Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of hearing aids, specifically an earphone jack for a dedicated electronic device for the hearing impaired. Background Technology

[0002] For people with hearing impairments, hearing aids or cochlear implants may be necessary to enhance or replace their hearing. However, the hearing loss in the left and right ears is often not the same, requiring separate fitting for each ear. The hearing gain compensation parameters for each ear are then incorporated into two hearing aids to achieve optimal binaural hearing. These hearing aids with fitting capabilities are generally expensive, and the high cost of purchasing two at once deters most hearing-impaired patients, leading them to opt for single-ear wearing. Furthermore, with prolonged use, behind-the-ear and in-the-ear hearing aids become increasingly susceptible to wear and tear from sweat, affecting their aesthetics and comfort. While patients can replace the earplugs themselves, other components must be replaced entirely, making replacement costs prohibitively high.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN 113099371 B discloses a novel wireless hearing aid system and a method for self-replacing earphones. This system separates the traditional hearing aid into two independent parts: smart hardware and wireless earphones. Sound acquisition, processing, and playback are independent. The smart hardware primarily handles data acquisition, processing, and transmission. However, because the smart hardware possesses the advantages of traditional box-type hearing aids—less limited by power consumption and processing power—it can be equipped with larger batteries and more microphones, run more complex algorithms, and have longer operating time, while significantly reducing hardware costs. If the wireless earphones need to be replaced due to wear and tear or aesthetic preferences, the replacement cost is minimal. Furthermore, the system takes into account the performance differences between different wireless earphones after replacement.

[0004] This device offers a self-service method for replacing hearing aids, significantly reducing user costs. However, while smart hardware can run more complex algorithms, it may not be able to adapt to different hearing environments and user needs in real time. For example, when a user moves from one environment to another (e.g., from indoors to outdoors), the noise level may change, requiring real-time adjustments to the hearing aid's gain. Furthermore, the degree of hearing loss may change over time. For instance, some older adults may experience progressive hearing loss. If a user's hearing loss worsens while the hearing aid's gain remains low, the user may not be able to hear enough sound. Simultaneously, changes may occur in the user's ear canal, such as narrowing or earwax blocking the hearing aid's microphone. These changes affect the hearing aid's ability to collect sound, thus affecting its gain, leading to insufficient gain, difficulty in normal communication, and potentially requiring more focused listening, which can cause hearing fatigue. Therefore, this solution proposes an earphone jack for a dedicated electronic device for the hearing impaired, which facilitates the adjustment of the dedicated electronic device to adapt to the user's degree of hearing loss and environmental changes, ensuring that the user can hear sufficient sound in different environments and avoiding problems such as hearing fatigue and communication difficulties. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides an earphone jack for a dedicated electronic device for the hearing impaired, which allows for adjustment of the device to adapt to the user's degree of hearing loss and environmental changes, ensuring that the user can hear sufficient sound in different environments and avoiding problems such as hearing fatigue and communication difficulties.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: an earphone jack for a special electronic device for hearing impairment, comprising a left earphone, a right earphone and a jack, the jack comprising a base and a cover, the cover being hinged to one side of the base, a battery being provided inside the base, the battery being used to charge the left earphone and the right earphone, and a placement slot being provided inside the base for placing the left earphone and the right earphone.

[0007] The base contains a speaker that emits different audio frequencies. The speaker signal is connected to a processor. A display screen is fixedly connected to one side of the base. The left earphone, the right earphone, and the display screen are all connected to the processor signal. When the speaker emits different audio frequencies, the left earphone and the right earphone pick up the sound. Based on the hearing loss of the left and right ears, the gain coefficient of the left earphone and the right earphone is adjusted using the display screen.

[0008] A camera is installed on the base and is connected to the processor. The camera is used to receive the user's facial orientation image. When the assistant moves the base and the speaker on the base continues to emit sound, the user can identify the location of the speaker through the left and right earphones and turn their body to the side of the speaker. The camera then captures the user's facial orientation image at this time and transmits it to the device processor.

