Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of hearing aid technology, specifically relating to a method of using a hearing aid, a device, an electronic device, and a readable storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] Hearing impairment can affect communication between people.

[0003] A hearing aid is a small amplification device that compensates for hearing loss in people with hearing impairments. It is currently a relatively economical and widely used hearing assistive device. Related technologies typically require users to open an application (APP) that comes with the hearing aid and adjust its parameters to meet their needs.

[0004] However, when users adjust their hearing aids through the accompanying app, the adjustment process is cumbersome, complicated, and inefficient. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application aims to provide a method of using a hearing aid, a device, an electronic device, and a readable storage medium, which at least solves the problem that the prior art method of using a hearing aid is cumbersome, complicated, and inefficient when adjusting the hearing aid through an app that comes with the hearing aid.

[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application disclose a method for using a hearing aid, applied to a terminal device, wherein the terminal device is communicatively connected to the hearing aid, and the method includes:

[0007] Receive gesture commands sent by the hearing aid;

[0008] Based on the correspondence between preset gestures and terminal device operating modes, determine the target terminal device operating mode that matches the target gesture indicated by the gesture command.

[0009] When the target terminal device is in hearing aid volume adjustment mode, the volume of the hearing aid can be adjusted by performing a posture adjustment operation on the terminal device.

[0010] Secondly, embodiments of this application disclose a device for using a hearing aid, applied to a terminal device, wherein the terminal device is communicatively connected to the hearing aid, and the device includes:

[0011] A receiving module is used to receive gesture commands sent by the hearing aid;

[0012] The determining module is used to determine the target terminal device working mode that matches the target gesture indicated by the gesture command, based on the correspondence between preset gestures and terminal device working modes.

[0013] The volume adjustment module is used to adjust the volume of the hearing aid by performing a posture adjustment operation on the terminal device when the target terminal device is in the hearing aid volume adjustment mode.

[0014] Thirdly, embodiments of this application also disclose an electronic device, including a processor and a memory, wherein the memory stores a program or instructions that can run on the processor, and the program or instructions, when executed by the processor, implement the steps of the method described in the first aspect.

[0029] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0030] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and not to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such use of data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first," "second," etc., are generally of the same class and the number of objects is not limited; for example, a first object can be one or more. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0031] Hearing impairment can affect communication. Currently, the most effective way to address hearing impairment is by wearing hearing aids. A hearing aid is a small amplification device that compensates for hearing loss in people with hearing impairments; it is also a relatively economical and widely used hearing aid. Its basic principle is to compensate for hearing loss through sound amplification. Specifically, a microphone on the hearing aid collects sounds from the surrounding environment and converts them into electronic signals, which are then transmitted to an internal chip. The chip then converts the electronic signals from the microphone into digital signals, which are processed, amplified, and sent to a speaker. Finally, the speaker converts the processed digital signals into sound waves, which are transmitted to the wearer's ear, causing the eardrum to vibrate.

[0032] Hearing aids can be categorized by their external structure into behind-the-ear (BTE), in-the-ear (ITE), and in-the-canal (ITC) types. As shown in Table 1, specific types of hearing aids include BTE, in-the-canal (ITE), ITE, ITC, and deep-in-the-canal (DIC) hearing aids. BTE hearing aids are relatively large and typically have only two volume buttons; however, these only adjust volume and do not allow for adjustments to direction or scene settings directly on the hearing aid itself. Users must use a dedicated app to adjust these settings. Other types of hearing aids lack physical buttons and can only be adjusted via a companion app.

[0033] Table 1

[0034]

[0035] To ensure a better fit and optimal performance, hearing aids are often designed to be small in size. For example, in-the-ear (ITE), in-the-ear (ITE), and fully-in-the-canal (FIT) hearing aids are relatively compact. These hearing aids do not allow for direct adjustment of volume, direction, scene settings, or precise parameters on the device itself; users must use a companion app to make these adjustments.

[0036] When users adjust their hearing aids via the accompanying app, the process is cumbersome, complex, and inefficient. In some cases, hearing impairment isn't limited to the elderly; some younger users also experience hearing loss and require hearing aids to compensate. When younger users open the app to adjust hearing aid parameters, they are easily detected and may be treated differently.

