hearing aid wearer is not or only to a very limited extent, the transmission characteristics of his hearing aid according to his wishes and requirements themselves and at any time, so in particular without having to visit an acoustician to adjust. The reason for this lies in the abundance and complexity of the parameters, which can only be surveyed by suitably trained specialist staff. In particular, the hearing device user can often not objectively decide which hearing situation is present, so that he could adjust his hearing aid accordingly.

Bei den meisten Hörgeräten ist bislang nur vorgesehen, dass der Hörgeräteträger die Lautstärke an seinem Gerät selbst einstellen kann. Gegebenenfalls wird von einem Klassifikator die aktuelle Hörsituation festgestellt und die eingestellte Lautstärke zu der aktuellen Hörsituation gespeichert.For most hearing aids so far only provided that the hearing aid wearer can adjust the volume on his device itself. If necessary, the current hearing situation is determined by a classifier and the set volume is stored for the current hearing situation.

Zur Einstellung von Hörgeräten ist aus den Druckschriften US 5 202 927 , US 5 710 819 , US 4 947 432 und US 5 303 306 jeweils bekannt, Steuersignale an das Hörgerät zu übertragen. Insbesondere können entsprechende Kontroll-Parameter von einer Fernbedienung zum Hörgerät übermittelt werden.For the adjustment of hearing aids is from the pamphlets US 5,202,927 . US 5,710,819 . US 4,947,432 and US 5,303,306 each known to transmit control signals to the hearing aid. In particular, corresponding control parameters can be transmitted from a remote control to the hearing aid.

Ferner beschreibt die Druckschrift DE 44 27 216 A1 ein Verfahren zur Tinnitusversorgung, bei dem ein Spektralanteile des Tinnitussignals aufweisendes akustisches Verdeckungssignal ausgewählt oder erzeugt und dem Tinnituspatienten während des Auftretens des Tinnitus dargeboten wird. Als Verdeckungssignal werden natürliche, zeitlich veränderliche Klangbilder verwendet.Furthermore, the document describes DE 44 27 216 A1 a method for tinnitus care, in which a spectral components the tinnitus signal is selected or generated and presented to the tinnitus patient during the occurrence of the tinnitus. As a masking signal natural, temporally variable sound images are used.

Weiterhin ist aus den Druckschriften AU 199858308 A1 und DE 32 05 685 C2 bekannt, synthetische Testsignale für die Einstellung von Hörgeräten zu verwenden. Demnach kann ein Hörgeräteträger eine übliche Ton-Audiometrie selbst durchführen.Furthermore, from the publications AU 199858308 A1 and DE 32 05 685 C2 known to use synthetic test signals for the adjustment of hearing aids. Accordingly, a hearing aid wearer can carry out a customary sound audiometry himself.

Nachteilig an diesen Einstellmöglichkeiten ist jedoch, dass die natürlichen Hörsituationen von den synthetischen Testsignalen abweisen, so dass die Einstellungen nur näherungsweise durchgeführt werden können.A disadvantage of these settings, however, is that the natural listening situations of the synthetic test signals reject, so that the settings can be performed only approximately.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht somit darin, die Einstellmöglichkeiten für den Hörgeräteträger selbst zu verbessern.The object of the present invention is therefore to improve the setting options for the hearing aid wearer himself.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe gelöst durch ein Hörgerät mit einer Speichereinrichtung zum Speichern von Signaldaten, einer Signalverarbeitungseinrichtung zur Ausgabe der Signaldaten von der Speichereinrichtung und einer Bedieneinrichtung zur Einstellung der Signalverarbeitungseinrichtung, wobei die Signaldaten Test-Audiodaten zu mehreren Klassen von charakteristischen Hörsituationen umfassen, die Test-Audiodaten einer gewünschten Klasse durch eine Betätigung der Bedieneinrichtung über die Signalverarbeitungseinrichtung zumindest teilweise ausgebbar sind, die Signalverarbeitungseinrichtung während der Ausgabe der Audiodaten einstellbar ist und die Einstellung der Signalverarbeitungseinrichtung für die gewünschte Klasse abspeicherbar ist.According to the invention, this object is achieved by a hearing device having a memory device for storing signal data, a signal processing device for outputting the signal data from the memory device and an operating device for setting the signal processing device, the signal data comprising test audio data for a plurality of classes of characteristic hearing situations, the test Audio data of a desired class by an operation of the operating device via the signal processing means are at least partially dispensable, the signal processing means during the output of the audio data is adjustable and the setting of the signal processing means for the desired class can be stored.

