Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of hearing aids, specifically a method for automatically adjusting hearing aid configuration parameters. Background Technology
[0002] A hearing aid is a small amplifier that amplifies sounds that are otherwise inaudible. It then uses the residual hearing of the hearing-impaired person to send the sound to the auditory center of the brain, allowing the person to perceive the sound. Hearing aids mainly consist of five parts: a microphone, an amplifier, an earphone, a power supply, and a volume control. Hearing aids are classified into air conduction hearing aids and bone conduction hearing aids according to their conduction method.
[0003] Currently, when users wear air conduction hearing aids and need to connect to smart devices to play audio, they need to manually adjust the sound effects and volume each time to ensure listening quality, which is quite troublesome. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the problems in the prior art, this invention provides a method for automatically adjusting hearing aid configuration parameters.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve its technical problem is: a method for automatically adjusting hearing aid configuration parameters, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Wear the hearing aid in your ear and connect it to a commonly used smart device. The user manually adjusts the audio playback volume and sound effects. The hearing aid reads the information of the connected smart device, disconnects from this smart device, connects to other smart devices, marks these smart devices, and records the audio parameters at the time of connection. Step 2: Select the smart device to use and connect it. The hearing aid detects the information of the connected smart device and automatically adjusts the volume of the corresponding smart device. If audio is being played, the audio parameters are automatically adjusted and the playback sound effects are changed. The user listens to the sound played by the smart device through the hearing aid. Step 3: Stop listening to the audio played by the smart device, turn off Bluetooth, and the hearing aid will return to normal use. It will automatically adjust and restore to normal parameters, collect ambient sounds, amplify them, and transmit them to the user as normal sounds.
[0006] Specifically, the smart devices used above are electronic devices with Bluetooth connectivity, such as mobile phones and tablets, which facilitate connection to hearing aids and transmit audio to the hearing aids for the user to listen to.
[0007] Specifically, the volume of the hearing aid when playing audio can be adjusted using a set sound button, ensuring that the user can hear external sounds while listening to audio.
[0008] Specifically, the hearing aid plays external sounds and audio from the smart device in different channels. The channel transmitting the audio from the smart device can be switched off by a switch. While playing the audio from the smart device, the hearing aid also collects external sounds, but the volume of the external sounds is lower than the volume of the audio from the smart device.
[0009] Specifically, when collecting external sounds, the hearing aid filters out sounds played by smart devices, ensuring that users can clearly hear external sounds while listening to audio played by smart devices.
[0010] Specifically, when the hearing aid is connected to a smart device, the indicator light will light up and flash continuously. When the connection is successful, the flashing will stop and a message indicating successful connection will be displayed.
[0011] Specifically, the volume of the hearing aid playing the smart device is synchronized with the volume of the connected smart device.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention records the information of connected smart devices. When wearing the hearing aid, if a connection to a smart device is required, it will be made via Bluetooth. The hearing aid will detect the smart device and automatically adjust the parameters according to the smart device information, that is, adjust the volume of the hearing aid and the sound effects played, without the need for manual operation by the user, which is more convenient.

[0014] Figure 1 A flowchart provided for this invention. Detailed Implementation
[0015] 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.
[0016] The present invention provides a method for automatically adjusting the configuration parameters of a hearing aid, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Wear the hearing aid in your ear and connect it to a commonly used smart device. The user manually adjusts the audio playback volume and sound effects. The hearing aid reads the information of the connected smart device, disconnects from this smart device, connects to other smart devices, marks these smart devices, and records the audio parameters at the time of connection. Step 2: Select the smart device to use and connect it. The hearing aid detects the information of the connected smart device and automatically adjusts the volume of the corresponding smart device. If audio is being played, the audio parameters are automatically adjusted and the playback sound effects are changed. The user listens to the sound played by the smart device through the hearing aid. Step 3: Stop listening to the audio played by the smart device, turn off Bluetooth, and the hearing aid will return to normal use. It will automatically adjust and restore to normal parameters, collect ambient sounds, amplify them, and transmit them to the user as normal sounds.
[0017] The aforementioned smart devices are electronic devices with Bluetooth connectivity, such as mobile phones and tablets, which facilitate connection to hearing aids and transmit audio to them for the user to listen to.
[0018] The volume of the hearing aid when playing audio can be adjusted using a set sound button, ensuring that the user can hear external sounds while listening to audio.
[0019] The hearing aid plays external sounds and audio from a smart device in different channels. The channel transmitting the audio from the smart device can be switched off by a switch. The hearing aid also collects external sounds while playing the audio from the smart device, but the volume of the external sounds is lower than the volume of the audio from the smart device.
[0020] The hearing aid, when collecting external sounds, filters out sounds played by smart devices, ensuring that users can clearly hear external sounds while listening to audio played by smart devices.
[0021] The indicator light set when the hearing aid is connected to a smart device will light up and flash continuously. When the connection is successful, the flashing will stop and a message indicating successful connection will be displayed.
[0022] The volume of the hearing aid playing the smart device is synchronized with the volume of the connected smart device.