[0037] Therefore, this embodiment receives a gesture command sent by the hearing aid, determines the target terminal device operating mode matching the target gesture indicated by the gesture command based on the preset correspondence between gestures and terminal device operating modes, and adjusts the hearing aid volume by performing a posture adjustment operation on the terminal device when the target terminal device operating mode is the hearing aid volume adjustment mode. Since this embodiment can adjust the hearing aid volume through the posture adjustment operation of the terminal device, it not only reduces user operations and provides a better user experience, but also improves adjustment efficiency.

[0038] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the steps of using a hearing aid according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 This method, applied to terminal devices that communicate with hearing aids, may include the following steps:

[0039] Step 101: Receive gesture commands sent by the hearing aid.

[0040] In this embodiment of the application, the terminal device can be a mobile phone, and the communication connection between the terminal device and the hearing aid can be a pairing connection between the terminal device and the hearing aid via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.

[0041] After the terminal device establishes a communication connection with the hearing aid, the user triggers a target gesture on the hearing aid, which then generates a gesture command based on that target gesture to instruct the user to perform the target gesture. The target gesture can be a double-tap gesture or a single-tap gesture.

[0042] After the hearing aid generates a gesture command, it sends the command to the terminal device. Upon receiving the gesture command, the terminal device can determine the target terminal device operating mode that matches the gesture command based on a preset correspondence between gestures and terminal device operating modes. Therefore, if the target terminal device is in hearing aid volume adjustment mode, the user can adjust the hearing aid volume by adjusting the device's posture. This not only reduces user operations and provides a better user experience but also improves adjustment efficiency.

[0043] Step 102: Based on the correspondence between preset gestures and terminal device working modes, determine the target terminal device working mode that matches the target gesture indicated by the gesture command.

[0044] In this embodiment, the correspondence between preset gestures and terminal device operating modes can be pre-set. For example, a double-tap gesture corresponds to the hearing aid volume adjustment mode; that is, a double-tap gesture can trigger or deactivate the hearing aid volume adjustment mode.

[0045] For example, when the target gesture indicated by the gesture command is a double-tap gesture, the target terminal device's working mode can be determined to be the hearing aid volume adjustment mode based on the correspondence between the double-tap gesture and the hearing aid volume adjustment mode.

[0046] The embodiments of this application determine the target terminal device working mode that matches the target gesture indicated by the gesture command based on the correspondence between preset gestures and terminal device working modes. This method is relatively simple and easy to implement.

[0047] Step 103: When the target terminal device is in hearing aid volume adjustment mode, the volume of the hearing aid is adjusted by adjusting the posture of the terminal device.

[0048] In this embodiment of the application, the posture adjustment operation of the terminal device can be a tilting operation of the terminal device or a moving operation of the terminal device, thereby adjusting the volume of the hearing aid.

[0049] In this embodiment, the remote sensing technology built into the terminal device can be used to adjust the volume of the hearing aid by adjusting the posture of the terminal device, thus avoiding the need to take out the terminal device for adjustment on-site. This solves the problem of cumbersome and inefficient adjustment operations when adjusting the hearing aid through the APP that comes with the hearing aid.

[0050] In this embodiment, a gesture command sent by the hearing aid is received. Based on the correspondence between preset gestures and terminal device operating modes, the target terminal device operating mode matching the target gesture indicated by the gesture command is determined. If the target terminal device operating mode is the hearing aid volume adjustment mode, the volume of the hearing aid is adjusted by performing a posture adjustment operation on the terminal device. Since this embodiment can adjust the volume of the hearing aid through the posture adjustment operation of the terminal device, it not only reduces the user's operation and provides a better user experience, but also improves the efficiency of adjustment.

[0051] Figure 2 The flowchart of another method of using a hearing aid provided in this application embodiment is shown below. Figure 2 The method may include the following steps:

[0052] Step 201: Receive gesture commands sent by the hearing aid.

[0053] This step can be referred to as step 101 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0054] Step 202: Based on the correspondence between preset gestures and terminal device working modes, determine the target terminal device working mode that matches the target gesture indicated by the gesture command.

[0055] This step can be referred to as step 102 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0056] Step 203: Tilt the terminal device to obtain the tilt direction and tilt amplitude.

