Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of hearing aids, specifically to a hearing aid hearing detection system and method. Background Technology

[0002] A hearing aid is an amplifier that increases the intensity of sound energy and transmits it into the ear with as little distortion as possible. It is an assistive device used by people with hearing impairments. Hearing aids help people with hearing disabilities improve their hearing impairment, thereby enhancing their ability to communicate with others. For people with hearing loss or weak hearing, air conduction hearing aids are often chosen. Air conduction hearing aids transmit sound through the outer ear, middle ear, and inner ear, which is also the most effective transmission method.

[0003] Since the degree of hearing loss varies from person to person, hearing aids need to be adjusted according to individual circumstances. Most existing hearing aids are adjusted via buttons, and the adjustment is made while the hearing aid is in use, making button adjustments inconvenient. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a hearing aid hearing detection system and method. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the problems in the prior art, the present invention provides a hearing aid hearing detection system and method.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve its technical problem is: a hearing aid hearing detection system, including a processing module, a playback module, a sound receiving and voice control module, and a correction module. The processing module includes a processor module, a button module, a power supply module, and a transmission module. The processor module is used to collect and process data within the system and control the operation of the hearing aid. The button module is used for manual button pressing, thereby transmitting control commands to the processor module to control the operation of the hearing aid. The power supply module includes a power source and a charging interface. The power source can supply power to the components inside the hearing aid, and the charging interface charges the power source. The transmission module includes a wire, which enables data transmission between the processor module and other modules. The playback module includes a player module and a voice command module. The player module is used to play the sound received by the hearing aid, and the voice command module refers to the recorded voice commands and plays the voice for the user to listen to. After listening, the user needs to repeat the voice commands at the same volume. The sound receiving and voice control module includes an internal sound receiving module, an external sound receiving module, and a voice control module. The internal sound receiving module receives the sound played by the player and transmits it to the processor module. The external sound receiving module receives external sound and transmits it to the processor module. The voice control module recognizes the user's voice by following the reading aloud through the external sound receiving module, then receives voice commands based on the recognized voice, and converts the voice commands into control commands to control the device adjustment. The correction module includes an automatic adjustment module and a manual adjustment module. The automatic adjustment module compares the intensity of the user's voice received by the internal and external sound receiving modules, and determines the intensity of hearing loss based on the results, and automatically adjusts the volume accordingly. The manual adjustment module allows users to adjust the volume manually as needed via a button module during use.

[0006] Preferably, the voice commands in the voice command module are: "Please read along after hearing the command" and "Please read three times to stop when the appropriate volume is reached", and the voice commands in the voice command module gradually increase in volume from soft to loud.

[0007] Preferably, after receiving the voice command "Please read aloud after hearing the command", the external audio receiving module will stop the player module from playing "Please read aloud after hearing the command" and then switch to playing "Please read aloud three times to reach a suitable volume and then stop" through the player module.

[0008] Preferably, the voice control module receives voice commands through an external sound receiving module, records the sound of the user reading the voice commands, and recognizes the voice commands based on the recorded sound.

[0009] Preferably, the voice command "Please read along after hearing the instruction" is the lowest volume at which the instruction can be clearly heard, and the voice command "Please read three times to stop when the appropriate volume is reached" is a comfortable volume level for the user.

[0010] Preferably, the button module is located on the outer wall of the hearing aid, and the operation of the processor module and the manual adjustment module can be adjusted through the button module.

[0011] Preferably, the transmission module is connected to the processor module, button module, power module, player module, voice command module, internal radio module, external radio module, voice control module, automatic adjustment module, and manual adjustment module via wires.

[0012] A method for using a hearing aid hearing testing system. Step 1: First, put on the hearing aid and turn it on. Then, the hearing aid's player module will start playing the voice command "Please read along after hearing the instruction", gradually increasing the volume from low to high. Step 2: When the user hears the voice command "Please read along after hearing the command" and reads along, the external sound receiving module will stop playing "Please read along after hearing the command" when it receives the voice command. Step 3: At this point, the hearing aid's player module starts playing the voice command "When the appropriate volume is reached, please read 'stop' three times." The volume gradually increases from the volume of the voice command "When you hear the command, please read it along with the command." When the user feels that the volume played by the hearing aid's player module has reached a comfortable level, the user can read "stop" three times. When the external radio module receives the three "stop" voice commands, it will stop playing "When the appropriate volume is reached, please read 'stop' three times." Step 4: At the same time, the internal sound receiving module records the volume of the playback from the hearing aid's player module, and the external sound receiving module records the volume of the user's voice. Then, the sounds received by the internal and external sound receiving modules are transmitted to the processor module for comparison and subtraction, thereby determining the degree of hearing loss of the user. Step 5: The minimum volume at which the voice command "Please read along after hearing the instruction" is heard clearly is the minimum volume at which the instruction is heard. The minimum volume at which the voice command "Read three times to stop when the appropriate volume is reached" is the comfortable volume intensity at which the user hears. The minimum volume at which the clear speech is heard and the comfortable volume are combined with the degree of hearing loss of the user, and the system is automatically adjusted to the upper and lower limits of the volume at which the user can hear it comfortably. Step 6: The external collection module collects external sounds and transmits them to the processor module via the transmission module. The processor module then converts the sounds and transmits them to the hearing aid's player module, which plays them according to the user's preferred listening volume range. The user can also adjust the volume as needed via the button module during use.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The hearing aid hearing detection system and method of the present invention, when in use, sets a voice command and has the user read it aloud at the same volume to confirm that the user can hear the minimum clear sound and comfortable sound. Then, the normal volume played by the player is collected by the internal sound receiving module, and the real-time volume perceived by the user is collected by the external sound receiving module. The difference between these two values ​​is then compared and subtracted to determine the degree of hearing loss of the user. By combining the minimum clear sound and comfortable sound with the degree of hearing loss of the user, the hearing aid will automatically adjust to play sound within the upper and lower limits of the volume that the user can hear comfortably. Furthermore, the system can be automatically adjusted as needed via the button module during use. Attached Figure Description
