    摘要: An electromagnetic signal converter for a bone conduction receiver includes a soft-magnetic armature which is moveable relative to a pole that supports an electric coil, a permanent magnet, and a soft-magnetic yoke which forms a magnetic circuit with the permanent magnet, the pole, and the armature. First and second poles are provided, each having an electric coil. Both poles have an identical design and are arranged symmetrically on a common pole axis. The armature is arranged between the two poles, forming an axial working air gap. The permanent magnet is magnetized perpendicularly to the pole axis and is arranged radially outside of the armature, and the armature lateral surface facing the permanent magnet forms a radial air gap, via which the armature is magnetically coupled to the permanent magnet. The axial thickness of the permanent magnet is equal to or greater than the axial distance between the two poles.

    摘要: This disclosure relates to a hearing aid for placement on head of a user comprising a first second part. The first part may comprise an acoustic input transducer adapted to convert ambient sound picked up at the ear of the user to an electric signal, a signal processor adapted to process the electric signal according to specifications of user into a processed electric signal, and an output transducer adapted to covert the processed electric signal into a transmission signal, The second part may comprise an anchor adapted to fixate said second part under the skin to skull bone of the user, and a receiver adapted to receive the transmission signal and convert the transmission signal to an output signal perceivable as sound by the user. The first part may comprise an inner recess adapted to receive an insert element, where the insert element may comprise a first magnet adapted to in cooperation with the second part to cause the first part to attach to the head of the user.

    摘要: Presented herein are techniques for training a hearing prosthesis to classify/categorize received sound signals as either including a recipient's own voice (i.e., the voice or speech of the recipient of the hearing prosthesis) or external voice (i.e., the voice or speech of one or more persons other than the recipient). The techniques presented herein use the captured voice (speech) of the recipient to train the hearing prosthesis to perform the classification of the sound signals as including the recipient's own voice or external voice.

    摘要: An apparatus includes a support configured to be worn on a head of a recipient and to hold at least one device next to the recipient's skull. The at least one device provides information to the recipient. The support is configured to adjust a fit of the apparatus to the recipient and to actively adjust the fit in response to control signals while the support is worn by the recipient.