[0057] In this embodiment, tilting the terminal device can be understood as tilting the terminal device by a certain angle using a certain method. For example, the terminal device can be tilted 45 degrees to the left, or 30 degrees to the right. After tilting the terminal device, information about the left and 45-degree angles, or information about the right and 30-degree angles, is obtained.

[0058] Step 204: Based on the first preset correspondence between tilt amplitude and volume adjustment amplitude, obtain the volume adjustment amplitude that matches the current tilt amplitude.

[0059] In this embodiment, the first preset correspondence is the correspondence between tilt amplitude and volume adjustment amplitude, which can usually be preset in the terminal device. A larger tilt amplitude corresponds to a larger volume adjustment amplitude, and a smaller tilt amplitude corresponds to a smaller volume adjustment amplitude. For example, a tilt amplitude of 1 degree to 30 degrees corresponds to a volume adjustment amplitude of 10%; a tilt amplitude of 31 degrees to 60 degrees corresponds to a volume adjustment amplitude of 20%; and a tilt amplitude of 61 degrees to 90 degrees corresponds to a volume adjustment amplitude of 30%.

[0060] For example, if the terminal device is tilted to a degree of 15 degrees, then based on a first preset correspondence between the tilt angle and the volume adjustment range, a volume adjustment range of 10% corresponding to the 15-degree tilt angle can be obtained. Therefore, the volume of the hearing aid can be adjusted based on this 10% volume adjustment range. Obtaining the volume adjustment range matching the current tilt angle using this first preset correspondence is relatively simple and easy to implement.

[0061] Step 205: When the tilt direction is the first direction, increase the volume of the hearing aid according to the volume adjustment range that matches the current tilt amplitude.

[0062] In this embodiment, the first direction can be either left or right. Taking a mobile phone as an example, and the first direction as right, see [link to example]. Figure 3 When the phone is tilted to the right, the tilt angle is 15 degrees. Based on a first preset correspondence between the tilt angle and the volume adjustment angle, a 10% volume adjustment angle corresponds to a 15-degree tilt. Therefore, the volume of the hearing aid's volume control 30 can be increased based on this 10% volume adjustment angle. Similarly, taking the leftward direction as an example, when the phone is tilted to the left, the tilt angle is 15 degrees. Based on the first preset correspondence between the tilt angle and the volume adjustment angle, a 10% volume adjustment angle corresponds to a 15-degree tilt. Therefore, the volume of the hearing aid's volume control 30 can be increased based on this 10% volume adjustment angle.

[0063] Step 206: When the tilt direction is the second direction, reduce the volume of the hearing aid according to the volume adjustment range that matches the current tilt amplitude; the second direction is a different direction from the first direction.

[0064] In this embodiment, the second direction can be either left or right. It should be noted that the second direction is different from the first direction. Taking a mobile phone as an example, and the second direction as left, see [link to example]. Figure 4When the phone is tilted to the left, the tilt angle is 15 degrees. Based on the first preset correspondence between the tilt angle and the volume adjustment angle, a 10% volume adjustment angle corresponds to a 15-degree tilt. Therefore, the volume of the hearing aid's volume control 30 can be reduced by 10%. Similarly, taking the second direction as the right as an example, when the phone is tilted to the right, the tilt angle is 15 degrees. Based on the first preset correspondence between the tilt angle and the volume adjustment angle, a 10% volume adjustment angle corresponds to a 15-degree tilt. Therefore, the volume of the hearing aid's volume control 30 can be reduced by 10%. It is important to note that the second direction is different from the first direction. That is, when the first direction is left, the second direction is right, and vice versa.

[0065] Optionally, the method also includes:

[0066] Step 207: Set the target function of the hearing aid according to the tilt direction and tilt amplitude.

[0067] In the embodiments of this application, the target function of the hearing aid can be a shielding function, that is, it can shield the volume from other directions.

[0068] Optionally, step 207 specifically includes:

[0069] Sub-step 2071: When the tilt direction is the third direction, if the tilt amplitude is greater than the preset amplitude threshold, control the hearing aid to reduce the volume in other directions besides the third direction.

[0070] In this embodiment, the third direction can be the forward direction, and the preset amplitude threshold can be 90 degrees. When the terminal device tilts forward by more than 90 degrees, the hearing aid can be controlled to reduce the volume of the remaining directions other than the front, thereby reducing interference from other directions and allowing the user to focus on the person speaking in front.

