Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more apparent, the present application is described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.
Fig. 1 is a flow chart of a method of configuring hearing parameters of a hearing device according to an embodiment. The configuration method of the hearing parameters of the hearing device in the embodiment may be applied to hearing devices such as a hearing aid, a sound amplifier, and an earphone. The hearing device is provided with a master control chip, which can execute the configuration method of the hearing parameters of the hearing device in this embodiment. As shown in fig. 1, the method for configuring hearing parameters of a hearing device in this embodiment includes steps 102 to 106.
Step 102, providing hearing parameters suitable for the hearing of the left ear of the user and hearing parameters suitable for the hearing of the right ear of the user.
The hearing parameters may include at least one of hearing compensation parameters and equalizer parameters.
Specifically, although a hearing device used by a hearing-impaired user generally has an amplification function, the output gain is limited, and therefore, it is necessary to compensate the output gain of sound, specifically, the output gain of an amplifier for amplifying the sound volume is compensated, and a hearing compensation curve matches with a hearing curve of the hearing-impaired user, so that the hearing-impaired user can hear a target sound more clearly after hearing compensation.
The Equalizer (EQ) can adjust the amount of amplification of the electrical signals of various frequency components, compensate the defects of the loudspeaker and sound field by adjusting the electrical signals of various frequencies, and compensate and modify various sound sources. The equalizer parameters may then be adjustment parameters for the electrical signals corresponding to various frequencies of sound.
The hearing instrument may be provided with a memory unit and the hearing parameters may be stored in the memory unit of the hearing instrument. The hearing device also can have a communication function, and can store the hearing parameters in a terminal or a cloud, so that the hearing device can download the corresponding hearing parameters.
Specifically, the hearing device may be a left-ear hearing device or a right-ear hearing device, and the step of providing the hearing parameters suitable for the left-ear hearing of the user and the hearing parameters suitable for the right-ear hearing of the user is to provide the hearing parameters suitable for the left-ear hearing of the user and the hearing parameters suitable for the right-ear hearing of the user for the left-ear hearing device and store the hearing parameters in the left-ear hearing device, or provide the hearing parameters suitable for the left-ear hearing of the user and the hearing parameters suitable for the right-ear hearing of the user for the right-ear hearing device and store the hearing parameters in the right-ear hearing device.
The left ear hearing device is a hearing device with a shell contour matched with the left ear of a user, the right ear hearing device is a hearing device with a shell contour matched with the right ear of the user, hearing parameters suitable for the left ear hearing of the user and hearing parameters suitable for the right ear hearing of the user are stored in the left ear hearing device and the right ear hearing device, and the hearing devices can be suitable for the two ears of the user no matter whether the hearing devices are the left ear hearing devices or the right ear hearing devices.
Step 104, detecting whether the hearing device is worn on the left ear or the right ear of the user.
In particular, it may be detected whether the hearing device is worn in the left or right ear of the user by detecting the orientation of the hearing device. The orientation of the hearing instrument may be detected by providing the hearing instrument with an orientation sensor, in particular a gravity sensor. When the acceleration direction of the X axis, the acceleration direction of the Y axis and the acceleration direction of the Z axis of the gravity sensor are detected to be matched with the preset acceleration direction of the X axis, the preset acceleration direction of the Y axis and the preset acceleration direction of the Z axis in a one-to-one correspondence manner, the hearing device is judged to be worn on the left ear of the user; and when detecting that two acceleration directions in the X-axis acceleration direction, the Y-axis acceleration direction and the Z-axis acceleration direction of the gravity sensor are opposite to the preset X-axis acceleration direction, the preset Y-axis acceleration direction and the preset Z-axis acceleration direction, judging that the hearing device is worn on the right ear of the user. For example, if the acceleration direction of the X axis of the gravity sensor is detected to be opposite to the preset acceleration direction of the X axis, the acceleration direction of the Y axis is detected to be opposite to the preset acceleration direction of the Y axis, and the acceleration direction of the Z axis is detected to be the same as or close to the preset acceleration direction of the Z axis, it is determined that the hearing device is worn on the right ear of the user. The preset X-axis acceleration direction, the preset Y-axis acceleration direction, and the preset Z-axis acceleration direction are perpendicular to each other, and as shown in fig. 2, the preset X-axis acceleration direction is a flight direction that coincides with the horizontal tangential direction of the earth rotation direction, the preset Y-axis acceleration direction is a geocentric radial direction, and the preset Z-axis acceleration direction is a direction perpendicular to the earth orbit plane, based on the earth rotation direction.
