摘要： The present invention is a TV hearing system that generally includes an analog or digital TV broadcast signal feeding a hearing health interface that subsequently drives the input of a standard television. The hearing health interface further includes a receiver, a digital signal processor (DSP) logic block, a driver, an input/output (I/O) device, and optionally a direct audio driver and/or a radio frequency (RF) transmitter. Pre-established data representing a personal hearing profile of a hearing impaired user that includes correction factors for compensating for the hearing problem is supplied to the DSP logic block. The DSP logic block then selectively modifies the audio relating to the TV broadcast and presents the enhanced audio to the user. Additionally, the present invention includes a business method of establishing a hearing health network to which users may subscribe.

摘要： Method and system (400) for becoming aware of some hearing loss and the need for a professional hearing test. Simple and professional hearing testing provide an understanding of the improvement in the quality of life that can be achieved through use of a hearing aid. Ordering and fitting of the hearing aid, and training on use of a hearing aid, are performed to further demonstrate and provide for improved quality of life. The system (400) includes a user (410), a hearing test unit (415), a test administrator computer (420), a pair of headphones (422), a keyboard (423), a monitor (426), a series of hearing test programs (446), a central hearing health system (440), a database, a device (433), and a set of individual results.

摘要： The present invention is a system for and method of adjusting hearing aids (130) by discrete frequency ranges (fig.3a); continual tuning and reprogramming of the hearing aid is accomplished in real time via iterations between a patient (with hearing aid in ear, 120) and an audiologist (131). A test tone or other sound is played and the patient gives feedback on the test tonei’s suitability (such as loudness). The hearing aid (130) is further tuned and reprogrammed accordingly as the sound is replayed and the patient (120) gives additional feedback. These steps continue until the patient (120) considers the hearing optimized, compensating for both the patient's hearing loss and individual preferences in the discrete frequency ranges. The following are twelve commonly tested frequency ranges: 125 Hz, 250 Hz, 750 Hz, 1000 Hz, 1500 Hz, 2000 Hz, 3000 Hz, 4000 Hz, 5000 Hz, 6000 Hz, 8000Hz, and 10,000 Hz.

摘要翻译： 本发明是一种通过离散频率范围调节助听器（130）的系统和方法（图3a）。 助听器的持续调谐和重新编程通过患者（使用耳朵助听器，120）和听力学家（131）之间的迭代实时完成。 播放测试音或其他声音，患者对测试音调的适应性（如响度）给出反馈。 当声音被重放时，助听器（130）被进一步调谐和重新编程，并且患者（120）给出额外的反馈。 这些步骤继续进行，直到患者（120）认为听力被优化，补偿了患者的听力损失和离散频率范围内的个人喜好。 以下是十二个通常测试的频率范围：125 Hz，250 Hz，750 Hz，1000 Hz，1500 Hz，2000 Hz，3000 Hz，4000 Hz，5000 Hz，6000 Hz，8000 Hz和10,000 Hz。

摘要： The present invention relates to hearing aid training systems (100). More particularly, the present invention relates to the simulation of a hearing aid environment (108) prior to a user’s (105) purchase of a hearing aid. To create the simulated environment, the user’s hearing profile (111) is collected from all prior hearing tests. Prior hearing tests include information on all aspects of the user’s hearing, such as frequency and speech intelligibility. The software program (126) of this invention, and the audiologist using the software program (126), analyzes the user’s hearing profile and creates a simulation that demonstrates to the user how he or she would hear with a hearing aid. Furthermore, this invention provides a way to make additional adjustments to the hearing aid’s DSP data based upon user preferences prior to ordering the individual customized hearing aid.

摘要： There is shown a method of treating household waste comprising separation, shredding and dewatering steps, as well as detoxifying steps, prior to mixing the household waste with an alkali solution and thereafter mixing the alkali solution and household waste mixture with a dry mixture of cement and aggregate to form a concrete mixture. The concrete mixture can then be used in the construction of building elements or may in turn be used as an aggregate material in future concrete mixtures. Expensive composting steps are thereby avoided and the household waste is handled in an environmentally secure, yet efficient manner.

摘要： An electrochromic device is disclosed having a selective ion transport layer (50) which separates an electrochemically active material (30) from an electrolyte (40) containing a redox active material. The devices are particularly useful as large area architectural and automotive glazings due to their reduced back reaction.
