[0002] Hearing aids are assistive devices used by hearing impaired individuals to compensate for the deficiencies caused by hearing loss and improve their ability to communicate with others. Air conduction hearing aids are one type of hearing aid that can be programmed and worn by the user to improve hearing recovery over time.

[0003] Traditional air conduction hearing aids require manual adjustment by professionals before use, to adapt to different users' hearing loss and hearing needs. After each adjustment, the user needs to wear and feel it, and if the feeling is not good, the hearing aid needs to be adjusted again. This not only wastes the time and effort of the user and the professional, but also may lead to inaccurate fitting and affect the user's listening experience. Therefore, an automatic fitting method for air conduction hearing aids is needed. SUMMARY

[0004] To solve the problems in the prior art, the present application provides an automatic fitting method for air conduction hearing aids.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present application to solve its technical problems is: an automatic fitting method for air conduction hearing aids, including a fitting system, the fitting system includes a collection module, an analysis module, a self-adaptive module, an adjustment module, a verification module and a storage module, and the collection module, analysis module, self-adaptive module, adjustment module, verification module and storage module are connected to each other through electrical settings.

[0006] The collection module uses a hearing test instrument to collect the user's hearing data, including hearing threshold and hearing sensitivity parameters.

[0007] The analysis module analyzes the user's hearing data to determine the user's hearing loss and hearing needs.

[0008] The self-adaptive module generates a fitting scheme based on the user's hearing loss and hearing needs, including hearing aid gain, frequency response and compression ratio parameters, and the fitting scheme can be customized according to different hearing aid models and user hearing characteristics.

[0009] The adjustment module inputs the fitting scheme into the hearing aid and automatically adjusts the parameters of the hearing aid to adapt to the user's hearing loss and hearing needs. The hearing aid can communicate with the hearing analysis software or the fitting scheme generation device through wireless or wired connection, receive the fitting scheme and automatically adjust the parameters.

[0010] The verification module verifies the fitting effect using a hearing test instrument to ensure that the user's hearing is effectively compensated. The verification of the fitting effect can be performed in a hearing test room or in an actual living environment.

[0011] The storage module saves the fitting scheme in the hearing aid so that the user can use it in different environments. The fitting scheme can be saved in the memory of the hearing aid or in an external device.

[0012] A method for using an automatic fitting method for air conduction hearing aids, comprising the following steps: Before wearing the air conduction hearing aid, the air conduction hearing aid is initialized. The initialization operation measures the user's hearing loss, environmental noise level, and speech signal intensity parameters through the acquisition module, and then these parameters are stored in the memory of the hearing aid; Second step: During the wearing of the air conduction hearing aid, the analysis module and the adaptive module can monitor the user's hearing loss, environmental noise level, and speech signal intensity parameters in real time. These parameters are transmitted to the processor of the hearing aid in real time; Third step: According to the real-time monitored parameters, the processor cooperates with the adjustment module to automatically adjust the parameters of the hearing aid to adapt to different hearing loss conditions and environmental conditions. The processor can adjust the gain, compression ratio, frequency response, and other parameters of the hearing aid to improve the wearing comfort and speech clarity; Fourth step: At this time, the processor will monitor the user's feedback information such as wearing comfort and speech clarity when adjusting the parameters of the hearing aid through the verification module and the storage module. If the user is not satisfied with the adjusted parameters, the processor will make further adjustments according to the feedback information until the user is satisfied. After the customer is satisfied, the overall adjustment parameters are stored in the air conduction hearing aid with the storage module, thereby realizing memory control and facilitating automatic setting of the hearing aid for the patient next time.

[0013] Advantages of the present application: The automatic fitting method for air conduction hearing aids provided by the present application can automatically adjust the parameters of the hearing aid according to the user's hearing loss and environmental conditions, improve the wearing comfort and speech clarity, and is more accurate and convenient than the traditional manual adjustment of parameters, which can reduce the user's operation burden. In addition, the method provided by the present application can also monitor the user's feedback information in real time and make further adjustments according to the feedback information to improve the user's satisfaction.
