Problems solved by technology

Self-reported data are susceptible to several biases, such as memory bias, prestige bias, and misclassification bias, which can obscure the reliability and validity of outcome measures and thus can hamper evidence-based clinical decision support
In addition, traditional audiometric tests currently used in the clinic have limitations because single-tone detection in the brain does not uniquely reflect how well speech is perceived and what listening effort is required for speech perception
Fitting based on hearing tests does not take into account individual cognitive effort and problems processing sound

Embodiment Construction

[0136] The detailed description set forth below in connection with the accompanying drawings serves as a description of a number of different configurations. The detailed description includes specific details to provide a thorough understanding of various concepts. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that these concepts may be practiced without these specific details. Several aspects of the hearing device systems and methods are described in terms of a number of different blocks, functional units, modules, elements, circuits, steps, processes, algorithms, etc. (collectively referred to as "elements"). Depending on particular applications, design constraints or for other reasons, these elements may be implemented using electronic hardware, computer programs or any combination thereof.

[0137] The hearing device may comprise a hearing device adapted to improve at least one of the user's ears by receiving an acoustic signal from the user's surroundings, gene...

Abstract

The present application discloses a method for adjusting the configuration of a hearing aid based on pupil information, the method comprising: transmitting a first background sound signal and a first sound pattern to a hearing device; evaluating the first eye pair including the first background sound signal via a camera unit and first pupil information of a reaction to a first sound scene of a first sound pattern; wherein said evaluation is repeated to provide at least second pupil information of a reaction of the first eye to a second sound scene different from the first sound scene , providing average pupil information based on the average value between the first pupil information and at least the second pupil information; and selecting the pupil fitting model based on the average pupil information; determining the first parameter of the pupil fitting model and at least the second pupil fitting model based on the average pupil information Parameters; classify the average pupil information into the first category or at least the second category based on the first parameter and at least the second parameter; wherein if the average pupil information is in the first category, the hearing aid configuration is adjusted; otherwise, the hearing aid configuration is not adjusted.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to hearing device systems and methods for adjusting the configuration of hearing aids, such as adjusting hearing aid settings, optimal mapping parameters of stimulation electrodes connected to cochlear implants when the hearing device is a cochlear implant, earpieces of a hearing device in the ear placement in the tract, and / or adjust the frequency response of the hearing device. Background technique [0002] Modern hearing aids require configurations that match the wearer's specific hearing loss, physical characteristics and lifestyle. This process is called a "fitting" and is usually performed by hearing care specialists who treat people with hearing loss and empirically prevent related injuries. Hearing aid fitting and fine-tuning is currently not based on evidence, as the hearing tests used today are essentially based on self-reported data. The same is true for hearing aid satisfaction outcome data, as they are based...