[0009] The processor processes the user's facial orientation image, obtains the user's facial orientation direction parameters, and determines whether they are consistent with the speaker position. When the user's facial orientation direction is consistent with the speaker, the judgment is correct; when the user's facial orientation direction is inconsistent with the speaker, the judgment is incorrect. After several judgments, the judgment is terminated when the accuracy rate reaches a preset value. When the accuracy rate does not reach the preset value, the user readjusts the gain coefficients of the left and right earphones.

[0010] The principle and benefits of the above solution are as follows: For each user, this device provides a personalized gain coefficient based on their hearing loss. This ensures that each user receives the best auditory experience. Users can see their current gain coefficient setting on the display screen, allowing them to intuitively understand their hearing loss and make corresponding adjustments.

[0011] The device helps users determine the source and direction of sound by comparing the differences in sound received by the left and right earbuds. The display shows not only the parameters the user needs to adjust but also their current settings. Users can easily visually check to confirm their settings are correct and make adjustments as needed.

[0012] Because everyone's hearing sensitivity and frequency response are different, adjusting the speaker's audio and volume, and then adjusting the gain of the left and right earbuds, allows for personalized gain adjustments tailored to each individual's hearing characteristics, providing the best audio experience. Different audio sources have different frequency ranges and dynamic ranges. Adjusting the speaker's audio and volume adapts to different audio sources, ensuring optimal sound quality across various audio signal sources.

[0013] The device's processor can process the user's facial orientation in real time. If the user is not turning in the correct direction, the processor sends a signal to remind the user to readjust. This is an intelligent feature that helps users better understand the source of sounds without constant human intervention.

[0014] When the assistive device moves the base and the speaker on it continuously emits sound, the user can use the left and right earpieces to pinpoint the sound's location, helping them better perceive its source. Simultaneously, a camera on the base captures the user's facial orientation and transmits the image to a processor. The processor processes this image to determine the user's facial direction and whether it aligns with the speaker's location, further aiding in identifying the sound's source. This enhances their environmental awareness, especially in situations requiring heightened vigilance, such as crossing the street or walking on a busy street.

[0015] By adjusting the headphone's gain, users can better hear and understand conversations. This helps them communicate more confidently in various social situations. The device is small and lightweight, easily fitting into a pocket, backpack, or other personal belongings. This allows users to use it anytime, anywhere—at home, in the office, or out and about.

[0016] After several assessments, the assessment process terminates when the accuracy rate reaches a preset value. If the accuracy rate falls short of the preset value, the user needs to readjust the gain coefficients of both the left and right earpieces. This allows for adaptive adjustment of the device, improving the user experience. It also facilitates the adjustment of electronic devices specifically designed for the hearing impaired, adapting them to the user's degree of hearing loss and environmental changes, ensuring that the user can hear sufficient sound in various environments and avoiding problems such as hearing fatigue and communication difficulties.

[0017] Furthermore, a sound sensor is installed in the base, and a gyroscope is installed in both the left and right earbuds. The gyroscope and the sound sensor are connected to the processor. The sound sensor is used to receive sound information received by the user in daily life and transmit it to the processor.

[0018] The processor extracts keyword information from the sound information, including but not limited to the user's name and nickname; when someone calls the user, the sound sensor obtains the location of the call; at the same time, the gyroscope obtains the user's rotation information. If the user's rotation angle and direction are inconsistent with the location of the call, the turning is determined to be unsuccessful; if the user's rotation angle and direction are consistent with the location of the call, the turning is determined to be successful; if the turning is unsuccessful, the left and right earphones prompt the user to adjust the gain coefficient.

[0019] Beneficial effects: The sound sensor can better capture the user's daily sound environment, including human voices and ambient noise, which helps to more accurately analyze the user's hearing needs. The gyroscope can capture the user's head rotation information, and combined with the sound sensor, it can more accurately determine the direction of the sound source, improving the user's auditory orientation ability.