Ferner ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen ein Hörgerätesystem mit einem Hörgerät und einer Fernbedienung, wobei die Fernbedienung eine Speichereinrichtung zum Speichern von Test-Audiodaten zu mehreren Klassen von charakteristischen Hörsituationen und zum Übertragen der Test-Audiodaten einer gewünschten Klasse an das Hörgerät aufweist, das Hörgerät während einer Wiedergabe der Test-Audiodaten von dem Hörgeräteträger einstellbar ist, und die Einstellung des Hörgeräts für die gewünschte Klasse im Hörgerät abspeicherbar ist.Furthermore, the invention provides a hearing aid system a hearing aid and a remote control, wherein the remote control comprises a memory device for storing test audio data to several classes of characteristic listening situations and for transmitting the test audio data of a desired class to the hearing aid, the hearing aid during playback of the test audio data from the hearing aid wearer is adjustable, and the setting of the hearing aid for the desired class in the hearing aid can be stored.

Ebenso wird erfindungsgemäß bereitgestellt ein Verfahren zum Einstellen eines Hörgeräts durch Speichern von Test-Audiodaten, die mehrere Klassen von charakteristischen Hörsituationen repräsentieren, Wiedergabe der gespeicherten Test-Audiodaten einer gewünschten Klasse mittels des einzustellenden Hörgeräts, Einstellen des Hörgeräts anhand der wiedergegebenen Test-Audiodaten durch den Hörgeräteträger nach seinen individuellen Bedürfnissen und Speichern der Einstellung des Hörgeräts für die gewünschte Klasse im Hörgerät.The invention likewise provides a method for setting a hearing device by storing test audio data representing a plurality of classes of characteristic listening situations, reproducing the stored test audio data of a desired class by means of the hearing device to be adjusted, setting the hearing device using the reproduced test audio data by the hearing aid Hearing aid wearer according to his individual needs and storing the adjustment of the hearing aid for the desired class in the hearing aid.

Erfindungsgemäß ist es somit möglich, dem Hörgeräteträger sogenannte Real-Life-Testsignale zur Einstellung darzubieten, die einer charakteristischen Hörsituation entsprechen. Dadurch kann der Hörgeräteträger die Einstellung gezielter und genauer vornehmen. Hierbei ist es günstig, wenn eine Sequenz von Audio- bzw. Testsignalen Signale aus allen Klassifikator-Klassen, d. h. den vom Hörgeräteklassifikator unterscheidbaren Hörsituationen, mit jeweils verschiedenen Pegeln umfasst. Damit muss der Hörgeräteträger nicht mehr, wie bislang üblich, darauf warten, dass in seiner natürlichen Umgebung beispielsweise die Hörsituation "leise Musik" auftritt und er erst dann anfangen kann, sein Hörgerät einzustellen. Vielmehr kann er die Einstellprozedur erfindungsgemäß nun bevor er in eine derartige natürliche Situation gerät, wann immer er will und vor allem reproduzierbar durchführen. Der Benutzer kann somit anhand von natürlichen Hörsituationen Hörgeräteparameter klassen- und pegelabhängig modifizieren. Diese Modifikationen werden im Hörgerät dann gespeichert und sind ab sofort wirksam. Beispielsweise kann so der Hörgeräteträger bei der Darbietung von objektiv leiser Musik den Klang wie folgt wählen: Mehr Höhen, weniger Mitten und mehr Tiefen.
Vorzugsweise wird das Hörgerät über eine Fernbedienung bedient. Dadurch kann der Hörgeräteträger die Einstellung des Hörgeräts komfortabel mit der Fernbedienung durchführen.According to the invention it is thus possible to offer the hearing aid wearer so-called real-life test signals for adjustment, which correspond to a characteristic hearing situation. This allows the hearing aid wearer to make the setting more specific and accurate. In this case, it is favorable if a sequence of audio or test signals comprises signals from all classifier classes, ie the audible situations distinguishable from the hearing device classifier, each with different levels. As a result, the hearing aid wearer no longer has to wait, as has hitherto been the case, for the hearing situation "soft music" to occur in his natural environment, for example, before he can begin to adjust his hearing aid. Rather, he can the adjustment procedure according to the invention now before he gets into such a natural situation, whenever he wants and above all perform reproducible. The user can thus modify hearing aid parameters based on natural hearing situations class-dependent and level-dependent. These modifications are then stored in the hearing aid and are effective immediately. For example, so the hearing aid wearer in the Listening to objectively quiet music, select the sound as follows: More treble, fewer mids, and more bass.
Preferably, the hearing aid is operated via a remote control. This allows the hearing aid wearer to comfortably adjust the hearing aid with the remote control.

