Definitions
- the invention relates to a hearing aid with an input transducer for receiving an input signal and conversion into an electrical signal, a signal processing unit for signal processing of the electrical signal and an output transducer for generating a perceptible by a user of the hearing aid as an acoustic signal output signal. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for setting such a hearing aid device and a mobile drive unit for the automatic adjustment of operating parameters of a hearing aid.
- an input signal is received by means of an input transducer and converted into an electrical input signal.
- an input transducer usually serves as an input transducer at least one microphone which receives an acoustic input signal.
- Modern hearing aids often comprise a microphone system with a plurality of microphones in order to achieve a direction dependent on the direction of arrival of acoustic signals reception, a directional characteristic.
- the input transducers may also include a telecoil or antenna for receiving electromagnetic input signals.
- the input signals converted by the input transducer into electrical input signals are fed to a signal processing unit for further processing and amplification. The further processing and amplification takes place to compensate for the individual hearing loss of a Höragistechnikitatis usually in response to the signal frequency.
- the signal processing unit outputs an electrical output signal, which is fed via an output transducer to the hearing of the hearing aid wearer, so that the latter perceives the output signal as an acoustic signal.
- output transducers usually listeners are used, which generate an acoustic output signal.
- output transducers for generating mechanical vibrations are also known, which directly excite certain parts of the ear, such as the ossicles, to vibrate.
- output transducers are known which directly stimulate neurons of the ear.
- a hearing aid is known with a microphone, a signal processing unit and a handset, in which different parameter inserts can be stored in a memory for adapting the signal processing unit to different listening situations.
- the hearing aid is thereby equipped with different hearing programs for different listening situations, which can be switched manually.
- a hearing aid which has a signal analysis unit for automatically switching between different hearing programs, which recognizes the current hearing situation and selects a suitable hearing program.
- US 5,721,783 is a hearing aid with a wirelessly connected remote control known.
- the remote control can be connected to a variety of sensors and peripherals to provide requested or unsolicited information.
- information about the position of a user may be transmitted by specially trained broadcasters at specific points in a retirement home, or a self-contained, user-assisted gyroscope, accelerometer and compass inertial navigation system or GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver may be used.
- GPS Global Positioning System
- Out DE 100 48 341 C1 is a hearing aid known that detects the automatic selection of a hearing program, whether it is located in the vicinity of an external transmitter.

- D-GPS Different GPS
- An object of the present invention is to specify a method for setting a hearing aid device and a hearing aid device, in which the adaptation of the signal processing to different hearing ranges is improved.
- the adaptation of the signal processing of the hearing aid to different spatial hearing areas is carried out by setting at least one parameter influencing the signal processing of the hearing aid.
- a satellite based positioning system is provided for generating a position signal. This is generated and evaluated to automatically adjust the parameter depending on the position signal.
- the method according to the invention has the advantage that the adjustment of the parameter does not occur manually. Furthermore, it has the advantage that the setting does not depend on the particular hearing situation that is recorded by the input transducer. This is particularly advantageous when the automatic detection of a hearing situation is not clear and thus the hearing aid is operated with a wrong parameter. Another advantage is that no external, specially adapted to the hearing aid transmitter are used, but that the worldwide accessible network of satellites for satellite positioning is used. This has a particularly advantageous effect on the structure of the hearing aid, since the Hearing aid either with an integrated satellite positioning system can be formed in a component or operated with an additional external hearing aid module with a satellite positioning system and can exchange information. Depending on the form of training, the position determination system transmits information about the position of the integrated unit or the hearing aid module.
- the position signal is transmitted continuously or at intervals pulsed.
- the former has the advantage that position changes can immediately affect the setting of the parameter, the latter procedure consumes less energy.
- the information about the position from the position signal in the position determination system itself is determined and transmitted, for example in the form of global coordinates to the signal processing unit.
- This has the advantage that a conventional positioning system can be used.
- a kind of raw information is transmitted to the signal processing unit and there the information about the position is extracted.
- the requirements for the position determining system are lower, so that e.g. a more energy-efficient implementation is possible.
- One advantage is that the essential calculations are performed with only one signal processing unit, namely that of the hearing aid, so that the calculation is efficiently controlled and e.g. can only be done if necessary.