[0020] By extracting keyword information from sound data, such as the user's name and nickname, it's possible to more intelligently analyze the user's daily hearing needs and provide more personalized hearing compensation solutions. When someone calls the user, the sound sensor can obtain the location information of the calling sound, and combine this with the user's rotation information obtained by the gyroscope to determine whether the user's turning was successful, thus providing more intelligent auditory prompts. If the turning is unsuccessful, the left and right earphones will prompt the user to adjust the gain coefficient, which can more easily solve hearing problems and improve the user's auditory experience.

[0021] Furthermore, when the gyroscope acquires the user's rotation information, it acquires multiple user rotation angle information, uses the processor to calculate the user's rotation angle difference, uses the user's rotation angle difference to obtain the parameters that need to be adjusted for the gain coefficients of the left and right earphones, and makes corresponding adjustments to the gain coefficients of the left and right earphones.

[0022] Beneficial effects: By acquiring multiple user rotation angle data, the system can more accurately capture the user's head rotation, reducing errors caused by head shaking or other factors. Calculating the difference in user rotation angles using a processor allows for a more accurate determination of whether the user's turn was successful, thus providing more precise auditory cues.

[0023] By obtaining the difference in the user's rotation angle, the parameters requiring adjustment of the gain coefficients of the left and right earpieces can be determined, allowing for precise adjustment of the gain coefficients and improving the user's auditory experience. Adjusting the gain coefficients of the left and right earpieces accordingly can better balance the auditory effect in both ears, improve auditory balance, and help reduce auditory fatigue. This design enhances the hearing aid's adaptability, better meets the user's personalized needs, and provides a more intelligent and precise auditory compensation solution.

[0024] Furthermore, when adjusting the gain coefficient of the left and right earphones using the display screen, the display screen can adjust the gain coefficient of the left or right earphones individually, or it can adjust the gain coefficient of the left and right earphones simultaneously.

[0025] Beneficial benefits: Individually adjusting the gain of the left or right earbud: In some situations, users may only need to adjust the gain of one earbud. For example, if a user is primarily in a noisy environment, they might need to increase the gain of the right earbud to better hear surrounding conversations. Conversely, if a user is primarily in a quiet environment, they might need to increase the gain of the left earbud to better hear distant sounds. Adjusting the gain of one earbud individually provides users with greater flexibility.

[0026] Simultaneously adjust the gain of both earbuds: In many situations, users may want to adjust the gain of both earbuds at the same time. For example, when the ambient noise level increases, a user may want to increase the gain of both earbuds to hear surrounding conversations better. Or, when a user moves from indoors to outdoors, they may want to decrease the gain of the indoor earbud while increasing the gain of the outdoor earbud to better adapt to the new environment. By adjusting the gain of both earbuds simultaneously, a smoother and more consistent listening experience can be provided.

[0027] Using a display screen to adjust the gain coefficient provides users with an intuitive and easy-to-understand user interface. Users can directly see the various options on the screen and directly select or adjust the corresponding gain coefficient. This design makes operation simpler and clearer, reducing the difficulty of use for users.

[0028] The display screen allows users to instantly see the results of gain coefficient adjustments, enabling them to immediately verify whether the adjustments have achieved the desired effect. This design allows users to make adjustments with greater confidence and also makes the equipment debugging process more efficient.

[0029] Furthermore, two charging contacts are provided on both sides of the cover, and the charging contacts are electrically connected to the battery. Two earphone charging contacts are provided on the top of the left and right earphones respectively, and the positions of the charging contacts on the cover correspond to the positions of the charging contacts on the cover.

