摘要: An illustrative hearing device includes a housing configured to be partially inserted into an ear canal; an acoustic transducer having an oscillator element configured to generate sound waves, the housing accommodating the acoustic transducer inside an inner volume of the housing; and a sound outlet provided at the housing and configured to enable propagation of sound waves from the inner volume into the ear canal. The acoustic transducer and the housing are configured such that an output impedance of the hearing device measured at the sound outlet has a value of at most 3.5·107 kg/(m4·sec) within a frequency bandwidth of at least 50 Hz comprised in a frequency range between 1000 Hz and 2000 Hz.

摘要: Methods, hearing systems and neural networks for audio signal processing are described. A hearing system comprises a neural network. An input audio signal is processed into an output audio signal at least partially by means of a processing unit of the hearing system. The audio signal processing of the input audio signal includes executing audio signal processing by the neural network for performing a step of the audio signal processing, determining a confidence parameter resembling the reliability of the audio signal processing by the neural network and steering the audio signal processing in dependence of the confidence parameter. A particularly suitable neural network is configured to solve a regression-based acoustic processing task and additionally determining the confidence parameter.

摘要: Systems and methods for two-way communication with a hearing device are disclosed. In one embodiment, an accessory for communication with a hearing device includes an acoustic filter, and a microphone configured as an acoustic receiver (RX) for acoustic signals from a speaker of the hearing device via the acoustic filter. The acoustic filter is configured to operate at at least one resonance frequency. The accessory is in acoustic and magnetic communication with the hearing device.

摘要: This invention relates to a device for insertion of a deep-in-the-canal hearing aid—alternatively designatable as extended wear hearing aid—into an ear canal of an individual user, at a pre-determined insertion depth (d) thereof. The insertion device comprises a customized support comprising an outer profile conforming to the shapes of at least a portion of a conchal cavity and of an ear canal of said individual user; and a guide channel, disposed internal to said outer profile, extending between a lateral entry opening thereof, for loading said hearing aid; and a medial exit opening thereof, for releasing said hearing aid into said ear canal. The present invention also relates to a method of manufacturing an insertion device for inserting a hearing aid deep into an ear canal of an individual hearing aid user, at a pre-determined insertion depth (d) thereof.

摘要: A hearing device arrangement includes two hearing devices which are connected to each other in a data transmitting manner. Each hearing device includes an audio input unit for obtaining an input audio signal, a processing unit for audio signal processing of the input audio signal to obtain an output audio signal, a neural network which, when executed by the processing unit performs a processing step of the audio signal processing, and an audio output unit for outputting the output audio signal. The hearing device arrangement is configured to transmit neural network data of the neural network of at least one of the hearing devices to the respective other hearing device to be used in the audio signal processing by the processing unit of the respective other hearing device.
