摘要:
A hearing aid (2) is disclosed. The hearing aid (2) comprises a microphone (24) adapted to receive sound signals (18), an amplifier (26) configured to amplify signals (18) received by the microphone (24) and output means (e.g. a receiver) (22). The hearing aid (2) is configured to detect if speech (18) is received by the microphone (24) and the hearing aid (2) is configured to provide amplification of the detected sound signals (18) according to a non-speech mode when no speech (18) is detected. The hearing aid (2) is configured to provide amplification of the detected sound signals (18) according to a speech mode when speech (18) is detected. The amplification carried out according to the non-speech mode is different from the amplification carried out according to the speech mode. The invention also discloses a method for amplifying sound signals (18) received by a microphone (24) in a hearing aid (2).
摘要:
An apparatus controlling a hearing device (21, 25) to recognise wearer gestures when the housing (2) is in an operating position. Reference electrode (3) coupled capacitively to a body area (6). Signal generator (30) provides an electric probe signal between the sensor electrode (4) and the reference electrode (3); a first measurement circuit (33) determines the impedance between the sensor electrode (4) and the reference electrode (3); a detector (34) recognises said gestures in dependence on the signal values; a control unit (38) provides commands to the hearing device (21, 25) in dependence on recognised gestures. The signal generator (30) provides the electric probe signal at multiple signal frequencies; the measurement circuit (33) determines the signal values at multiple signal frequencies; and the detector (34) recognises the gestures in dependence on changes in ratios between the signal values determined at different signal frequencies.