[0030] Beneficial effects: By placing two charging contacts on the cover and two charging contacts on the top of the left and right earbuds, a convenient charging design is achieved. Users simply place the cover and earbuds on the charging dock to charge via the contacts, without needing to insert a data cable or other connecting wires. Because the charging contacts on the cover and earbuds are positioned correctly, good charging contact is ensured, enabling fast charging. This design significantly reduces charging time and brings convenience to users.

[0031] Compared to existing left and right earbuds, the current charging contacts are located at the bottom. Sweat and other impurities tend to accumulate on these contacts as they move downwards due to gravity, potentially leading to poor contact and affecting charging performance. Since the charging contacts are exposed to the external environment, contamination could pose safety hazards, such as the risk of electric shock. Because the charging contacts are located at the top of the earbud, sweat and other impurities are less likely to reach them, reducing the possibility of contamination. This keeps the contacts clean, ensuring stable charging.

[0032] Furthermore, elastic elements are provided at the bottom of each placement slot.

[0033] Beneficial effects: Because the elastic element has a cushioning effect, it can absorb some of the external force when the equipment is placed in the placement slot, thereby reducing the impact and vibration on the equipment. This design can protect the equipment from damage and extend its service life.

[0034] Furthermore, the elastic element includes a first spring and a baffle, with the bottom end of the first spring fixedly connected to the bottom of the placement groove and the baffle fixedly connected to the top end of the first spring.

[0035] Beneficial effects: By incorporating a first spring at the bottom of the placement slot, the device's elasticity is increased. This design reduces impact and vibration, protecting the device from damage. Because the first spring has a certain degree of flexibility, its length can be adjusted as needed, thus facilitating the adjustment of the device's elasticity. This design can meet the needs of different users, providing a more personalized user experience.

[0036] Furthermore, a pressure sensor is fixedly connected to the top of the baffle, and the pressure sensor is connected to the processor and controller via signals; a pusher is fixedly connected to the body of the cover, and the pusher is connected to the controller via signals. A second spring is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the pusher, and the end of the second spring away from the pusher is fixedly connected to the charging contacts of the cover.

[0037] Beneficial effects: When the pressure sensor receives pressure, the pusher pushes out the second spring and the cover charging contact. The pusher and the second spring facilitate the push out of the cover charging contact, ensuring a tight contact between the cover charging contact and the earphone charging contact, thus guaranteeing current flow and ensuring charging efficiency and quality. Attached Figure Description

[0038] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the headphone jack of a hearing-impaired electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0039] The following detailed description illustrates the specific implementation method:

[0040] The reference numerals in the accompanying drawings include: left earphone 1, right earphone 2, socket 3, base 4, cover 5, speaker 6, placement slot 7, display screen 8, camera 9, sound sensor 10, cover charging contact 11, and earphone charging contact 12.

[0041] Example 1

[0042] The basic implementation examples are as follows: Figure 1 As shown:

[0043] An earphone jack for a special electronic device for the hearing impaired includes a left earphone 1, a right earphone 2 and a jack 3. The jack 3 includes a base 4 and a cover 5. The cover 5 is hinged to one side of the base 4. A battery is provided in the base 4 for charging the left earphone 1 and the right earphone 2. The base 4 is provided with a placement slot 7 for placing the left earphone 1 and the right earphone 2.

[0044] The base 4 is equipped with a speaker 6, which is used to emit different audio sounds. The speaker 6 is connected to a processor. A display screen 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the base 4. The left earphone 1, the right earphone 2 and the display screen 8 are all connected to the processor. When the speaker 6 emits different audio sounds, the left earphone 1 and the right earphone 2 receive the sound. According to the hearing loss of the left and right ears, the gain coefficient of the left earphone 1 and the right earphone 2 is adjusted by the display screen 8.

[0045] A camera 9 is installed on the base 4. The camera 9 is connected to the processor. The camera 9 is used to receive the user's facial orientation image. When the assistant moves the base 4 and the speaker 6 on the base 4 continues to emit sound, the user closes his / her eyes and uses the left earphone 1 and right earphone 2 to identify the location of the sound emitted by the speaker 6, and turns his / her body to the side of the speaker 6. The camera 9 acquires the user's facial orientation image at this time and transmits it to the device processor.

