Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of hearing aids, specifically to a method for sound delay compensation in hearing aids. 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] When hearing aids are subjected to external interference or malfunctions, the sound played by the hearing aid may have a time difference with the sound collected from the outside. This time difference error can affect the user's normal use, so it is necessary to make real-time adjustments. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a hearing aid sound delay compensation method. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the problems in the prior art, this invention provides a method for sound delay compensation in hearing aids.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve its technical problem is: a method for sound delay compensation in a hearing aid, comprising a body module, a telescopic module, a sound collection module, a contrast module, and a compensation acceleration module. The body module includes a hearing aid body and an outer ear hook. The hearing aid body includes a shell, a microphone, and a battery, charging interface, processor, microphone, and buttons installed inside. The outer ear hook is suspended on the outer ear and supports the hearing aid body. The telescopic module includes a storage module and a moving module. The storage module stores the moving module and the sound collection module. The sound collection module is fixedly installed on the moving module. The moving module pushes the sound collection module to move. When in use, it moves to the outside to collect sound. When not in use, it moves into the storage module for storage. The sound collection module includes a standby sound collection module and a real-time sound collection module. The standby sound collection module collects the sound played by the hearing aid's microphone through a radio during the operation of the hearing aid. The real-time sound collection module enhances the operating power of the radio, thereby improving the sound collection effect of the radio on the sound played by the hearing aid's microphone. The comparison module includes a transmission module and a sound comparison module. The transmission module is used to connect the processor with the radio device, battery, radio, processor, broadcaster and buttons. The sound comparison module compares the sound played by the radio device to the hearing aid broadcaster with the sound transmitted by the processor to the hearing aid broadcaster. The compensation and acceleration module includes a compensation module and an acceleration module. The compensation module compares the data difference between real-time playback sound and real-time transmission sound, and then multiplies the time of the comparison difference by five to obtain the sound compensation mode. The acceleration module increases the playback speed of the sound by 20%, and then uses the sound with increased playback speed to play the sound compensation mode. When using: Step 1: First, hang the hearing aid body on the outer ear using the outer ear hook, and insert the speaker on the hearing aid body into the inner ear. Then, you can start the hearing aid by pressing the button. The receiver collects external sounds and transmits them to the processor for processing. The processed sound is then transmitted to the speaker for playback through the transmission module. Step 2: Activate the moving module. The moving module will move the sound collection module to the side of the loudspeaker to collect the sound played by the loudspeaker and transmit the collected sound data to the processor. The sound comparison module compares the collected sound data with the sound played after being converted by the processor. If the playback time difference is within 0.1 seconds, the sound collection operation will maintain a low-power collection mode. Step 3: When the playback time difference is greater than 0.1 seconds, the sound collection power of the sound collection module is increased. Then, the sound comparison module compares the collected sound data with the sound played after being converted by the processor, and the playback time difference can be obtained stably. Step 4: At this point, the playback time difference is multiplied by five to form the sound compensation mode. Then, the playback speed of the sound is increased by 20%, thereby using the sound with increased playback speed to play the sound compensation mode. This continues until the collected sound data and the sound played after being converted by the processor are within 0.1 seconds of each other, and then the sound compensation stops.

[0006] Specifically, a rubber ear cap is fitted onto the outer wall of the loudspeaker, and the sound collection module is arranged to penetrate the rubber ear cap.

[0007] Specifically, the storage module is disposed on the outer shell of the hearing aid, and the sound collection module is disposed at the opening of the storage module, while the moving module is disposed inside the storage module.

[0008] Specifically, the sound comparison module collects the sound played by the hearing aid's microphone from the sound collection module and transmits it to the processor. Then, it compares the sound data with the sound data transmitted from the microphone to the processor and calculates the time difference after the data matches.

[0009] Specifically, the standby sound collection module maintains a low-power mode that allows sound to be received, while the real-time sound collection module provides intensity to ensure that real-time and clear sound data is received for comparison.

[0010] Specifically, a soundproof plate is provided on the outer wall of the sound collection module, and the sound collection end of the sound collection module faces the broadcaster.

[0011] Specifically, the ear hook is rotatably connected to the hearing aid body via a pivot, and can be rotated to fit snugly against the hearing aid body when not in use.

[0012] Specifically, a sponge pad is provided on the side of the hearing aid's main body shell near the ear.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The hearing aid sound delay compensation method of this invention collects the played sound and then transmits it to the processor for comparison. The collection and comparison are continuously performed within the acceptable time difference. When the acceptable time difference is exceeded, the time difference is multiplied by five to form the sound compensation mode. Then, the playback speed of the sound is increased by 20% to play the sound compensation mode. This process continues until the collected sound data and the sound played after being converted by the processor are kept within 0.1 seconds of each other, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the hearing aid.