Die Test-Audiodaten umfassen in vorteilhafter Weise eine Ansage und ein anschließendes Hörbeispiel. Dadurch kann sichergestellt werden, dass der Hörgeräteträger das nachfolgend wiedergegebene Hörbeispiel richtig einschätzt und klassifiziert.The test audio data advantageously comprises an announcement and a subsequent audio sample. This can ensure that the hearing aid wearer correctly assesses and classifies the audio sample reproduced below.

Entsprechend einer ebenfalls bevorzugten Weiterbildung wird die Wiedergabe der Test-Audiodaten so lange wiederholt, bis der Hörgeräteträger eine entsprechende Bedientaste drückt. Dadurch kann sich der Hörgeräteträger bei der Einstellung des Hörgeräts für eine spezielle Hörsituation beliebig lange Zeit lassen.According to a likewise preferred embodiment, the reproduction of the test audio data is repeated until the hearing aid wearer presses a corresponding control key. As a result, the hearing device wearer can leave any desired length of time during the setting of the hearing device for a specific hearing situation.

Der Einstellbereich des Hörgeräts kann ferner in Abhängigkeit der wiedergegebenen Audiodaten vorgegeben sein. Dies ist insbesondere dann von Vorteil, wenn der Hörgeräteträger die dargebotenen Audiosignale falsch einschätzt und so beispielsweise die Lautstärke für die Hörsituation "leise Musik" zu hoch einstellen würde.The adjustment range of the hearing device can also be predetermined as a function of the reproduced audio data. This is particularly advantageous if the hearing aid wearer misjudges the presented audio signals and, for example, would set the volume for the listening situation "quiet music" too high.

Die vorliegende Erfindung wird nun anhand der beigefügten Zeichnungen näher erläutert, die eine Prinzipskizze eines erfindungsgemäßen Hörgerätesystems darstellt.The present invention will now be explained in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate a schematic diagram of a hearing aid system according to the invention.

Das nachfolgend nähergeschilderte Ausführungsbeispiel stellt eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung dar.The embodiment described in more detail below represents a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Erfindungsgemäß soll der Hörgeräteträger in die Lage versetzt werden, durch Aktionen an seinem Hörgerät oder an einer Fernbedienung die Signalverarbeitung seines Hörgeräts selbst einzustellen. Hierzu werden im Wesentlichen zwei Komponenten verwendet:

  1. 1. Testsignale, die einer realen Hörsituation entsprechen und
  2. 2. Bedienelemente an dem Hörgerät oder der Fernbedienung zum Einstellen des Hörgeräts durch den Hörgeräteträger.
According to the invention, the hearing aid wearer is to be enabled to adjust the signal processing of his hearing aid himself by actions on his hearing aid or on a remote control. Essentially, two components are used for this:
  1. 1. test signals that correspond to a real listening situation and
  2. 2. Controls on the hearing aid or the remote control for adjusting the hearing aid by the hearing aid wearer.