[0046] The processor processes the user's facial orientation image, obtains the user's facial orientation direction parameters, and determines whether it is consistent with the position of speaker 6. When the user's facial orientation direction is consistent with speaker 6, the judgment is correct; when the user's facial orientation direction is inconsistent with speaker 6, the judgment is incorrect. After several judgments, when the accuracy rate reaches a preset value, the judgment is terminated. When the accuracy rate does not reach the preset value, the user readjusts the gain coefficients of the left earphone 1 and the right earphone 2.

[0047] The specific implementation process is as follows:

[0048] 1. Device Power-On and Initialization: At night, User A places the left earphone 1 and the right earphone 2 into the base 4. The battery inside the base 4 starts supplying power to the other components of the device. Every morning after waking up, User A turns on the device. The cover 5 of the socket 3 opens, and the left earphone 1 and the right earphone 2 pop out of the socket 3, ready to make contact with User A's ears.

[0049] 2. Sound Playback and Reception: The speaker 6 inside the base 4 starts working, emitting sounds of different frequencies. These sounds travel through the air to user A's left and right ears. At the same time, the camera 9 starts working, acquiring an image of user A's facial orientation.

[0050] 3. Gain Adjustment: User A can adjust the gain of the left earphone 1 and right earphone 2 using the display screen 8 according to their hearing loss. For example, if User A has poorer hearing in their right ear, they can increase the gain of the right earphone 2 to make the sound from the right earphone 2 louder.

[0051] 4. Sound Localization Training: After adjusting the gain coefficient, User A will be asked to identify the location of the sound emitted by Speaker 6 using the left earphone 1 and right earphone 2. With his eyes closed, he will identify the location of the sound emitted by Speaker 6 using the left earphone 1 and right earphone 2, and turn his body towards Speaker 6. Camera 9 will continuously acquire images of User A's facial orientation and transmit them to the processor.

[0052] 5. Image Processing and Judgment: The processor processes these images, calculates the angle of user A's face, and compares it with the position of speaker 6. If user A's body orientation matches the position of speaker 6, the judgment is correct; otherwise, it is incorrect. The result of each judgment is recorded for subsequent accuracy statistics.

[0053] 6. Training Feedback and Termination: After several rounds of assessment, the system will terminate the assessment when the accuracy rate reaches a preset value. This means that user A has been able to perceive and turn to the sound source relatively accurately using their left and right ears. At this point, the device will provide user A with successful feedback, such as a notification sound or a displayed animation effect.

[0054] 7. Readjustment and Training: If the accuracy rate does not reach the preset value, User A needs to readjust the gain coefficients of the left earphone 1 and the right earphone 2. After readjustment, he needs to retrain the sound localization until the accuracy rate reaches the preset value.

[0055] 8. Daily Use: Once training is complete and the accuracy reaches the preset value, User A can use this device to improve his sound perception in various daily scenarios. For example, when he goes to the kitchen to make breakfast, he can use this device to sense the heat on the stove and avoid burning the food due to excessive heat.

[0056] Example 2

[0057] The difference between this embodiment and the above embodiment is that: a sound sensor 10 is provided in the base 4, and a gyroscope is provided in both the left earphone 1 and the right earphone 2. The gyroscope and the sound sensor 10 are connected to the processor. The sound sensor 10 is used to receive sound information received by the user in daily life and transmit it to the processor.

[0058] The processor extracts keyword information from the sound information, including but not limited to the user's name and nickname; when someone calls the user, the sound sensor 10 obtains the location of the call; at the same time, the gyroscope obtains the user's rotation information. If the user's rotation angle and direction are inconsistent with the location of the call, the turning is determined to be unsuccessful; if the user's rotation angle and direction are consistent with the location of the call, the turning is determined to be successful; if the turning is unsuccessful, the left earphone 1 and right earphone 2 prompt the user to adjust the gain coefficient.

