Embodiment Construction

[0022] It should be understood that the embodiments described herein may be used with any hearing device without departing from the scope of the present disclosure. The devices depicted in the drawings are intended to illustrate the subject matter and not in a limited, exhaustive or exclusive sense. It should also be understood that the subject matter may be used with devices designed for use in or on the wearer's right or left ear or both ears.

[0023] Hearing devices, such as hearing aids and hearable devices (eg, wearable headphones), typically include an enclosure, such as a housing or housing, within which internal components are arranged. For example, typical components of a hearing device may include a digital signal processor (DSP), memory, power management circuitry, one or more communication devices (e.g., radio, near-field magnetic induction device), one or more antennas, one or more microphone, and receiver / speaker. More advanced hearing devices may incorporate ...

Abstract

A hearing device comprising a processor configured to generate a virtual auditory display including a sound field, a plurality of distinct sound field regions, and a plurality of quiet regions provided between the sound field regions Acoustic contrast. The sound field area and the quiet area remain positionally stationary within the sound field. The one or more sensors are configured to sense multiple inputs from the wearer. The processor is configured to facilitate movement of the wearer within the sound field in response to navigational input received from the one or more sensors. The processor is further configured to select one of the sound field regions for playback via the speaker or actuation of hearing device functions in response to selection inputs received from the one or more sensors.

Description

technical field [0001] This application relates generally to hearing devices, including hearing aids, personal amplification devices, and other hearables. Background technique [0002] A hearing device may contain a number of electromechanical switches and controls that allow a user to interact with the hearing device. Conventional approaches to interacting with a hearing device are cumbersome and have limited functionality because the switches and controls are limited in number and often cannot be seen while the hearing device is being worn. Contents of the invention [0003] Various embodiments relate to a method for generating a virtual auditory display from a hearing device arrangement adapted to be worn by a wearer. According to some embodiments, a method includes generating a virtual auditory display with a hearing device arrangement, the virtual auditory display comprising a sound field, a plurality of distinct sound field regions, and a plurality of quiet regions ...
