Publication number: 20230353952Abstract: A hearing aid adapted for being worn by a user comprises at least two microphones, providing respective at least two electric input signals representing sound; a filter bank converting the at least two electric input signals into signals as a function of time and frequency; a directional system connected to said at least two microphones and being configured to provide a filtered signal in dependence of said at least two electric input signals and fixed or adaptively updated beamformer weights. At least one direction to a target sound source is defined as a target direction. For each frequency band, one of said at least two microphones is selected as a reference microphone, thereby providing a reference input signal for each frequency band. The reference microphone for a given frequency band may be selected in dependence of directional data related to directional characteristics of the at least two microphones.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 6, 2023Publication date: November 2, 2023Applicant: Oticon A/SInventors: Michael Syskind Pedersen, Jesper Jensen, Christian Asp Mogensen

Patent number: 11743661Abstract: A hearing aid includes at least two microphones, providing respective at least two electric input signals representing sound around the user; a filter bank converting the electric input signals into signals as a function of time and frequency; a directional system connected to the microphones and being configured to provide a filtered signal in dependence of the electric input signals and fixed or adaptively updated beamformer weights. At least one direction to a target sound source is defined as a target direction. For each frequency band, one of the microphones is selected as a reference microphone, thereby providing a reference input signal for each frequency band. The reference microphone may be selected in dependence of directional data related to directional characteristics of the microphones. The reference microphone may be different for at least two frequency bands. The reference microphone may be adaptively selected based on a logic criterion.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2022Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignee: Oticon A/SInventors: Michael Syskind Pedersen, Jesper Jensen, Christian Asp Mogensen

Publication number: 20230148224Abstract: There is presented a hearing device for being placed at least partially in an ear canal. The hearing device includes a rechargeable battery, and at least two charging areas on the surface of the hearing device, the charging areas enabling recharging the rechargeable battery by applying a voltage from one charging area to another charging area. At least one charging area is positioned on the hearing device at the end of the hearing device facing into the middle ear during use and optionally out of contact with the walls of the ear canal during use.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 7, 2022Publication date: May 11, 2023Applicant: Oticon A/SInventors: Poul HENRIKSEN, Mikkel Finmand Kjær NIELSEN, Jens TROELSEN, Christian Asp MOGENSEN, Michel BERG

Publication number: 20220095058Abstract: A hearing device with an adjustable vent is disclosed. The device includes at least one microphone configured to provide an input signal representing sound, a processor configured to process the input signal and provide a processed signal, at least one loudspeaker configured to receive the processed signal from the processor and to provide an acoustic signal based on the processed signal to the ear of a user, an earpiece comprising a vent, and an electrically controllable valve configured to control the vent, and a valve control unit configured to receive one or more control signals in dependence of a current hearing situation of the hearing device, wherein the valve control unit is configured to adjust the electrically controllable valve in dependence of the one or more control signals to provide the vent to be in a state between an acoustically more open and an acoustically less open state.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 6, 2021Publication date: March 24, 2022Applicant: Oticon A/SInventors: Anders Højsgaard THOMSEN, Karsten Bo RASMUSSEN, Svend Oscar PETERSEN, Edvinas BUREIKA, Christian Asp MOGENSEN, Troels Holm PEDERSEN, Gorm DANNESBOE, Jacob Anders ROUG, Mathias Bruun LARSEN, Mikkel NIELSEN