[0059] The specific implementation process is as follows:

[0060] 1. Device startup and operation of sound sensor 10: Every morning after waking up, user A turns on this device. At this time, the sound sensor 10 installed in the base 4 starts to work, which is used to receive sound information received by user A in daily life and transmit this information to the processor.

[0061] 2. Sound Information Processing: After receiving the information transmitted by the sound sensor 10, the processor extracts the keyword information. This keyword information includes, but is not limited to, user A's name and nickname. For example, when someone calls out, "User A, where are you?", the processor will extract the name "User A" as the keyword information.

[0062] 3. Direction Determination: When someone calls out to user A, the sound sensor 10 detects the location of the call. Simultaneously, the gyroscopes in the left earphone 1 and right earphone 2 detect user A's rotation information. If user A's rotation angle and direction do not match the location of the call, the direction is determined to be unsuccessful. For example, if the call comes from the right, but user A turns to the left, the direction is determined to be unsuccessful.

[0063] 4. Adjusting Gain: When switching fails, the processor will prompt user A to adjust the gain using the left earbud 1 and right earbud 2. For example, if user A has poor hearing in their left ear, they can increase the gain of the left earbud 1 to make the sound from the left earbud 1 louder.

[0064] 5. Reassessment: After adjusting the gain coefficient, User A needs to reassess the direction. If his rotation angle and direction match the location of the shouting sound, then the direction is considered successful.

[0065] 6. Daily Use: Once training is completed and the accuracy rate reaches the preset value, User A can use this device to improve his sound perception ability in various scenarios of daily life.

[0066] Throughout the process, the sound sensor 10 within the base 4 receives and transmits sound information to the processor, which analyzes the sound information and extracts keyword information. The gyroscopes within the left earphone 1 and right earphone 2 acquire the user's rotation information. When the user's rotation angle and direction align with the location of the shouting sound, the turning is considered successful; otherwise, the turning is considered unsuccessful, and the user is prompted to adjust the gain coefficient. Through this specific implementation process, this dedicated electronic device for the hearing impaired can help users like User A better perceive and locate sound sources, improve their communication abilities, and thus improve their quality of life.

[0067] Example 3

[0068] The difference between this embodiment and the above embodiment is that: when the gyroscope obtains the user's rotation information, it obtains the user's rotation angle information multiple times, uses the processor to calculate the user's rotation angle difference, uses the user's rotation angle difference to obtain the parameters that need to be adjusted for the gain coefficients of the left earphone 1 and the right earphone 2, and adjusts the gain coefficients of the left earphone 1 and the right earphone 2 accordingly.

[0069] The specific implementation process is as follows:

[0070] 1. Sound Playback and Reception: The speaker 6 inside the base 4 starts working, emitting sounds of different frequencies. These sounds travel through the air to the left and right ears of user A. At the same time, the camera 9 starts working to capture the orientation of user A's face; the sound sensor 10 inside the base 4 is used to receive sound information received by user A in daily life and transmit it to the processor.

[0071] 2. Gain Adjustment: User A adjusts the gain of the left earphone 1 and right earphone 2 using the display screen 8 according to their hearing loss. For example, if User A has poorer hearing in their right ear, they can increase the gain of the right earphone 2 to make the sound from the right earphone 2 louder.

[0072] 3. Direction Judgment and Parameter Adjustment: When someone calls out to user A, the sound sensor 10 detects the location of the call; simultaneously, the gyroscopes in the left earphone 1 and right earphone 2 acquire user A's rotation information. If user A's rotation angle and direction do not match the location of the call, the direction is determined to be unsuccessful. The processor extracts the difference in the user's rotation angle. By analyzing this difference, the processor can calculate the gain coefficient parameter that the user needs to adjust. For example, if user A's rotation angle difference is 10 degrees, the processor may calculate that the gain coefficient of the right earphone 2 needs to be increased by 10%.