- the adjustment of the parameter causes a signal processing that is adapted to an acoustic situation in the listening area.
- the acoustic situation can be determined, for example, by acoustic signals which are to be processed optimally. For example, in a TV room on the TV adapted output signal to be generated in a conference room especially input signals from interlocutors are optimally processed or on a sports field to different hearing programs are set at different locations.
- the adjustment of the parameter is part of a hearing program setting of a hearing program, which is stored in particular in the signal processing unit of the hearing aid. Accordingly, the method may set a set of parameters that together define the listening program.
- a hearing program is to be understood as meaning both a permanently set amplification profile and a functional signal processing which continuously adapts to further environmental parameters.
- At least one of the auditory regions is defined in its two- or three-dimensional extent. That is, a spatial area, such as the living room, or an area, such as a soccer field, is e.g. defined with its boundary coordinates or via a geometry with respect to a reference point. The listening area will then be given an adjustment of the parameter, i. e.g. a value or function.
- the extent of the hearing range can be entered using global coordinates, for example, by means of a hearing aid programming unit.
- at least one position of the satellite-supported position-determining system can be stored in order to hold, for example, the corner coordinates of the soccer field.
- the parameter setting is maintained until the position signal indicates a position outside the listening area. For example, when leaving the listening area, "TV room" can be automatically switched back to a previously used parameter setting. Alternatively, it is possible to switch to a parameter setting based on an automatic analysis of the hearing situation. Alternatively, furthermore, a parameter setting can be maintained so long after leaving a first audible range until a position signal indicates a position within a second audible range, so that when changing to this second audible range, the operation of the hearing aid with at least one new parameter setting.
- the position determination with the satellite-based positioning system is differential, i. using a reference unit that reports runtime errors in the satellite signal.
- a delay compensation can be calculated due to different influence of different frequency bands.
- a higher accuracy can be achieved via a so-called assisted position determination, for example by using signals from the mobile network.
- information about an orientation of the hearing aid in two or three dimensions is taken into account as additional information when setting the parameter.
- This can be done for example by a compass and / or a tilt sensor.
- the parameter setting is made dependent on whether eye contact exists to the acoustic source (for example, high / low gain) or whether the user looks away from the sound source (eg low / high gain).
- the embodiment of the hearing aid in which the satellite-based position determination system is housed in a hearing aid module, further has, for example, the advantage that the hearing aid module can be stored in a listening area in order to provide the user with the appropriate parameter setting during signal processing despite leaving the listening area , For example, if an audio signal from a TV is used directly as an input signal, then the audio signal can be processed with a parameter adapted to the television also outside the listening area.
- FIG. 1 schematically shows a hearing aid 1 with an input transducer (microphone) 3 for receiving an input signal and conversion to an electrical signal, a signal processing unit 5 for signal processing of the electrical signal and an output transducer (earphone) 7 for generating a by a user of the hearing aid 1 as an acoustic signal perceptible output signal.
- the signal processing is adapted with at least one parameter P to different spatial listening areas.
- a satellite-supported position determination system 9 is provided which generates a position signal S (X, Y, Z) and transmits it to the signal processing unit 5.
- the signal processing unit 5 evaluates the position signal S (X, Y, Z) and automatically sets the parameter as a function of the position signal S (X, Y, Z).
- the signal processing for example, a memory in which different listening areas H i , ... are defined in their geometric dimensions and their global locations.
- the memory unit 11 can also be arranged within the satellite-supported position determination system 9.
- the positioning system 9 can be integrated as a structural unit 1A in the hearing aid 1 or it can be designed as independently designed Höranges réellemodul, wherein the hearing aid 1 via a cable or wirelessly transmitted the position signal S (X, Y, Z) and / or with the Hearing aid 1 exchanges information.
- the positioning system 9 receives radio frequency signals from a plurality of satellites 19 and determines from these signals his current position.
- the information about the position is transmitted as a position signal S (X, Y, Z) to the signal processing 5.
- Additional information which may influence the setting of the parameter is, for example, the orientation of the head-mounted component of the hearing aid 1. This is measured for example via a compass 13. Additionally or alternatively, the orientation may be determined via a tilt sensor 15 in a vertical plane.
