Moreover, the present invention relates to a corresponding method for reducing noise when wearing a hearing aid.
  • Hearing aids are portable hearing aids that are used to care for the hearing impaired.
  • different types of hearing aids such as behind-the-ear hearing aids (BTE), in-the-ear hearing aids (IDO) and Concha hearing aids are provided.

  • Concha hearing aids are provided.
  • the hearing aids listed by way of example are worn on the outer ear or in the ear canal.
  • bone conduction hearing aids, implantable or vibrotactile hearing aids are also available on the market. The stimulation of the damaged hearing takes place either mechanically or electrically.
  • Hearing aids have in principle as essential components an input transducer, an amplifier and an output transducer.
  • the input transducer is usually a sound receiver, z. As a microphone, and / or an electromagnetic receiver, for. B. an induction coil.
  • the output transducer is usually used as an electroacoustic transducer, z. As miniature speaker, or as an electromechanical transducer, z. B. bone conduction, realized.

In a hearing aid housing 1 for carrying behind the ear, one or more microphones 2 for receiving the sound from the environment are installed.

  • in-the-ear hearing device or in the earmold for a behind-the-ear hearing device.
  • it is intended to be used for an imaginary circular opening equivalent to one or more actual openings such as those found in open-circuited appliances.
  • Noise suppression techniques are well known for hearing aids. As a rule, the interference in the microphone signal is suppressed and reproduced in a reduced manner. Low-frequency direct sound, which passes the hearing aid over to the eardrum, can not be suppressed in this way. Rather, this is further intensified by the increased playback of the hearing aid.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to propose a hearing aid which receives an electrical or electromagnetic useful signal and is better prevented in the disturbing direct sound. Furthermore, a corresponding Störschallunterd Wegungs vide should be presented.
  • this object is achieved by a hearing device having a useful signal interface for receiving an electrical or electromagnetic useful signal, a microphone for receiving a noise and a receiver for outputting a processed useful signal, wherein when wearing the hearing aid in or on the ear a Vent is formed by the a Sound transmission function is given by the microphone to the eardrum of the hearing aid wearer, and a filter which is connected between the microphone and the listener and whose transfer function is formed depending on the sound transmission function of the Vents such that a passing through the vent to the eardrum noise by a compensating sound which is generated on the basis of a noise signal from the microphone of the listener, is reduced in an effect on the eardrum.
  • the invention provides a method for reducing background noise when wearing a hearing aid by receiving an electrical or electromagnetic useful signal by the hearing aid, recording a noise by a microphone of the hearing aid and outputting a processed useful signal from a handset of the hearing aid, wherein when wearing the hearing aid in or on the ear a Vent is formed, through which a sound transmission function is given by the microphone to the eardrum of the hearing aid wearer, and by filtering the noise signal of the microphone as a function of the sound transmission function of the Vents such that a passing through the vent to the eardrum noise by a compensation sound, which is generated on the basis of a noise signal from the microphone by the listener, is reduced in its effect on the eardrum.
  • a significant reduction of low-frequency direct sound when wearing hearing aids can be achieved by the hearing aid according to the invention and the inventive method.
  • the extent of the reduction depends on the parameters of the respective hearing aid, z. B. Vent diameter, hearing aid type, etc., from.
  • Another advantage of the proposed solution is that no additional hardware components are needed on the hearing aid, since the already existing on a hearing aid external microphone is used to record the noise.
  • the signal processing effort to run the hearing aid is very low, since the determination of the filter (digital filter) is made in advance based on the parameters of the hearing aid configuration.
  • the hearing aid improved according to the invention can be designed for open supply. This is especially the case with a high-frequency supply.
  • the direct sound can reach the eardrum almost unhindered, but according to the invention it is effectively suppressed as far as necessary by the compensating sound.

  • the handset H is arranged in the ear or in the auditory canal in the present example, while the remaining part of the hearing aid is outside the ear.
  • the processed useful signal is converted in the receiver H into a useful sound and transmitted acoustically within the auditory canal to the eardrum TF of the hearing aid wearer.
  • the interference signal or ambient signal is recorded with the hearing aid microphone MI, and the resulting interference sound signal is amplified and digitized in an amplifier and A / D converter AD.
  • the digital interference signal is subjected in a filter F for active interference suppression to filtering with the transfer function H_anc. After filtering, the signal is subtracted from the processed payload signal of the signal processor SP in a subtracter SU, i. H. added in antiphase, and in this form also reproduced on the listener H.
  • the hearing aid shell or the otoplastic of the hearing aid has a vent for ventilation, or there is directly open supply. Therefore, the noise can also go directly through the vent or the opening in the ear to the eardrum TF.
  • H_vent For direct sound through the vent results in a transfer function H_vent, which leads to that in the first Low-frequency sound passes through this direct path to the tympanic membrane TF.
  • the transfer function H_anc is set in the filter F in such a way that the reproduced signal is canceled out in phase opposition to the signal which has been passed acoustically through the (equivalent) vent to the tympanic membrane TF.

  • the digital filter F can be found by standard methods of signal processing. This is characterized by the corresponding filter coefficients.
  • the hearing aid system specific parameters are also used to determine a threshold from which the override of the loudspeaker H is expected. Accordingly, according to FIG. 4 in the filter design FD also obtained from the input variables, an overdrive threshold. This overdrive threshold is then stored in the level limiter PB (cf. FIG. 3 ) is used to limit the filter output signal.
  • the useful signal is coupled by radio into the hearing aid.
  • the ambient sound is mainly disturbing.
