    摘要: An Internet-connected system and method for adapting a hearing configuration in a smart environment includes a hearing system including a hearing device. The hearing system connects to the Internet and transmits or receives an identification parameter corresponding to the hearing system. The hearing system receives a hearing program parameter over the Internet for configuring the hearing device when the hearing system is within a smart environment defined by a smart space system. The hearing program parameter computed is based on an environmental parameter measured within the smart environment by a sensor system of the smart space system. The hearing program parameter is sent to the hearing system over the Internet in response to a discovery system of the smart space system detecting the presence of the hearing system in the smart environment in response to receiving the identification parameter. The hearing device is programmed based on the hearing program parameter.

    摘要: Various embodiments of a hearing device including an image sensor are disclosed. The hearing device can include a housing, a user sensory interface connected to the housing, an image sensor connected to the housing, and an acoustic sensor connected to the housing. The device can also include a processor that is adapted to process image data from the image sensor to identify an image object, process acoustic data from the acoustic sensor, and determine a spatial location of the image object based upon at least one of the processed image data and the processed acoustic data. The processor can also be adapted to provide the spatial location to the user sensory interface, which can provide a sensory stimulus to the user that is representative of the spatial location of the image object.

    摘要: A system and method of determining a filter to cancel feedback signals from input signals in a hearing assistance device includes determining feedback signals for a plurality of feedback paths associated with the device, and determining a model of the plurality of feedback paths, with the model having an invariant portion and a time varying portion. A probable structure of the invariant portion is determined to generate a structural constraint to constrain the plurality of feedback paths, and probability distributions to impose the structural constraint on the invariant portion are determined. During an iterative process, the invariant portion is iteratively determined using the determined probability distributions and the feedback path measurements. A measurement noise variance representative of model mismatch is updated, for each iteration, to reduce a probability of a non-desirable determination of an invariant filter, and the invariant filter is determined in response to a criterion for ending the iterative process being satisfied.
