    摘要: Various system embodiments comprise a plurality of devices configured to wirelessly communicate with each other. The plurality of devices includes a battery-operated hearing aid configured to communicate with another device using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) wireless communication technology. A BLE tester is configured to test the hearing aid for the performance of BLE wireless communication via a wireless link. One embodiment uses a wireless test mode as a diagnostic tool for analyzing the wireless communication environment, such as when the communication with the hearing aid is interfered in a noisy environment.

    摘要: The signal processing functions of a hearing aid as described above necessarily cause some delay between the time the audio signal is received by the microphone or wireless receiver and the time that the audio is actually produced by the output transducer. In some situations, signal processing incorporating longer delays may be better able to improve signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) or other functional parameters for a hearing aid wearer, but a balance should be struck between these positive effects of delay and other negative effects. The techniques described herein address the problem of to balancing the positive and negative effects of delay.

    摘要: A hearing assistive device and method of using the same comprising receiving a first audio signal from an ambient microphone, receiving a second audio signal from a directional microphone, mixing the first and second audio signals according to a preference of the first user, and projecting the mixed first and second audio signals into an ear of the first user. The method can further comprise dampening ambient sound arriving directly at the ear by 5-30 decibels, by disposing an occlusive earpiece within the ear to reduce the ambient sound, and projecting the mixed first and second audio signals from a speaker into the ear of the first user to indirectly provide a desired volume of ambient sound to the ear of the first user. The method can further include establishing a group through at least one wireless handheld communication device to facilitate transmission among multiple hearing assistive devices.

    摘要: A method and system of conferencing can include the steps of initiating a conference call at a communication device with two or more communication devices and selecting to suppress a voice communication of at least one communication device on the conference call where a modified electronic signal is generated with the selected at least one communication device so that the voice communication from the selected at least one communication device is inaudible. The method or system further includes sending the modified electronic signal to at least one other communication device on the conference call. Other embodiments are disclosed.