Die Testsignale bzw. Hörbeispiele entsprechen allen wesentlichen Umgebungssituationen, denen ein Hörgeräteträger typischerweise ausgesetzt ist. So wird z. B. ein Hörbeispiel für die Hörsituation Sprache in Ruhe, leise Musik usw. als Testsignal bereitgestellt. Diese Testsignale werden gemäß dem in der Figur dargestellten Beispiel in einer Speichereinheit SE einer Fernbedienung FB gespeichert. Die Fernbedienung FB sendet die Testsignale drahtlos an ein Hörgerät HG, das hierzu einen entsprechenden Empfänger EM aufweist. Bei einer alternativen Ausführungsform kann die Speichereinheit zur Speicherung der Testsignale auch direkt in dem Hörgerät vorgesehen sein.The test signals or sound samples correspond to all significant environmental situations to which a hearing aid wearer is typically exposed. So z. B. a sound sample for the listening situation speech at rest, quiet music, etc. provided as a test signal. These test signals are stored according to the example shown in the figure in a memory unit SE a remote control FB. The remote control FB sends the test signals wirelessly to a hearing aid HG, which has a corresponding receiver EM for this purpose. In an alternative embodiment, the memory unit for storing the test signals may also be provided directly in the hearing device.

Der Empfänger EM im Hörgerät HG übermittelt die empfangenen Testsignale an eine Signalverarbeitung SV, die einen Hörer H ansteuert. Mit einem Bedienelement BE am Hörgerät HG kann die Signalverarbeitung SV eingestellt werden. Darüber hinaus besteht die Möglichkeit, die Signalverarbeitung SV mit Hilfe der Fernbedienung FB einzustellen. Mit entsprechenden Einstelltasten an der Fernbedienung lässt sich beispielsweise "Volume"/"Treble"/"Bass" oder auch nur "Volume" einstellen.The receiver EM in the hearing aid HG transmits the received test signals to a signal processor SV, which activates a handset H. With a control element BE on the hearing aid HG signal processing SV can be adjusted. In addition, it is possible to set the signal processing SV using the remote control FB. You can set "Volume" / "Treble" / "Bass" or even "Volume" with the corresponding adjustment buttons on the remote control.

Der Beginn des Einstellvorgangs kann beispielsweise durch Drücken der Taste S auf der Fernbedienung FB erfolgen. Mit der Taste M lässt sich die gewählte Einstellung abspeichern.The beginning of the setting process can be done for example by pressing the S button on the remote control FB. The M key can be used to save the selected setting.

Im Folgenden wird nun ein Einstellvorgang im Detail beschrieben. Dabei wird dem Hörgeräteträger günstigerweise eine Sequenz von Testsignalen bzw. Hörbeispielen mit dem Hörgerät vorgespielt, sobald er die Starttaste S der Fernbedienung FB drückt. Jedes in der Sequenz enthaltene Hörbeispiel wird durch eine Ansage angekündigt. Diese Ansage lautet beispielsweise: "Es folgt leise Musik". Das Hörbeispiel einschließlich der Ansage wird so lange wiederholt, bis der Hörgeräteträger eine Weiter- bzw. die Speichertaste M drückt. Bis dahin hat der Hörgeräteträger die Möglichkeit, die Lautstärke für das spezielle Signal innerhalb eines vorgegebenen Rahmens so einzustellen, wie es für ihn angenehm ist. Die Ansage und die Einschränkung der Verstellbarkeit der Lautstärke sind unbedingt nötig, damit der Hörgeräteträger z. B. leise Signale nicht versehentlich auf normale Lautstärke "hochdreht".In the following, a setting process will now be described in detail. In this case, the hearing aid wearer is favorably played a sequence of test signals or sound samples with the hearing aid as soon as he presses the start button S of the remote control FB suppressed. Each audio sample contained in the sequence is announced by an announcement. For example, this announcement reads, "There follows soft music." The audio example including the announcement is repeated until the hearing aid wearer presses a continue or memory key M. Until then, the hearing aid wearer has the ability to adjust the volume for the particular signal within a given frame as he pleases. The announcement and the restriction of the adjustability of the volume are absolutely necessary, so that the hearing aid wearer z. B. quiet signals do not accidentally "turn up" to normal volume.