[0014] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0016] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0017] like Figure 1 As shown, a hearing aid sound delay compensation method of the present invention includes a body module, a telescopic module, a sound collection module, a comparison module, and a compensation acceleration module. The main body module includes the hearing aid body and the outer ear hook. The hearing aid body includes the shell, the microphone, and the battery, charging interface, processor, microphone, and buttons installed inside. The outer ear hook is suspended on the outer ear and supports the hearing aid body. The telescopic module includes a storage module and a moving module. The storage module stores the moving module and the sound collection module. The sound collection module is fixedly installed on the moving module. The moving module pushes the sound collection module to move. When in use, it moves to the outside to collect sound. When not in use, it moves into the storage module for storage. The sound collection module includes a standby sound collection module and a real-time sound collection module. The standby sound collection module collects the sound played by the hearing aid's microphone through the radio during the operation of the hearing aid. The real-time sound collection module enhances the operating power of the radio, thereby improving the sound collection effect of the radio on the sound played by the hearing aid's microphone. The comparison module includes a transmission module and a sound comparison module. The transmission module is used to connect the processor with the radio device, battery, radio, processor, broadcaster and buttons. The sound comparison module compares the sound played by the radio device to the hearing aid broadcaster with the sound transmitted by the processor to the hearing aid broadcaster. The compensation and acceleration module includes a compensation module and an acceleration module. The compensation module compares the data difference between the real-time playback sound and the real-time transmission sound, and then multiplies the time of the comparison difference by five to obtain the sound compensation mode, thereby avoiding the subsequent long acceleration time from affecting normal use. The acceleration module increases the playback speed of the sound by 20%, thereby avoiding the impact on the user's hearing due to the fast playback speed, and then uses the sound with increased playback speed to play the sound compensation mode. When using: Step 1: First, hang the hearing aid body on the outer ear using the outer ear hook, and insert the speaker on the hearing aid body into the inner ear. Then, you can start the hearing aid by pressing the button. The receiver collects external sounds and transmits them to the processor for processing. The processed sound is then transmitted to the speaker for playback through the transmission module. Step 2: Activate the moving module. The moving module will move the sound collection module to the side of the loudspeaker to collect the sound played by the loudspeaker and transmit the collected sound data to the processor. The sound comparison module compares the collected sound data with the sound played after being converted by the processor. If the playback time difference is within 0.1 seconds, the sound collection operation will maintain a low-power collection mode. Step 3: When the playback time difference is greater than 0.1 seconds, the sound collection power of the sound collection module is increased. Then, the sound comparison module compares the collected sound data with the sound played after being converted by the processor, and the playback time difference can be obtained stably. Step 4: At this point, the playback time difference is multiplied by five to form the sound compensation mode. Then, the playback speed of the sound is increased by 20%, thereby using the sound with increased playback speed to play the sound compensation mode. This continues until the collected sound data and the sound played after being converted by the processor are within 0.1 seconds of each other, and then the sound compensation stops.

[0018] The speaker has a rubber ear cap fitted on its outer wall, and the sound collection module is designed to pass through the rubber ear cap. The rubber ear cap covers the sound collection module, thus preventing the sound collection module from pressing against the inner ear canal and affecting the comfort of use.

[0019] The storage module is located on the outer shell of the hearing aid, and the sound collection module is located at the opening of the storage module. The moving module is located inside the storage module, so that the sound collection module and the moving module can be stored inside the storage module when not in use, thereby avoiding damage caused by bumps when not in use.

[0020] The sound comparison module collects the sound played by the hearing aid's microphone from the sound collection module, transmits it to the processor, compares it with the sound data transmitted from the microphone to the processor, and calculates the time difference after the data matches.

[0021] Among them, the standby sound collection module keeps the sound collection module in a low-power mode that can receive sound, while the real-time sound collection module provides intensity to ensure that real-time and clear sound data is received for comparison.

[0022] The sound collection module has a soundproof plate on its outer wall, and the sound collection end of the sound collection module faces the broadcaster, thereby reducing the sound collection module's collection of external sounds and thus reducing the interference of external sounds on the broadcaster's sound.

[0023] The ear hook is connected to the hearing aid body via a pivot, and can be rotated to fit snugly against the hearing aid body when not in use, allowing it to be folded and stored away to prevent damage from bumps.

[0024] The hearing aid's main shell has a sponge pad on the side closest to the ear to enhance comfort when worn.

[0025] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of the invention. Various changes and modifications can be made to the invention without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