[0071] Optionally, step 207 may also include:

[0072] Sub-step 2072: When the tilt direction is the fourth direction, if the tilt amplitude is greater than the preset amplitude threshold, the value of the configuration item is set to the default value; the fourth direction and the third direction are different directions, and the configuration item is the configuration item of the hearing aid.

[0073] In this embodiment, the fourth direction can be the rearward direction, and the preset amplitude threshold can be 90 degrees. It should be noted that the fourth direction is different from the third direction. When the terminal device tilts backward by more than 90 degrees, the configuration item value can be set to the default value, thus returning the hearing aid to its default state.

[0074] Optionally, the method also includes:

[0075] Step 208: Display the hearing aid's configuration items in the configuration interface.

[0076] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the interface of a terminal device provided in an embodiment of this application. See also: Figure 5 , Figure 5 The top of the interface displays the current battery level of both earbuds, which is 100%. Figure 5 The interface displays a slider control 51. By sliding the slider control 51, the volume of the left and right ears can be adjusted separately. Sliding the slider control 51 downwards gradually decreases the hearing aid volume, reaching the minimum volume of 0 when it is at the bottom, indicating that the hearing aid is in a mute state. Sliding the slider control 51 upwards gradually increases the hearing aid volume, reaching the maximum volume of 100 when it is at the top. Currently, the volume of both ears is 80. Figure 5 The bottom of the interface displays configuration options, including: binaural options, scene options, orientation options, and debugging options.

[0077] Step 209: Obtain the default values ​​corresponding to the configuration items.

[0078] In this embodiment, the default values ​​for configuration items can be default settings. For example, the default volume for the left and right ears can be 0, the scene can be an indoor scene, the direction can be adaptive, noise reduction can be 0, and dialogue enhancement can be 0. Users can set the default settings according to their own needs.

[0079] Step 210: In response to the configuration operation, modify the default value corresponding to the configuration item, obtain the modified value corresponding to the configuration item, and control the hearing aid to work according to the configuration item with the modified value.

[0080] In this embodiment, when a user needs to perform configuration operations, the default values ​​corresponding to the configuration items can be modified. For example, the volume of the left and right ears can be modified to 80, the scene can be modified to an adaptive scene, the direction can be set to adaptive, the noise reduction can be modified to 50, and the dialogue enhancement can be modified to 50. After obtaining the modified values ​​corresponding to the configuration items, the hearing aid is controlled to work with the volume of the left and right ears set to 80, the scene to an adaptive scene, the direction to adaptive, the noise reduction to 50, and the dialogue enhancement to 50.

[0081] Optional configuration items include: binaural configuration; step 210 specifically includes:

[0082] Sub-step 2101: Click on the dual ear item and slide the slider control to adjust the volume of the dual ear items, and use the adjusted volume value as the corresponding modification value for the dual ear item.

[0083] In the embodiments of this application, see Figure 5If you need to configure the volume for the left and right ears, you can click [here]. Figure 5 The buttons 52 at the bottom correspond to the two earpieces. By sliding the slider control 51, the volume of the left and right earpieces can be adjusted together. Sliding down gradually decreases the volume, reaching the minimum volume (0) when sliding to the bottom. Sliding up gradually increases the volume, reaching the maximum volume (100) when sliding to the top. Figure 5 The volume displayed in the image is 80 for both the left and right ears.

[0084] Configuration items include: direction items; direction items include one or more of adaptive, forward, backward, and omnidirectional directions; step 210 may also include:

[0085] Sub-step 2102: By clicking the direction item, select one of adaptive, forward, backward and all directions as the target direction. The target direction is the modified value corresponding to the direction item.

[0086] In the embodiments of this application, see Figure 6 , Figure 6 Four directional options are shown: Adaptive, Forward, Backward, and Omnidirectional. Adaptive allows the hearing aid's volume to be adjusted based on tilt. Users can click the corresponding button 61 to select the adaptive direction. Forward focuses on listening to the person in front. Users can click the corresponding button 62 to select the forward direction. Backward focuses on listening to the person behind. Users can click the corresponding button 63 to select the backward direction. Omnidirectional allows listening to sounds from all directions. Users can click the corresponding button 64 to select the omnidirectional direction. Users can choose the direction according to their needs. If the user selects adaptive, the shape of the adaptive button 61 will differ from the buttons for other options; this is illustrated by a diagonal line in the diagram.

