TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the technical field of air conduction hearing aids, in particular to an air conduction hearing aid service life prolonging method. BACKGROUND

[0002] An air conduction hearing aid is a hearing aid device using atmospheric pressure difference to transmit sound, which has the advantage of directly transmitting external sound to the ear and avoiding the loss in the sound transmission process of a traditional hearing aid. However, the air conduction hearing aids on the market generally have the problem of short service life, which not only limits the user experience, but also brings inconvenience to the user.

[0003] The higher the sensitivity of the hearing aid microphone, the stronger the sound capturing ability, but at the same time, it will cause the air conduction hearing aid to consume more electric energy at the same volume, thereby shortening the service life. In order to meet the needs of hearing impaired people, the air conduction hearing aid usually needs to have a large amplification power, and the larger the amplifier power, the higher the power consumption, thereby affecting the service life. Moreover, the airflow resistance of the air conduction tube will affect the sound transmission efficiency. When the airflow resistance is large, in order to ensure the transmission effect of the sound, the air conduction hearing aid needs to consume more energy, thereby reducing the service life. Therefore, it is necessary to propose an air conduction hearing aid service life prolonging method. SUMMARY

[0004] In view of the problems in the prior art, the application provides an air conduction hearing aid service life prolonging method.

[0005] The technical scheme adopted by the application to solve the technical problem is: an air conduction hearing aid service life prolonging method, comprising an energy-saving system, wherein the energy-saving system comprises a hardware module, a software module, a body module and a maintenance module; the hardware module comprises a chip module, a battery module and an energy-saving module; the software module comprises an algorithm module, an intelligent adjustment module and an intelligent sleep module, and the hardware module and the software module are electrically connected with each other.

[0006] The chip module adopts a high-performance, low-power audio processing chip, which can reduce the energy consumption of the hearing aid under the premise of ensuring the sound quality. The efficiency amplifier can reduce the energy consumption and improve the sound output efficiency, thereby prolonging the service life of the air conduction hearing aid. Increasing the sensitivity of the microphone can reduce the input power of the sound signal, thereby prolonging the service life of the air conduction hearing aid. The low-power loudspeaker can reduce the energy consumption while outputting a larger sound, thereby prolonging the service life of the air conduction hearing aid.

[0007] The battery module improves the battery design of the air conduction hearing aid, selects a high-energy-density battery, increases the capacity of the battery, thereby prolongs the use time of the air conduction hearing aid, and cooperates with the wireless charging technology to avoid frequent replacement of the battery, the high-efficiency battery has high energy density and output power, and the use time of the air conduction hearing aid can be prolonged, and the air conduction hearing aid can be repeatedly used by cooperating with the wireless charging battery, thereby reducing the use cost of the user.

[0008] The energy-saving module adopts energy-saving electronic materials, uses energy-saving materials and low-power electronic components in the circuit board design of the hearing aid, and reduces the energy consumption of the whole machine.

[0009] The algorithm module cooperates with the audio compression algorithm, reduces the data volume by compressing the audio signal, thereby reducing the energy consumption; the intelligent adjustment module cooperates with the dynamic adjustment of the volume, dynamically adjusts the volume according to the hearing needs of the user, avoids the waste of energy consumption caused by too large or too small volume, and the audio compression algorithm directly transforms the time domain signal into a digital code through a waveform coding compression algorithm, and tries to make the reconstructed speech waveform keep the waveform shape of the original speech signal. The basic principle of waveform coding is to sample the analog speech on the time axis at a certain rate, then quantize the amplitude sample layer by layer, and represent it with a code, and the decoding is the reverse process. The received digital sequence is recovered into an analog signal through decoding and filtering, the intelligent adjustment module can determine the volume of the received sound signal outside through the algorithm and the chip inside the hearing aid according to the volume receiver installed outside the hearing aid, thereby can change the volume autonomously, match the appropriate volume input into the user's ear, and only the sleep module is matched with the vector array, thereby can be started after a long period of no detection of external noisy sound, and the hearing aid is turned on or off through the overall module.

[0010] The body module manufactures the internal structure of the hearing aid by using nanometer materials, and manufactures the shell of the hearing aid by using a new type of plastic material. The nanometer material has the characteristics of high strength, light weight, high conductivity and the like, can be applied to the internal structure of the air conduction hearing aid, reduces the energy consumption, and improves the endurance. The new type of plastic material has the characteristics of light weight, high strength, high temperature resistance and the like, can be used for manufacturing the shell and the internal structure of the air conduction hearing aid, reduces the overall weight, and prolongs the use time.

[0011] The maintenance module can reasonably adjust the volume, regularly clean the earplug, and avoid long-term wearing. Reasonably adjusting the volume can avoid unnecessarily high energy consumption caused by excessively high volume, regularly cleaning the earplug can keep the earplug clean, avoid sound quality loss, reduce energy consumption, and avoid long-term wearing. Long-term wearing of the air conduction hearing aid will cause rapid consumption of the battery, and it is recommended to take off in time according to actual needs.

[0012] A method for extending the battery life of an air conduction hearing aid, comprising the following steps: First step: when extending the battery life of an air conduction hearing aid, optimize the microphone sensitivity, optimize the microphone sensitivity through high-performance chip technology, capture sound while using low-power microphones, increase noise suppression function, etc.; adjust the amplifier power, reasonably configure the amplifier power according to the user's hearing needs, avoid too large or too small, and at the same time, use high-efficiency amplifier to reduce power consumption; improve the material and shape of the air conduit, reduce air resistance, improve sound transmission efficiency, use smooth inner wall air conduit, and reduce air conduit diameter.

[0013] Second step: design intelligent energy-saving mode, when the user does not need to use the air conduction hearing aid, automatically enter the sleep state to reduce energy consumption, and at the same time, set the wake-up function to facilitate the user to use quickly; select high-energy-density battery to improve the endurance of the air conduction hearing aid; in addition, new battery technologies such as solid-state battery and flexible battery can be researched to achieve higher energy density and longer battery life.

[0014] Third step: in order to avoid the trouble of frequent battery replacement, wireless charging technology can be researched to realize convenient charging of the air conduction hearing aid.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the present application are: The air conduction hearing aid battery life extension method optimizes the internal structure, uses new materials, and improves battery technology, effectively improves the use time of the air conduction hearing aid, uses high-efficiency amplifier, optimizes microphone sensitivity, and uses low-power speaker to reduce energy consumption; nanomaterials and new plastic materials can reduce the overall weight of the air conduction hearing aid; high-efficiency battery, rechargeable battery, and new battery materials can improve the endurance of the air conduction hearing aid.
