Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If hearing aid fitting requires face-to-face communication with audiologists in offline stores, then the fitting process can be performed with professional guidance, but the process becomes cumbersome and efficiency is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables users to perform hearing tests and configure hearing aid parameters autonomously through a computer program interface, eliminating the need for face-to-face communication with audiologists. Users can complete the entire fitting process independently, including hearing threshold testing, result analysis, and parameter adjustment, thereby dramatically improving fitting efficiency while maintaining professional-quality outcomes through algorithmic guidance
2Reliability
If hearing aid fitting is performed through offline store visits with audiologists, then professional adjustment can be ensured, but user convenience is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system replaces the mechanical interaction of in-person audiologist consultation with a digital computer program interface. The program provides professional-grade hearing assessment and configuration capabilities through automated algorithms, while users interact conveniently through their existing devices, eliminating geographical and temporal constraints of offline store visits
3Ease of operation
If a comprehensive hearing test and configuration system is implemented through a computer program, then operating threshold is reduced and efficiency is improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system integrates multiple functions including hearing threshold testing, result analysis, and hearing aid parameter configuration into a single computer program. This multi-functional integration allows the system to perform comprehensive hearing assessments and generate personalized fitting recommendations without requiring users to interact with multiple separate tools or visit physical locations, thereby reducing operating threshold despite the enhanced capabilities

AI summary
An audio signal processing method includes: displaying a hearing test control in a human-computer interaction interface; outputting a first test audio signal in response to a trigger operation on the hearing test control; displaying a first hearing test result of a target object in response to a feedback operation on the first test audio signal; and transmitting, to an audio device in response to a configuration operation on the audio device, a first hearing assistance policy generated according to the first hearing test result. The first hearing assistance policy is configured to be applied to the audio device to output a first audio signal adapted to the first hearing test result.