[0087] In this embodiment of the application, the user can choose adaptive mode, thereby adjusting the volume of the hearing aid based on the tilt operation of the terminal device.

[0088] Configuration items include: debugging items; debugging items include: one or more of tone adjustment, noise reduction, and dialogue enhancement; step 210 may also include:

[0089] Sub-step 2103: By clicking the debugging item, select the corresponding value for each pitch, noise reduction and dialogue enhancement in the pitch section, and use the corresponding value for each pitch, noise reduction and dialogue enhancement in the pitch section as the corresponding modification value for pitch adjustment, noise reduction and dialogue enhancement in the debugging item.

[0090] In the embodiments of this application, see Figure 7 , Figure 7The interface displays tone adjustment, noise reduction, and dialogue enhancement. Sliding sliders 71, 72, and 73 (corresponding to bass, mid, and treble respectively) adjusts the tone of the bass, mid, and treble frequencies to achieve optimal sound effects. Sliding slider 74 adjusts the noise reduction settings. Figure 7 Setting the noise reduction to 50% can reduce ambient noise. The degree of dialogue enhancement can be adjusted by sliding the slider 75 corresponding to the dialogue enhancement setting. Figure 7 Setting the dialogue enhancement to 50% can help people with mild hearing impairments communicate without barriers. Users can also restore the corresponding pitch adjustment, noise reduction, and dialogue enhancement to their default settings by clicking the "Restore Initial" module.

[0091] Configuration items include: scene items; step 210 may also include:

[0092] Sub-step A: By clicking on the scene item, select one of the following as the target scene: adaptive scene, indoor scene, outdoor scene, noisy scene, and movie-watching scene. The target scene is the modified value corresponding to the scene item.

[0093] In the embodiments of this application, see Figure 8 , Figure 8 The interface displays several scene options, including: Adaptive Scene, Indoor Scene, Outdoor Scene, Noisy Scene, and Movie Viewing Scene. Clicking button 81 for Adaptive Scene selects the target scene as Adaptive Scene. Clicking button 82 for Indoor Scene selects the target scene as Indoor Scene. Clicking button 83 for Outdoor Scene selects the target scene as Outdoor Scene, allowing for more precise noise reduction. Clicking button 84 for Noisy Scene selects the target scene as Noisy Scene. Clicking button 85 for Movie Viewing Scene selects the target scene as Movie Viewing Scene. By setting these various scenes, users are provided with multiple application scenario modes. If the user selects Adaptive Scene, the shape of button 81 will differ from the buttons for other options; the diagram only uses a diagonal line for illustration.

[0094] Optionally, the method also includes:

[0095] Step 211: Based on the second preset correspondence between the moving distance and the volume adjustment amplitude, obtain the volume adjustment amplitude that matches the current moving distance.

[0096] In this embodiment, the second preset correspondence is the correspondence between the moving distance and the volume adjustment amplitude. This can typically be pre-set in the terminal device. The greater the moving distance, the larger the volume adjustment amplitude; conversely, the smaller the moving distance, the smaller the volume adjustment amplitude. For example, a moving distance of 1 cm to 5 cm corresponds to a volume adjustment amplitude of 10%; a moving distance of 6 cm to 10 cm corresponds to a volume adjustment amplitude of 20%; and a moving distance of 11 cm to 15 cm corresponds to a volume adjustment amplitude of 30%.

[0097] For example, if the terminal device is moved a distance of 7 centimeters, then based on the first preset correspondence between tilt angle and volume adjustment range, a 20% volume adjustment range corresponding to a 15-degree tilt angle can be determined. Therefore, the hearing aid volume can be adjusted based on this 20% volume adjustment range. Obtaining the volume adjustment range matching the current movement distance using the second preset correspondence between movement distance and volume adjustment range is relatively simple and easy to implement.

[0098] Step 212: When the direction of movement is the fifth direction, increase the volume of the hearing aid according to the volume adjustment range that matches the current movement distance.

