Abstract: A diagnostic system for recording auditory steady-state responses of a person comprises a) a stimulation unit for providing an acoustic stimulus signal to an ear of the person, and b) a recording unit for recording the auditory steady-state responses of the person origination from said acoustic stimulus signal, wherein the stimulation unit is configured to provide that the acoustic stimulus signal comprises a speech-like stimulus provided as a combination of a series of individual frequency-specific stimuli, each having a specified, e.g. predetermined, frequency bandwidth, presentation rate, amplitude and amplitude-modulation. The application further relates to a combined system comprising a diagnostic system and a hearing aid. The invention may e.g. be used for diagnostic instruments for verifying the fitting of a hearing aid.

Abstract: A hearing system includes a processing device, a hearing aid adapted to be worn by a user, and a data logger. The hearing aid includes an input transducer providing an electric input signal representing sound in the environment of the user, and a hearing aid processor executing a processing algorithm in dependence of a specific parameter setting. The data logger stores time segments of said electric input signal, and data representing a corresponding user intent. The processing device comprises a simulation model of the hearing aid. The simulation model is based on a learning algorithm configured to provide a specific parameter setting optimized to the user's needs in dependence of a hearing profile of the user, the logged data, and a cost function. A method of determining a parameter setting for a hearing aid is further disclosed.

Abstract: The present application relates to an electrophysiologically based Spectro-Temporal Modulation (STM) test unit. The STM test unit comprises an STM stimulus generating unit, an output unit, wherein the STM stimulus generating unit is configured to provide STM test stimuli comprising at least one STM probe stimulus to a user via the output unit according to a predetermined STM test protocol. The STM test unit further comprises one or more electrodes for measuring electrophysiological responses of the user, and an analysis unit configured to analyse the recorded electrophysiological responses of the user measured in response to the provided stimuli. The present application further relates to a method of electrophysiologically based STM testing of a user.

Abstract: The application relates to a method for recording auditory steady-state responses responses of a person, the method comprising a) providing an acoustic stimulus signal to an ear of the person, b) recording the auditory steady-state responses of the person originating from said acoustic stimulus signal. The application further relates to a system. The object of the present application is to excite the auditory system with a signal capable of assessing the auditory systems ability to process speech. The problem is solved in that the acoustic stimulus signal comprises a speech-like stimulus provided as a combination of a series of frequency-specific stimuli, each having a specified (e.g. predetermined) frequency bandwidth, presentation rate, amplitude and amplitude-modulation. An advantage of the disclosure is that it allows a clinical assessment of the effect of a hearing device in a normal mode of operation, i.e. when processing speech stimuli. The invention may e.g.