- Such sensors can be integrated into a hearing aid 1 without much effort.
- the orientation of the hearing aid and thus, for example, the viewing direction of a user of the hearing aid 1 can now be determined and thus set in relation to a sound source whose spatial position is also known. The thus recognized acoustic situation can be evaluated in such a way that optimum adjustment of the signal processing is ensured by setting the parameter.
- the dependence of the parameter on the position signal can for example be entered with a programming unit 17.
- the programming can be carried out, for example, via the normal hearing device programming interface, eg also wirelessly according to the Bluetooth standard.
- the dependence can also be stored as a functional assignment, so that, for example, with increasing distance from a location, the amplification of the signal processing 5 is increased. This corresponds to a parameter setting due to a relative change in the position of the positioning system to a predetermined coordinate.
- listening areas can be defined, ie areas or volumes can be defined in which a specific value is to be taken by the parameter. If all parameters of a hearing program are defined for a listening area, then this hearing area is as it were assigned a hearing program. Once the user or the positioning system stops in this listening area, then takes place signal processing according to the hearing program.
- FIG. 2 For example, a rectangular area is determined by the coordinates of the corners X1, X2, X3 and X4.
- the corner coordinates X3 and X4 are also corner coordinates of a second listening area B.
- a listening area C is defined by a circle around the point (X R , Y R) of radius R, where all points within the circle are not simultaneously in one of the listening areas A or B, are defined as listening area C.
- FIG. 2 a differential position determination using the satellites 19 and a transmitter 23.
- the transmitter 23 transmits a hearing aid 25 (carrier not shown) according to the invention within the listening area A in addition an error signal 27, wherein the error signal 27 runtime error of the satellite signals of the satellite 19 includes.
- the error signal 27 is generated using a satellite-based reference positioning system 29. Due to the fixed position of the external transmitter 23, erroneous transit times can be calculated by matching the known position of the transmitter 23 with the received signals from the satellites 19.
- the improvement of the accuracy with the aid of a ground station is also referred to as differential position determination.
- the calculation of such runtime errors can also be achieved by the use of different frequency bands. Alternatively, you can also call a moving receiver as an auxiliary signal.
- FIG. 3 The invention illustrates an example of a football field D.
- the football field D itself is expired at the beginning of the game, wherein the positioning system operates in a mode in which the coordinates of the route are stored. Alternatively, the area D could be through the four coordinates the corner posts are entered. If the player (hearing device user) is on football field D, his hearing aid is in football mode.
- a second area E is defined around the exchange banks 31. For listening area E, two sub-listening programs are additionally defined as a function of the orientation of the hearing aid in the room: on the one hand a football observation mode and on the other a conversation mode.
- the user's angle of vision to the football field (head 33) or to a conversation partner (head 35) can be determined.
- different hearing programs (or settings of parameters) are made.
- FIG. 4 illustrates the use of three-dimensional listening areas F, G and H. This is particularly advantageous if 41 spatially superimposed listening areas are to be defined within a building.
- the listening area F corresponds to the parameter setting in a canteen, the listening area G to the parameter setting in an office, etc.
- FIG. 5 illustrates the additional use of a tilt sensor in the hearing aid, which can determine the inclination angle ⁇ of the head.
- the angle of inclination affects the setting of a television listening program which extends around a television 51 within a radius of a few meters.
- the television listening program is set within the listening area only when the user, such as user 51, watches the TV sitting upright with a head tilt angle ⁇ .
- User 53 on the other hand, lies on a sofa, so that his inclination of the head (head angle ⁇ ') does not lead to the television listening program.
- the tilt sensor can interact with an electric compass so that an operator lying on the sofa and watching the television also listens in the television listening program.
- FIG. 5 it is made clear that, for example, user 51 has stored his satellite-supported position determination system 55 designed as a hearing aid module on a television table. As long as the positioning system 55 remains there, the user's hearing aid 51 is set to the television mode even when the user 51 leaves the room.
- FIG. 6 illustrates two further embodiments of the invention.
- a bus driver 61 with the position determination system 63 can make the setting of hearing parameters as a function of the speed.