Nachdem der Hörgeräteträger die Weiter- oder Speichertaste M gedrückt hat, wird das nächste Hörbeispiel, das eine andere Hörsituation repräsentiert, wiedergegeben. Die Sequenz der darzubietenden Hörbeispiele kann wie folgt aussehen:

  • Sprache in Ruhe (normal, leise, laut)
  • Sprache in Störgeräusch (normal, leise, laut)
  • Verkehrsgeräusch (normal, leise, laut)
  • Naturgeräusch (normal, leise, laut)
  • Musik (normal, leise, laut)
  • Stille (Mikrofonrauschen!)
  • Telefon
    Nach dem Durchlauf einer derartigen Sequenz von Hörbeispielen entsteht so eine klassen- und pegelabhängige Modifikation der Verstärkungs- und Kompressionsparameter im Hörgerät, die z. B. als Voreinstellung für weitergehende Lern- und Trainingsalgorithmen genutzt werden können. Die Einstellprozedur kann beliebig oft wiederholt, neu gestartet und auch vorzeitig abgebrochen werden.
After the hearing aid wearer has pressed the continue or memory key M, the next audio sample that represents a different hearing situation is reproduced. The sequence of the audio examples to be presented may look like this:
  • Language at rest (normal, quiet, loud)
  • Speech in noise (normal, quiet, loud)
  • Traffic noise (normal, quiet, loud)
  • Natural sound (normal, quiet, loud)
  • Music (normal, quiet, loud)
  • Silence (microphone noise!)
  • phone
    After passing through such a sequence of sound samples, a class-dependent and level-dependent modification of the amplification and compression parameters in the hearing aid is produced. B. can be used as a preset for advanced learning and training algorithms. The setting procedure can be repeated, restarted and canceled prematurely.

Weiterhin ist eine "Reset"-Möglichkeit vorgesehen, mit der die Parameter wieder auf die vom Akustiker eingestellte Voreinstellung zurückgestellt werden können, um beispielsweise anfangs noch auftretende Fehlbedienungen rückgängig zu machen.Furthermore, a "reset" option is provided, with which the parameters can be reset to the preset by the acoustician to undo, for example, still occurring incorrect operations.

Erfindungsgemäß werden für die Einstellprozedur quasi reale Hörbeispiele verwendet, die zu beliebigen Zeitpunkten wiedergegeben werden können. Damit ergeben sich gegenüber bekannten Verfahren, bei denen Einstellmöglichkeiten nur während realer, aktueller Hörsituationen gegeben sind, folgende Vorteile:

  • Die erfindungsgemäße Trainingsprozedur mit quasi realen Hörbeispielen wird nicht als dauerhafte Korrektur nicht optimaler, damit störender und lästiger Einstellungen begriffen, sondern als eine bewusst gewählte Aktion, die der Hörgeräteträger mit voller Konzentration, jederzeit und in seiner gewünschten Umgebung durchführen kann.
  • Da die Testsignale reproduzierbar sind, prägen sie sich nach kurzer Zeit ein, was bei realen Signalen natürlich nicht der Fall ist. Je öfter der Hörgeräteträger die Trainingsprozedur durchläuft, desto gezielter und sicherer kann er die gewünschte Modifikation am Klang seines Hörgeräts vornehmen.
According to the invention, quasi-real sound examples are used for the setting procedure, which can be reproduced at arbitrary times. This results in comparison with known methods, in which adjustments are given only during real, current listening situations, the following advantages:
  • The training procedure according to the invention with quasi-real sound examples is not perceived as a permanent correction, thus disturbing and annoying settings, but as a deliberately chosen action that the hearing aid wearer can perform at full concentration, at any time and in his desired environment.
  • Since the test signals are reproducible, they are imprinted after a short time, which of course is not the case with real signals. The more often the hearing device wearer goes through the training procedure, the more targeted and reliable he can make the desired modification to the sound of his hearing aid.