In particular, it is also detected whether the hearing instrument is worn in place before the orientation of the gravity sensor is detected. If the hearing device is detected to be worn at the position, wearing position information is generated, and then the position of the hearing device is determined by using the gravity sensor according to the wearing position information.
Whether the hearing device is worn in place or not can be detected through an infrared sensor, and the infrared sensor can sense the approaching and the departing of the skin where the hearing device is worn; when the infrared sensor is detected to be closer to the skin at the wearing position and finally kept less than the preset distance (indicating that the infrared rays emitted by the infrared sensor are shielded by the ear of the user, and therefore the infrared ray transmission distance emitted by the infrared sensor is less than the preset distance), it can be determined that the hearing device is worn in place. The preset distance may be 1 mm.
In other embodiments, it may also be possible to detect whether the hearing device is worn on the left ear or the right ear of the user in a manner customary in the art.
Step 106, configuring hearing parameters suitable for the hearing of the ear worn by the hearing device for the hearing device according to the wearing condition of the hearing device.
After configuring the hearing device with hearing parameters that are appropriate for the hearing of the ear on which the hearing device is worn, the hearing device may be hearing compensated according to the configured hearing parameters.
Specifically, if it is detected that the hearing device is worn on the left ear of the user, configuring hearing parameters suitable for the hearing of the left ear of the user for the hearing device; and if the hearing device is detected to be worn on the right ear of the user, configuring hearing parameters suitable for the hearing of the right ear of the user for the hearing device.
In one embodiment, the hearing parameter configuration method of a hearing device in this embodiment further includes: a step of obtaining current hearing parameters of the hearing device. If the current hearing parameter of the hearing device does not correspond to the ear currently worn by the hearing device, the step of configuring the hearing device with the hearing parameter suitable for the hearing of the ear worn by the hearing device is to switch the current hearing parameter of the hearing device. For example, if it is detected that the current hearing parameter of the hearing device is a hearing parameter suitable for the right ear hearing of the user, but it is detected that the hearing device is worn in the left ear of the user, the current hearing parameter of the hearing device is switched to a hearing parameter suitable for the left ear hearing of the user.
In one embodiment, the step of configuring the hearing device with hearing parameters that are appropriate for the hearing of the ear on which the hearing device is worn, depending on the wearing situation of the hearing device, comprises: if the hearing device is detected to be worn on the left ear of the user for a first preset time, sending first indication information to guide the user to switch the hearing device to the right ear and switching hearing parameters of the hearing device; if the hearing device is worn on the right ear for more than a second preset time, sending second indication information to guide the user to switch the hearing device to the right ear and switch hearing parameters of the hearing device; the first preset time is longer than the second preset time.
The sound is ultimately transmitted to the brain, and the right ear is more stimulating to the brain because it is closer to the brain, and should be worn for a slightly shorter period of time to reduce stimulation to the brain. In this embodiment, the user is prompted to wear the hearing device by switching the left ear and the right ear, so that the left ear and the right ear of the user can be rested at intervals, and the hearing damage degree of the hearing device to the ears can be reduced; and the time that the user wears the hearing aid on the right ear is shorter than the time that the user wears the hearing aid on the left ear, so that stimulation of the hearing aid on the right ear of the user can be reduced.
In one embodiment, referring to fig. 3, the method for configuring hearing parameters of a hearing device in the embodiment further includes, after step 106:
step 302, hearing parameter information configured for the hearing device is fed back in a voice mode.
