Definitions
- the present invention relates to an acoustical module configured to separate sound pressure signals from external sources.
- the present invention relates to an acoustical module where the influence of self-generated signals is attenuated.
- EP 2 843 971 A1 Various arrangements involving two sound detectors have been suggested over the years. Examples of prior art references are EP 2 843 971 A1 , GB 1 383 473 A , US 2001/0008559 A1 and WO 01/01732 A1 with EP 2 843 971 A1 being the most relevant reference.
- EP 2 843 971 A1 discloses in paragraph [0035] that attenuation between a rear and a front inlet mav be provided bv positioning a damping material in the fluid channel leading from the rear inlet to a microphone diaphragm in order to provide a passive attenuation of 3 dB or more.
- the implementation suggested in EP 2 843 971 A1 is however disadvantageous in that the damping material is provided in an interior fluid channel which makes the implementation of EP 2 843 971 A1 a complete static solution in that the damping material may not be replaced in case other acoustical properties of the hearing aid device are required.
- Such self-generated signals may involve acoustical signals and vibration signals.
- the acoustical module of the present invention is thus adapted to receive incoming acoustical pressure signals via a plurality of microphone units and regenerate the received signal via the receiver unit.
- the acoustical module of the present invention may be applicable in relation to hearing devices, such as various types of hearing aids.
- pressure pick-up points are to be understood as openings and/or holes through which incoming acoustical pressure signals are allowed to enter the acoustical module.
- at least one microphone unit may be acoustically connected to each of the pressure pick-up points.
- acoustical pressure signals are to be understood as acoustical sound/audio signals representing for example speech, music etc.
- the receiver unit may comprise a single receiver or a plurality of receivers.
- a single receiver a single acoustical signal and a signal vibration signal is generated.
- a plurality of receivers may collectively generate both acoustical signals and vibration signals. The contribution of all receivers may be combined into a total acoustic signal and a total vibration signal.
- the acoustical filter may advantageously be positioned between the first and the second acoustical pressure pick-up points. In this manner an incoming acoustical signal may be attenuated upon passing the acoustical filter so that the acoustical pressure pick-up points receive an incoming acoustical signal with different strengths.
- a first microphone unit may be acoustically connected to the first acoustical pressure pick-up point
- a second microphone unit may be acoustically connected to the second acoustical pressure pick-up point.
- Dome shaped structures may exhibit additional properties in relation to the acoustical module.
- the acoustical module may further comprise an additional acoustical filter and a third acoustical pressure pick-up point being acoustically connected to a microphone unit.
- the additional acoustical filter may either be positioned between the second and the third acoustical pressure pick-up points or between the first and second pressure pick-up points.
- acoustical filters can be placed between all off the pressure pick-up points. By applying more than two acoustical pressure pick-up points the suppression of the unwanted signals can be further improved.
- the reconstruction of the head-related transfer function (HRTF) could be at least partly achieved which is otherwise lost due to the fact that the microphone units are not at the exact position of the ear drum.
- additional acoustical pressure pick-up points may also be used to generate another desired directionality of the acoustical module.
- the additional acoustical filter may form part of a dome shaped structure or it may be attached to a dome shaped structure being shaped in a manner so that it supports fixation of the acoustical module in an ear channel.
- the plurality of microphone units may comprise omni-directional microphone units and/or directional microphone units.
- a sleeve may be provided to ease fixation of a dome to the exterior of the acoustical module.
- the dome may either comprise or have an acoustical filter attached thereto.
- the sleeve may be manufactured using an injection mouldable material, such as a polymer material.
- the sleeve and the dome form a one-piece component.
- the plurality of acoustical pressure pick-up points may act as one or more venting holes for the receiver unit.
- the acoustical module comprises for example two acoustical pressure pick-up points a single or both of these pressure pick-up points may be used for venting the receiver unit.
- the acoustical module comprises for example three acoustical pressure pick-up points one, two or three pressure pick-up points may be used for venting the receiver unit.
- a plurality of dedicated venting holes may act as one or more venting holes for the receiver unit may be provided.
- the acoustical module may further comprise a protection arrangement for preventing dust or other impurities to enter the plurality of acoustical pressure pick-up points.