[0073] 4. Readjustment and Training: When the switching fails, the processor will prompt user A to adjust the gain using the left earbud 1 and right earbud 2. For example, if a 10% increase in the gain of the right earbud 2 is needed, the processor can play a corresponding prompt tone or display a corresponding animation effect in the right earbud 2 to inform user A of the required adjustment. User A can then readjust the gain of both earbuds 2 according to these prompts.

[0074] 5. Training Feedback and Termination: After several rounds of assessment, the system will terminate the assessment when the accuracy rate reaches a preset value. This means that user A has been able to perceive and turn to the sound source relatively accurately using their left and right ears. At this point, the device will provide user A with successful feedback, such as a notification sound or a displayed animation effect.

[0075] Example 4

[0076] The difference between this embodiment and the above embodiment is that when adjusting the gain coefficient of the left earphone 1 and the right earphone 2 using the display screen 8, the display screen 8 can adjust the gain coefficient of the left earphone 1 or the right earphone 2 independently, or the display screen 8 can adjust the gain coefficient of the left earphone 1 and the right earphone 2 simultaneously.

[0077] The specific implementation process is as follows: After turning on the device, User A sees two options displayed on screen 8: adjust the gain of the left earphone 1 individually, adjust the gain of the right earphone 2 individually, and adjust the gain of both the left and right earphones simultaneously. If User A only wants to adjust the gain of the left or right earphone, he can select the corresponding option. For example, if he chooses to adjust the gain of the left earphone, a slider or numerical input box will appear on screen 8, allowing him to enter the desired gain value. After adjustment, User A can hear the adjusted sound through the left earphone 1.

[0078] If User A wants to adjust the gain of both the left and right earpieces simultaneously, they can select the option to adjust both at the same time. Two sliders or numerical input boxes will appear on display 8, one for adjusting the gain of the left earpiece (earpiece 1) and the other for adjusting the gain of the right earpiece (earpiece 2). User A can then input the desired gain values ​​for both the left and right earpieces. After adjustment, User A can hear the adjusted sound through both the left and right earpieces.

[0079] Regardless of which option user A chooses to adjust, display screen 8 will show his current gain value in real time, allowing him to understand his current settings at any time. If user A is not satisfied with the current settings, he can reselect the corresponding option and adjust it until he achieves the desired effect.

[0080] During daily use, User A can adjust the gain coefficients of the left and right ears at any time via the display screen 8 according to their needs. For example, when he needs to perceive the sound source more accurately, he can increase the corresponding gain coefficient; when he needs to reduce the volume, he can decrease the corresponding gain coefficient.

[0081] Example 5

[0082] The difference between this embodiment and the above embodiment is that: two cover charging contacts 11 are provided on both sides of the cover 5, and the cover charging contacts 11 are electrically connected to the battery. Two earphone charging contacts 12 are provided on the top of the left earphone 1 and the right earphone 2 respectively, and the positions of the cover charging contacts 11 correspond to the positions of the cover charging contacts 11.

[0083] The specific implementation process is as follows: Open the device and open the cover 5 so that the left earphone 1 and the right earphone 2 pop out from the socket 3. Since there are two cover charging contacts 11 on both sides of the cover 5, after the cover 5 is closed, the cover charging contacts 11 are electrically connected to the battery, and the battery can be charged through the cover charging contacts 11.

[0084] Example 6

[0085] The difference between this embodiment and the previous embodiment is that an elastic element is provided at the bottom of each placement groove 7. The elastic element includes a first spring and a baffle. The bottom end of the first spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the placement groove 7, and the baffle is fixedly connected to the top end of the first spring.

