Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of hearing aids, in particular to an AI hearing aid. Background Art
[0002] A hearing aid is an electronic device that helps people with hearing loss improve their hearing. Existing hearing aids need to be worn on the ear during use. External sounds are amplified by the hearing aid and then enter the ears of people with hearing loss to help them obtain information through the hearing aid.
[0003] During the use of existing hearing aids, when used in a noisy environment, due to the hearing impairment of people with hearing loss, the hearing aid will collect both environmental noise and human voices in a noisy environment and amplify the collected sounds to play them into the ears of people with hearing loss. Since people with hearing loss have hearing impairments, the sounds mixed with environmental noise will partially cover the human voices, making it difficult for people with hearing loss to understand the meaning of the human voices or distinguish the human voices mixed with noise, which will lead to errors in information acquisition by people with hearing loss and may even aggravate hearing impairment in severe cases, making it inconvenient to use the hearing aid.

The sound separation module 125 of the mobile terminal device 120 first separates the signal to generate independent human voice signals and noise signals.
[0161] The separated noise signal is transmitted to the noise reduction module 1221. The noise reduction module 1221 generates a waveform opposite to the noise signal and eliminates the noise signal through reverse waveform cancellation technology. Utilizing the coherence of the waveforms, the noise is cancelled by superimposing opposite waveforms.
[0162] The sound signal after noise cancellation is mainly the human voice signal. The amplification module 1222 receives these signals and performs enhancement processing on them, making the human voice signal clearer and louder.
[0163] The amplified clear human voice signal is transmitted back to the hearing aid device 110 through the second wireless connection module 123 and the first wireless connection module 113.
[0164] The hearing aid device 110 receives the processed sound signal and plays the clear human voice to the user through its internal player 116.
[0165] Through reverse waveform cancellation technology, the background noise is effectively removed, enabling users to clearly hear human voices in noisy environments, significantly improving the hearing effect and daily communication ability of hearing-impaired people.
[0166] The amplification module 1222 enhances the human voice signal, ensuring that users can clearly hear important sound information at a lower volume, reducing hearing fatigue and discomfort.
[0167] Through precise noise cancellation and human voice enhancement, the system significantly reduces the interference of background noise on the human voice, reducing the risk of users mishearing and missing key information.

[0173] The second wireless connection module 123 of the mobile terminal device 120 receives the sound signal to be processed. The noise reduction module 1221 in the sound processing module 122 first processes the sound signal to remove background noise.
[0174] Subsequently, the amplification module 1222 enhances the human voice signal that has undergone noise reduction processing to improve the clarity of the human voice.
[0175] The mobile terminal device 120 sends the processed sound signal back to the hearing aid device 110 through the second wireless connection module 123.
[0176] The first wireless connection module 113 of the hearing aid device 110 receives the processed sound signal.
[0177] The voice module 112 plays the processed clear voice signal to the hearing-impaired person.
[0178] Through the noise reduction and amplification processing of the mobile terminal device 120, the hearing aid can effectively separate and enhance the voice signal in a noisy environment, significantly improving the hearing effect of the hearing-impaired person.
[0179] The noise reduction processing reduces the interference of background noise to the user, enabling the user to hear and understand the voice more clearly, avoiding incorrect information acquisition, and improving the convenience and accuracy of daily communication.
[0180] Due to the enhanced clarity of the voice, the user does not need to turn up the volume very high to hear the sound clearly, thereby reducing the risk of further hearing damage.
