Embodiment Construction

[0054] Figure 1 shows various different application setups of embodiments of a portable listening system according to the present application.

[0055] Figure 1a An embodiment of a portable listening system is shown comprising: a microphone device, including a wireless microphone, for collecting a person's voice and converting the voice into an electrical signal of the person's voice; a listening device, here a hearing A form of instrument (HA) comprising a (preferably configurable) delay unit for delaying the own voice electrical signal, and a transmitter for wirelessly transmitting the signal containing the delayed own voice signal to a corresponding receiver in the hearing instrument device. This wireless transmission can be based both on the radiation field between the wireless microphone and the respective antenna of the hearing instrument, and also on the inductive coupling between the respective induction coils. The wireless transmission can be analog (eg FM) or digi...

Abstract

The invention relates to a portable listening system comprising a microphone device for picking up a person's voice and a listening device comprising a receiver. The invention further relates to the use of such system. The object of the present invention is to provide a portable device for treatment of stuttering. The problem is solved in that the system being adapted to pick up the voice of a person wearing the portable system by the microphone device, converting the voice to an own voice electrical signal, to transmit the own voice electrical signal to the listening device, to receive the own voice electrical signal in the listening device and to play it for the person by the receiver with a delay. An advantage of the invention is that it provides a flexible body worn system suitable for treatment of stuttering. The invention may e.g. be used for applications involving listening devices to be worn by a person to be treated for stuttering.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to a device to help prevent stuttering. The present application relates in particular to a portable listening system comprising a microphone device for collecting human speech and a listening device comprising a receiver. [0002] The present application also relates to the use of portable listening systems. [0003] The present application can be used, for example, in applications involving listening devices worn by people who treat stuttering. Background technique [0004] The estimated prevalence of stuttering is between 0.7 and 1% of the adult population. [0005] Devices for the treatment of stuttering using delayed sound exist in the prior art. However, these devices present different problems, including: [0006] - they are quite expensive [0007] - They are only suitable for home use (e.g. with headphones, cords and external microphone) and are not suitable for direct face-to-face communication with other p...
