An exemplary system includes a sensor configured to output sensor data and a hearing device comprising a processor. The processor of the hearing device may be configured to detect, based on the sensor data, a triggering event that occurs during use of the hearing device by a recipient of the hearing device. The triggering event may be indicative of possible damage to at least one of the hearing device or the recipient. The processor may further, apply, in response to the detecting of the triggering event, stimulation to the recipient, detect a signal that occurs in response to the stimulation and that is recorded by an electrode associated with the hearing device, compare the signal to a baseline signal recorded by the electrode prior to the triggering event, and determine, based on the comparing of the signal to the baseline signal, an operational effectiveness state of the hearing device.

The application provides a hearing aid pickup regulation method based on spatial unmasking, comprising the following steps: constructing virtual spatial audio; the virtual spatial audio comprises target sound and masking sound; adjusting the bone conduction stimulation perceived loudness of a bone conduction device under the same virtual spatial audio to be equal to the air conduction device; performing speech recognition threshold test under the virtual spatial audio, and calculating the spatial separation angle of the target sound and the masking sound starting to produce spatial unmasking; performing beam incidence interference to the spatial separation angle direction above the preset spatial separation angle threshold, the application increases the GSC beam forming algorithm for regulation, and increases the beam forming algorithm for listeners with poor spatial unmasking ability; while increasing the speech recognition ability of the listener using the hearing aid, the algorithm complexity can be minimized according to the measured separation angle starting to produce spatial unmasking for regulation, and the practicability of the hearing aid is increased.

A computing system includes a memory and at least one processor. The memory is configured to store motion data indicative of motion of a hearing instrument. The at least one processor is configured to determine a type of activity performed by a user of the hearing instrument and output data indicating the type of activity performed by the user.

This utility model discloses a portable hearing aid, including a shell, a microphone, a speaker, and a control circuit board. The microphone and speaker are electrically connected to the control circuit board. The microphone is used to receive external sound signals and transmit the sound signals to the control circuit board. The control circuit board is used to receive the sound signals transmitted by the microphone, process the sound signals, generate processed audio signals, and transmit the audio signals to the speaker. The speaker is used to receive the audio signals transmitted by the control circuit board and convert the audio signals into sound output. The shell has a grip with an arc shape. The arc design can closely fit the natural curve of the user's palm, improving the comfort of holding the device. The shell is provided with a lanyard hole, allowing the user to hang the hearing aid around their neck with a lanyard for easy carrying and to prevent loss. When the hearing aid needs to be used, the user can hold the hearing aid close to their ear using the grip. When not in use, the user can hang it around their neck with the lanyard.

The present invention relates to a smart hearing aid, a main body of which is a pair of glasses that can project keywords and key images onto lenses. The pair of glasses comprises a frame and two lenses integrated therewith. A control apparatus is provided inside a side portion of the frame, and the control apparatus comprises a smart chip and a projector. The smart chip can receive external speech, and determine and select keywords therefrom, and the projector is then used to project the "keywords" and "key images" onto the lenses, so as to allow a hearing-impaired user to accelerate their comprehension of others' speech by using the hearing aid in conjunction with the visually observable "keywords" and "key images" when the user fails to understand the meaning of others' speech using the hearing aid alone. Moreover, the smart chip can convert the received external speech into synthesized sound and transmit the synthesized sound to the user's hearing aid, so as to provide clear and noise-free dialogue sound, thereby further helping the user understand others' true intent, and facilitating the real-time communication between the user and others.

Disclosed is a bone conduction hearing aid with a whistle prevention function, including two shells and a connection part attached to opposing sidewalls of the shells. An upper part of the connection part is arc-shaped. Each shell includes a headphone arranged on an inward-facing side. A partition is horizontally set in the middle of the shell. A power source is arranged on one side of a bottom of the partition. An assistive microphone is located on one side of the power source and extends through to the outside. A main controller is arranged on an opposite side of the bottom of the partition. A whistle monitoring and protection mechanism is located in the middle of the partition to fulfill whistle monitoring during use of the hearing aid. A whistle sensor, upon detecting a whistle, transmits a signal to the main controller to selectively cuts off the assistive microphones or headphones.
