In a hearing aid ( 100 ), a control device ( 4 ) comprises a transmission characteristic calculator ( 18 ), a correction characteristic calculator ( 21 ), and a correction component ( 17 ). The transmission characteristic calculator ( 18 ) calculates an at-fitting transmission characteristic Gf (ω) on the basis of correction-use sound data and first sound data produced by collection at an ear canal microphone ( 10 ) of correction-use sound outputted from a receiver ( 3 ) during fitting. The transmission characteristic calculator ( 18 ) calculates an in-usage transmission characteristic Gu (ω) on the basis of correction-use sound data and third sound data produced by collection at the ear canal microphone ( 10 ) of correction-use sound outputted from the receiver ( 3 ) according to user operation after fitting. The correction characteristic calculator ( 21 ) calculates a correction characteristic H (ω) on the basis of the at-fitting transmission characteristic Gf (ω) and the in-usage transmission characteristic Gu (ω). The correction component ( 17 ) corrects input sound data that has undergone hearing aid processing by a hearing aid processor ( 16 ) on the basis of the correction characteristic H (ω).

Magnetofluidic hearing aid system and hearing aid

Номер: US20120029268A1
Автор: Andreas Tiefenau, Matthias Mueller-Wehlau
Принадлежит: Siemens Medical Instruments Pte Ltd

A magnetofluidic hearing aid system includes a hearing aid having a signal processing device connected to a magnetic transmitter. The system includes such a hearing aid and a magnetofluid suitable for use in the body. The magnetic transmitter transmits a magnetic field producing vibrations in a liquid mixture containing the magnetofluid. The liquid mixture is operatively introduced into a cochlea, and the vibrations are suitable for triggering an auditory perception in the cochlea. Acoustic feedback is precluded as a result of the transmitter producing neither acoustic signals nor mechanical vibrations. A functional impairment caused by physical influences such as soiling, for example, of an acoustic receiver, is also precluded. Problems arising from impaired contact with the body are prevented from the beginning by the non-contact signal transmission. A hearing aid supply is also advantageously enabled regardless of the functional capability of the middle ear apparatus.

Hearing instrument with mechanical and remote-controllable volume adjustment

Номер: US20120033838A1
Автор: Andreas Speckert, Heike Hauermann
Принадлежит: Siemens Medical Instruments Pte Ltd

A hearing instrument, e.g. a hearing aid, has a mechanical, manually actuated volume setting element and also remote control volume adjustment. The volume setting element is a control dial with a fixed assignment of the respective rotational position to a respective volume setting. An adjustment by remote control changes the volume setting but not the position of the control dial. This results in the problem that the normally fixed assignment of the respective position of the control dial to the respective volume setting no longer holds true. If there is once again an adjustment by control dial after the volume setting was changed by remote control and the volume prescribed by the control dial is then set, unpleasant jumps in volume may therefore occur. Such jumps in volume are avoided by the following steps: detecting a change in the rotational position of the control dial, establishing a current rotational position of the control dial during the change, comparing the current rotational position to a comparison rotational position, changing the volume setting of the hearing instrument in accordance with the current rotational position only if the current rotational position has, at least momentarily, assumed the comparison rotational position.

Принадлежит: Siemens Medical Instruments Pte Ltd

A hearing instrument has an integral injection-molding casing. The hearing instrument fixes the internal components in an integral casing that is simple in design, production, and assembly; requires few components; and is easy to handle. Accordingly the hearing instrument contains an integral casing and a frame arranged within the casing. The casing has an assembly opening through which the frame is pushed into the casing. Additionally, the casing has a fixation opening oriented perpendicular to the insertion direction, which fixation opening interacts with a fixation device arranged on the frame in order to fix the frame in the casing. This provides a simple fixation mechanism. The fixation opening can be applied as a bore after the production of the casing, and so the casing has no undercuts and can therefore be produced in an injection-molding method. The fixation device can be embodied as a bolt. The bolt can be integrally molded onto the frame. The bolt can be inserted into the fixation opening by a spring force. In one embodiment, a microphone to be assembled after the frame has been inserted into the casing serves as a bolt.

An improved hearing aid device adapted for use within the ear canal of the CIC (Completely In the ear) and of the partially exposed ITC (In The Canal) type. This aid consists of a system of integrated parts allowing an air gap to substantially surround the hearing aid shell and air passages which communicate with the inner ear minimizing occlusion sensations and providing the user with an enhanced natural hearing experience. A key aspect of this device is the provision of air passages in the mounting insert which securely positions the hearing aid shell in the wearer's canal. These passages are designed to stay open after insertion of the aid in the ear canal. In use, unamplified sound from the outside passes around the hearing aid shell, through the air passages in the mounting insert blending with the amplified sound emanating from the receiver. The area of air passages in the mounting insert can be tailored by the technician adapting to the hearing loss characteristics of the user. Surprisingly, acoustic feedback is mitigated in spite of the openness of this novel design.

Method for Matching a Hearing Apparatus By Percentile Analysis and Matching Apparatus

Номер: US20130208934A1
Автор: Josef Chalupper
Принадлежит: Siemens Medical Instruments Pte Ltd

High-quality adjustment of a hearing apparatus, and in particular of a hearing aid, is accelerated. In the adjusting method, a percentile analysis is carried out in order to obtain at least one frequency response of the hearing apparatus. Any discrepancy between the frequency response and an intended gain characteristic is determined. The setting of the hearing apparatus is then changed, such that the discrepancy is reduced. In order to check the effect of the setting change, a current frequency response after variation of the setting is determined by providing a constant noise signal or a single sinusoidal sweep at the input of the hearing apparatus and level measurement at the output. This frequency response measurement can be carried out as a second step considerably more quickly than the very precise percentile analysis at the start of the process.
