Embodiment Construction

[0023] The present invention relates to a hearing device and method for enabling the reception of one or more audio streams representing one or more audio tracks from an audio system and enabling the reception of primary audio representing a first audio track from a primary transmitter unit. The switching between the streams and the reception of a secondary audio stream representing the first audio track from the secondary transmitter unit occurs automatically, ie without user input.

[0024] In an audio system, one or more transmitter units are configured to broadcast or transmit one or more audio streams, eg to one or more hearing devices. The transmitter unit can transmit one or more audio streams. The transmitter unit is identified by the transmitter unit address.

[0025] A soundtrack is an auditory signal. Exemplary auditory signals are airport calls, movie soundtracks, speech or music fragments.

[0026] An audio stream is an electromagnetic signal representing an au...

Abstract

A method for receiving wireless audio streams in a hearing device includes: receiving audio packages of a primary audio stream from a primary transmitter unit having a primary transmitter unit address; evaluating a first parameter of the primary audio stream; and if the first parameter fulfills a search criterion: searching for pilot packages from available transmitter units; determining an optimum transmitter unit based on one or more pilot package parameters of the pilot packages from the available transmitter units; and receiving audio packages of an audio stream from the optimum transmitter unit.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a hearing device and an associated method configured to receive an audio stream, in particular a hearing device and a method for receiving an audio stream from an audio system transmitting using a plurality of transmitters. Background technique [0002] Wireless communication to and from hearing devices has been increasing following developments in wireless communication technology. In crowded environments where audio is distributed to crowds, eg at airports or in movie theaters, it is known to stream audio via telecoil solutions with limited bandwidth, with limited possibilities of separating the different audio streams. The limited transmission range of known transmitters is a limiting factor for users moving in large areas such as airports. Furthermore, the limited battery power of hearing devices, compared to eg smartphones, places a limit on the possibilities for wireless communication. Contents of the invention...