The method comprises the steps that a user wears the hearing device, corresponding hearing parameters are configured for the hearing device, and then hearing parameter information configured for the hearing device is played to the user in a voice mode. For example, configuring the hearing parameters suitable for the left ear hearing, voice information of "configuring the left ear hearing parameters for you" is played.
Step 304, obtaining the confirmation information input by the user.
After hearing the played information, the user will confirm whether the hearing parameters configured for the hearing device correspond to the respective ears worn by the hearing device, and then the user will input confirmation information to the hearing device. The confirmation information is information that the user confirms whether the fed back hearing parameter information matches an ear worn by the hearing device.
The confirmation information input by the user may be, for example and without limitation, a level signal generated by the user by pressing a key or a voice message uttered by the user. In particular, the hearing instrument is provided with keys through which the user can input confirmation information. When the user confirms that the fed back hearing parameter information is matched with the ear worn by the hearing device, the user can press a key, and the correspondingly acquired confirmation information is a level signal. When the user confirms that the fed back hearing parameter information is not matched with ears worn by the hearing equipment, the user can continuously press more than two keys or press the keys for a long time, and correspondingly obtained confirmation information is two continuous level signals or a level signal exceeding a preset time length.
Step 306, if the confirmation information input by the user is the information input by the user after the confirmation feedback hearing parameter information is not matched with the hearing device orientation, switching the current hearing parameter to be the hearing parameter suitable for the hearing of the ear worn by the hearing device according to the confirmation information.
The embodiment can further confirm whether the corresponding hearing parameters configured for the hearing device are suitable for the hearing of the ear, and if the corresponding hearing parameters are not suitable for the ear, the hearing parameters can be switched in time.
For example, the corresponding hearing parameter configured by the hearing device is a hearing parameter suitable for the hearing of the left ear of the user, and is fed back to the user to "configure the hearing parameter of the left ear for you" in the voice of the user, but the hearing device is worn on the right ear, so that the user inputs confirmation information through a key, and after level information generated by the key is acquired, the hearing parameter of the left ear is switched to the hearing parameter of the right ear.
In one embodiment, the step of providing the hearing parameters suitable for the hearing of the left ear of the user and the hearing parameters suitable for the hearing of the right ear of the user may be providing the hearing parameters suitable for the hearing of the left ear of two or more different users and the hearing parameters suitable for the hearing of the right ear of two or more different users. The hearing parameter configuration method of the hearing device of the present embodiment further comprises the step of detecting user identity information. Then, the step of configuring the hearing device with hearing parameters that are appropriate for the hearing of the ear worn by the hearing device is based on the identity of the user and on the left and right ear worn by the user, and configuring the hearing device with hearing parameters that are appropriate for the hearing of the ear worn by the hearing device.
In particular, the step of detecting the user identity information may be implemented by detecting ear print information of the user's ear. The ear print information may specifically be the user's ear-concha contour shape information.
For example, a hearing parameter suitable for the hearing of the left ear of the user a and a hearing parameter suitable for the hearing of the right ear of the user a are provided, and a hearing parameter suitable for the hearing of the left ear of the user B and a hearing parameter suitable for the hearing of the right ear of the user B are provided. And if the ear print information of the ear of the user is detected to be matched with the ear print information of the user A, configuring the hearing parameters of the user A for the hearing device.
The hearing parameter configuration method of the hearing device provides the hearing parameters suitable for the hearing of the left ear of the user and the hearing parameters suitable for the hearing of the right ear of the user for the hearing device, and configures the hearing parameters suitable for the hearing of the ear of the user for the hearing device when detecting which ear the hearing device is worn on. For a user who only has one hearing device, the user can switch the wearing position of the hearing device as required to obtain hearing parameters suitable for wearing ears, and the user does not need to go to a hearing verification center of a hearing device manufacturer to adjust the hearing parameters of the hearing, so that the user is convenient. For a user wearing two hearing devices, hearing parameters adaptive to the hearing of the worn ear are configured according to the worn ear of the hearing device, and the user does not need to worry that the hearing effect is adversely affected by wearing the hearing device.
