Patent number: 11559224Abstract: An optimization system for testing a patient's hearing comprises a controller, an ear piece, and a memory. The controller: provides a series of tones to the ear piece; receives feedback from the patient between each tone; generates a data point to be used in an audiogram after receiving each feedback; after each data point is generated, computes a statistical distribution based on the generated data points; identifies an area of the statistical distribution most in need of additional data; and selects a subsequent tone to provide in the series of tones. Each feedback indicates whether the respective tone was detected or not detected, and each data point is based on the respective feedback. Each subsequent tone provided in the series of tones is a tone represented in the area of the statistical distribution most in need of additional data at the time of selection.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2021Date of Patent: January 24, 2023Assignee: Soundwave Hearing, LLCInventors: Christopher Boven, Reagan John Roberts

Patent number: 11213680Abstract: A system for controlling parameter settings of an auditory device includes: an auditory device processor; an auditory device output mechanism including modifiable parameter settings; an auditory input sensor that detects an environmental sound; a database in communication with the auditory device processor, the database pairing each of a plurality of sets of parameter settings with a corresponding sound profile; a memory in communication with the processor and including instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: receive the environmental sound detected by the auditory input sensor; analyze a frequency content of the environmental sound; compare the frequency content of the environmental sound with the sound profiles stored in the database and, in response to the comparison, select one of the sound profiles; and automatically adjust the parameter settings of the auditory device output mechanism to match the set of parameter settings associated with the selected sound profile.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2017Date of Patent: January 4, 2022Assignee: Soundwave Hearing, LLCInventors: Christopher L.

Patent number: 11076779Abstract: An optimization system for testing a patient's hearing comprising a controller, right and left ear pieces, and a memory. The controller provides a series of tones to the ear piece and receive feedback from the patient between each tone provided. The controller then generates a data point on an audiogram after receiving each feedback, wherein each data point is based on the respective feedback, and, after each data point is generated, compute a statistical distribution based on the generated data points. The controller then identifies an area of the audiogram most in need of additional data based on the statistical distribution and selects a subsequent tone to provide in the series of tones, wherein each subsequent tone provided in the series of tones is a tone represented in the area of the audiogram most in need of additional data at the time of selection.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2020Date of Patent: August 3, 2021Assignee: Soundwave Hearing, LLCInventors: Christopher Boven, Reagan John Roberts

Patent number: 10617334Abstract: An optimization system for testing a patient's hearing comprising a controller, right and left ear pieces, and a memory. The controller is configured to provide a series of tones to the right and left ear pieces and receive feedback from the patient between each tone provided, indicating that the respective tone was detected in one of the right ear piece and the left ear piece or that the respective tone was not detected. The controller is configured to also generate a data point on an audiogram after receiving each feedback and, after each data point is generated, compute a statistical distribution based on the generated data points, wherein the statistical distribution includes a lowest confidence level. A subsequent tone is selected, each subsequent tone provided in the series of tones being a tone represented at the lowest confidence level in statistical distribution at the time of selection.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2019Date of Patent: April 14, 2020Assignee: Soundwave Hearing, LLCInventors: Christopher Boven, Reagan John Roberts