[0099] In this embodiment, the fifth direction can be either upward or downward. Taking the upward direction as an example, when the terminal device is moved upward, the distance moved is 7 centimeters. Based on the second preset correspondence between the moving distance and the volume adjustment range, a volume adjustment range of 20% corresponding to the moving distance of 7 centimeters can be obtained. Therefore, the volume of the hearing aid can be increased based on the 20% volume adjustment range. Similarly, taking the downward direction as an example, when the terminal device is moved downward, the distance moved is 7 centimeters. Based on the second preset correspondence between the moving distance and the volume adjustment range, a volume adjustment range of 20% corresponding to the moving distance of 7 centimeters can be obtained. Therefore, the volume of the hearing aid can be increased based on the 20% volume adjustment range.

[0100] Step 213: When the direction of movement is the sixth direction, reduce the volume of the hearing aid according to the volume adjustment range that matches the current movement distance; the sixth direction is different from the fifth direction.

[0101] In this embodiment, the sixth direction can be either upward or downward. It's important to note that the sixth direction is different from the fifth direction. Taking the sixth direction as downward as an example, when the terminal device is moved downwards, the distance moved is 7 centimeters. Based on the second preset correspondence between the moving distance and the volume adjustment range, a volume adjustment range of 20% corresponding to the moving distance of 7 centimeters can be obtained. Therefore, the hearing aid volume can be reduced based on the 20% volume adjustment range. Similarly, taking the fifth direction as upward as an example, when the terminal device is moved upwards, the distance moved is 7 centimeters. Based on the second preset correspondence between the moving distance and the volume adjustment range, a volume adjustment range of 20% corresponding to the moving distance of 7 centimeters can be obtained. Therefore, the hearing aid volume can be reduced based on the 20% volume adjustment range. It's important to note that the fifth and sixth directions are different; that is, when the fifth direction is upward, the sixth direction is downward, and vice versa.

[0102] Optionally, the method may also include adjusting the volume of the hearing aid:

[0103] Step 214: If a gesture command is received again from the hearing aid, obtain the new volume value corresponding to the current posture adjustment operation, and obtain the default volume value of the hearing aid.

[0104] In this embodiment, if the user wants to stop adjusting the hearing aid volume while it is being adjusted, they can send a gesture command to the terminal device again. Upon receiving the gesture command, the terminal device obtains the new volume value corresponding to the current gesture adjustment operation, as well as the default volume value of the hearing aid. Based on the new volume value and the default volume value, it can then determine whether to stop adjusting the hearing aid volume.

[0105] Step 215: If the new volume value is different from the default volume value, the adjustment process is terminated, and the volume of the hearing aid is controlled to the new volume value.

[0106] In this embodiment of the application, after obtaining the new volume value corresponding to the current posture adjustment operation and the default volume value of the hearing aid, if the new volume value and the default volume value are different, it means that the volume of the hearing aid has been adjusted once or multiple times. At this time, the adjustment process of the hearing aid volume can be terminated, and the volume of the hearing aid can be controlled by the new volume value.

[0107] In this embodiment, a gesture command sent by the hearing aid is received. Based on the correspondence between preset gestures and terminal device operating modes, the target terminal device operating mode matching the target gesture indicated by the gesture command is determined. If the target terminal device operating mode is the hearing aid volume adjustment mode, the volume of the hearing aid is adjusted by performing a posture adjustment operation on the terminal device. Since this embodiment can adjust the volume of the hearing aid through the posture adjustment operation of the terminal device, it not only reduces the user's operation and provides a better user experience, but also improves the efficiency of adjustment.

[0108] refer to Figure 9 This illustration shows a hearing aid usage device 30 provided in an embodiment of this application. The device 30 is applied to a terminal device, which is communicatively connected to the hearing aid. The device 30 includes:

[0109] The receiving module 301 is used to receive gesture commands sent by the hearing aid;

[0110] The determining module 302 is used to determine the target terminal device working mode that matches the target gesture indicated by the gesture command, based on the correspondence between preset gestures and terminal device working modes.

[0111] The posture adjustment module 303 is used to adjust the volume of the hearing aid by performing a posture adjustment operation on the terminal device when the target terminal device is in the hearing aid volume adjustment mode.

[0112] Optionally, the attitude adjustment module 303 may include:

[0113] The acquisition submodule is used to perform a tilting operation on the terminal device and acquire the tilting direction and tilting amplitude.

[0114] The adjustment submodule is used to adjust the volume of the hearing aid according to the tilt direction and the tilt amplitude.