[0086] The specific implementation process is as follows: When it is necessary to place an item in the placement slot 7, the item can be placed on the baffle. Due to the elastic force of the first spring, when the weight of the item acts on the baffle, the baffle will press the first spring downward, causing the first spring to deform. When it is necessary to remove the item placed in the placement slot 7, the first spring can be restored to its original deformation by lifting the baffle upward, thereby removing the item from the placement slot 7.

[0087] Example 7

[0088] The difference between this embodiment and the above embodiment is that: a pressure sensor is fixedly connected to the top of the baffle, the pressure sensor is embedded in the baffle, and the pressure sensor is connected to the processor and the controller by signal; a pusher is fixedly connected to the cover 5 by screws, the pusher is a hydraulic cylinder, the pusher is connected to the controller by signal, and a second spring is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the pusher, and the end of the second spring away from the pusher is fixedly connected to the charging contact 11 of the cover.

[0089] The specific implementation process is as follows: When the pressure sensor receives pressure, it transmits the received pressure signal to the processor. The processor processes the pressure signal, converts it into an electrical signal, and then transmits it to the controller. The controller controls the pusher to push out the second spring and the cover charging contact 11. The pusher and the second spring push out the cover charging contact 11, so that the cover charging contact 11 is in close contact with the earphone charging contact 12.

Claims

1. A headphone jack for an electronic device specifically designed for the hearing impaired, characterized in that: It includes a left earphone, a right earphone, and a socket. The socket includes a base and a cover. The cover is hinged to one side of the base. A battery is installed in the base. The battery is used to charge the left earphone and the right earphone. The base has a slot for placing the left earphone and the right earphone. The base contains a speaker that emits different audio frequencies. The speaker signal is connected to a processor. A display screen is fixedly connected to one side of the base. The left earphone, the right earphone, and the display screen are all connected to the processor signal. When the speaker emits different audio frequencies, the left earphone and the right earphone pick up the sound. Based on the hearing loss of the left and right ears, the gain coefficient of the left earphone and the right earphone is adjusted using the display screen. A camera is installed on the base and is connected to the processor. The camera is used to receive the user's facial orientation image. When the assistant moves the base and the speaker on the base continues to emit sound, the user can identify the location of the speaker through the left and right earphones and turn their body to the side of the speaker. The camera then captures the user's facial orientation image at this time and transmits it to the device processor. The processor processes the user's facial orientation image, obtains the user's facial orientation direction parameters, and determines whether they are consistent with the speaker position. When the user's facial orientation direction is consistent with the speaker, the judgment is correct; when the user's facial orientation direction is inconsistent with the speaker, the judgment is incorrect. After several judgments, the judgment is terminated when the accuracy rate reaches a preset value. When the accuracy rate does not reach the preset value, the user readjusts the gain coefficients of the left and right earphones.

2. The headphone jack of the electronic device for the hearing impairment according to claim 1, characterized in that: The base contains a sound sensor, and both the left and right earbuds contain gyroscopes. The gyroscopes and sound sensors are connected to the processor. The sound sensor is used to receive sound information received by the user in daily life and transmit it to the processor. The processor extracts keyword information from the sound information, including but not limited to the user's name and nickname; when someone calls the user, the sound sensor obtains the location of the call; at the same time, the gyroscope obtains the user's rotation information. If the user's rotation angle and direction are inconsistent with the location of the call, the turning is determined to be unsuccessful; if the user's rotation angle and direction are consistent with the location of the call, the turning is determined to be successful. When the turning is unsuccessful, the user is prompted to adjust the gain using the left and right earpieces.

3. The headphone jack of the electronic device for the hearing impairment according to claim 2, characterized in that: When the gyroscope acquires the user's rotation information, it acquires multiple user rotation angle information, uses the processor to calculate the difference in user rotation angle, uses the difference in user rotation angle to obtain the parameters that need to be adjusted for the gain coefficients of the left and right earphones, and makes corresponding adjustments to the gain coefficients of the left and right earphones.