- the protection arrangement may comprise a number of barrier structures being either secured to or forming part of the sleeve.
- the present invention relates to a hearing device comprising an acoustical module according to the first aspect.
- the hearing device may comprise a hearing aid of any type, including in-the-channel (ITC) type hearing aids.
- ITC in-the-channel
- the present invention relates to an acoustical module being capable of suppressing self-generated acoustical signal and self-generated vibrations.
- the acoustical module comprises a sound generating receiver and two acoustical pressure pick-up points where acoustical sound is allowed to enter the module.
- One or more acoustical filters are provided between the acoustical pressure pick-up points.
- Each of the two acoustical pressure pick-up points picks up the following signals:
- the acoustical module of the present invention is adapted to be positioned inside the ear channel. In this position the two acoustical pressure pick-up points form an outer pick-up point, A, and an inner pick-up point, B.
- each of the two acoustical pressure pick-up points will pick up a self-generated acoustical receiver signal, S Rec , acc , a self-generated vibration receiver signal, S Rec, v ib , and the external acoustical sound, S Ext .
- S MicA S Rec , acc A + S Rec , vib A + S Ext A
- S MicB S Rec . acc B + S Rec . vib B + S Ext B
- S MicA and S MicB are microphone signals being acoustically connected to the acoustical pressure pick-up points A and B, respectively.
- an artificial microphone signal can be calculated from two acoustical pressure pick-up points, which does not contain a self-generated component originating from the receiver.
- S Mic art S A ⁇ ⁇ Rec A ⁇ B ⁇ S B
- N Mic art N MicA 2 + ⁇ Rec A ⁇ B ⁇ N MicB 2
- N Mic art N Mic 1 + ⁇ Rec A ⁇ B 2
- SNR Mic A S Ext A N Mic
- SNR Mic art S Ext A N Mic ⁇ 1 ⁇ ⁇ Rec A ⁇ B ⁇ Ext B ⁇ A 1 + ⁇ Rec A ⁇ B 2
- the SNR of the acoustical module can be optimized by adding a filtering element, which reduces the external sound signal in pressure pick-up point B relative to pressure pick-up point A, whereby minimizing the term ⁇ Ext B ⁇ A as well as the SNR of the artificial microphone.
- the robustness of the suppression of the receiver signals can be further improved.
- the reconstruction of the HRTF could be at least partly achieved, which is partially lost due to the fact that the microphones are not at the exact position of the ear drum. Additional acoustical pressure pick-up points could also be used to generate another desired directionality of the acoustical module.
- the SNR of the acoustical module can be improved by adding a damping and/or a filtering element between the acoustical pressure pick-up points A and B in order to reduce the external sound signal in pressure pick-up point B relative to pressure pick-up point A.
- a suitable filtering element may be implemented as a dome as already used in today's receiver-in-channel (RIC) hearing aids to hold the receiver in place.
- any other acoustic sealing/filtering element or another support element to hold the acoustic module in a certain position relative to the ear canal may be applied as a filter.
- This type of dome may be seen as a passive acoustic element.
- the dome provides an acoustic resistance, a mass and a compliance which is mainly defined by the leakage around the dome and through-going openings/holes in the dome.
- the openings/holes can be designed in such a way, that a wanted combined resistance/mass/compliance is achieved.
- the created effective acoustic filter is defined by these values and the surrounding acoustic environment.
- an acoustic filtering element such as a dome
- a beneficial change in signal attenuation between the two pick-up points can be achieved.
- the influence of self-generated acoustic and vibration feedback signals can be suppressed by proper signal processing.

- Fig. 1 Several advantages are associated with the arrangement depicted in Fig. 1 . Firstly, the wearing comfort and/or the retention force of the acoustical module are both improved. The reason for this being that two domes leads to an increase of the surface touching the ear channel. This increased surface area can either be used to reduce the local contact pressure while keeping the retention force at the same level as with a single dome, or to increase the retention force without increasing the contact pressure. Secondly, the stable positioning of the acoustical pressure pick-up points relative to the ear channel prevents blockage of the pick-up points.
