20090028362 | Hearing device with a visualized psychoacoustic variable and corresponding method - The setting and/or adjustment of a hearing device for a user is provided. The hearing device includes a signal processing facility for processing an input sound to form an output sound, with a perceptive model being implemented in the signal processing facility or in a processing facility connected in a data link therewith, with which perceptive model a psychoacoustic variable can be provided in respect of the output sound. A visualization facility, for instance integrated in a remote control comprising the processing facility, is preferably wirelessly connected to the signal processing facility. A value of the psychoacoustic variable can thus be visualized accordingly. In this way an assisting person obtains an item of information relating to the perception of the sound supplied by the hearing device by the user, as a result of which the setting is facilitated for the assisting person. | 01-29-2009 |
20090028363 | Method for setting a hearing system with a perceptive model for binaural hearing and corresponding hearing system - A hearing system is provided that includes a left device that supplies an electrical sound signal for supplying the left ear of the user, and a right device that supplies an electrical sound signal for supplying the right ear of the user. A perceptive model for binaural hearing is implemented at least in one of the two devices or a further device belonging to the hearing system, with which a left setting value for the left device and/or a right setting value for the right device can be determined on the basis of the two sound signals. The left device can then be set with the left setting value and/or the right device with the right setting value. The entire process of the binaural hearing and not only the monaural hearing is thus taken into consideration for the setting of the hearing system. | 01-29-2009 |
20090034767 | Method for adapting a hearing aid by a perceptive model - The provision of an individually adapted hearing aid for a patient is intended to be effected more quickly. A method is therefore provided by which, firstly, hearing loss data, in particular an audiogram, are generated by a person skilled in the art for example an ENT specialist, and the hearing loss data are transmitted to a manufacturer. Using a perceptive model based on the hearing loss data, the manufacturer selects a hearing aid and matches the hearing aid to the patient by means of the perceptive model. Finally, the manufacturer delivers the adapted hearing aid directly or indirectly to the patient. Due to the simplified workflow during the adaptation, the waiting times for the provision of the hearing aid are reduced for the patient. | 02-05-2009 |
20100027821 | Hearing aid and method for operating a hearing aid - The invention relates to a method for a hearing aid wearer to actively operate a hearing aid. A signal processing section of the hearing aid has a demixing module for separating audio signals and a postprocessor module which sets up a hold mode of operation for the hearing aid. An audio signal, which is preferred by the hearing aid wearer, from an ambient sound, is tracked and selected by virtue of the hearing aid wearer transmitting to the hearing aid a command which sets up the hold mode of operation in the signal processing section of the hearing aid for a certain period. The signal processing section tracks the preferred audio signal and selectively takes account of it in an output sound from the hearing aid such that it is audibly highlighted for the hearing aid wearer in comparison with another audio signal and is thereby perceived better. | 02-04-2010 |
20100034406 | Method for Operating a Hearing Aid, And Hearing Aid - The invention relates to a method for operating a hearing aid. A local source operating mode is established by a signal processing section of the hearing aid for tracking and selecting a local acoustic source of an ambient sound. Electrical acoustic signals from which the local acoustic source is determined by the signal processing section are generated by the hearing aid from the detected ambient sound. The local acoustic source is selectively taken into account by the signal processing section in an output sound of the hearing aid such that the local acoustic source is at least acoustically prominent and is therefore better perceived compared to another acoustic source for a hearing aid wearer. | 02-11-2010 |
20100098262 | METHOD AND HEARING DEVICE FOR PARAMETER ADAPTATION BY DETERMINING A SPEECH INTELLIGIBILITY THRESHOLD - A method and a hearing device are proposed to adapt at least one hearing device parameter. A first speech intelligibility threshold is determined. The determined first speech intelligibility threshold is compared with a predefinable reference value and is adapted the at least one hearing device parameter on the basis of the comparison. This is advantageous in that hearing device parameters, which could previously not be individually set as a result of objective measuring data, can be adjusted by an objective measurement. | 04-22-2010 |
20100098276 | Hearing Apparatus Controlled by a Perceptive Model and Corresponding Method - A hearing device including a signal processing device for processing an input signal and generating an output signal and a modeling device in which a perceptive model is implemented, in order to generate a psycho-acoustic value for controlling the signal processing device, is provided. Data mapping of the hearing loss, in particular audiogram data, are input into the modeling device and the perceptive model determines the psycho-acoustic value for controlling the signal processing device based on the data from the data mapping and the output signal. | 04-22-2010 |
