Abstract: A cochlear implant hearing aid system is disclosed. The cochlear implant hearing aid system comprises an external part. The external part includes a sound pickup unit configured to pick up sound from the environment and a sound processing unit configured to process said sound. The cochlear implant hearing aid system further comprises an implant part. The implant part includes an implant processing unit and a plurality of cochlea stimulation electrodes for stimulation of a cochlea of a user. The cochlear implant hearing aid system further comprises a near-infrared transmitter configured to transmit a near-infrared wave. The cochlear implant hearing aid system further comprises a near-infrared receiver configured to receive said near-infrared wave.

Abstract: The disclosure presents a hearing device system and a method for adjusting hearing aid configuration, where a user is wearing a hearing device, the method comprising transmitting a first background sound signal to the hearing device, transmitting a first sound pattern to the hearing device, evaluating, via a camera unit, a first pupillary information of a first eye of the user in response to a first sound scene comprising the first background sound signal and the first sound pattern.

Abstract: The application relates to a hearing device, e.g. a hearing aid, comprising a first part for being inserted in an ear canal or fully or partially implanted in the head of a user, the first part comprising at least one electrode unit, termed a PR-electrode unit, for making contact to skin or tissue of a user when mounted or implanted in an operational condition, the at least one PR-electrode unit being configured to pick up a physiological response from the user, and wherein the at least one PR-electrode unit comprises an electrically conductive material, e.g. a shape memory alloy. The first part may comprise an implanted part, e.g. in combination with an external part adapted for being located in an ear canal, wherein both parts comprise one or more PR-electrode units. The invention may e.g. be used hearing aids, headsets, ear phones, active ear protection systems, or combinations thereof, e.g. to control processing of the hearing device or to monitor a condition of the user wearing the hearing device.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a concept for adjusting a hearing aid device. A sound pattern is provided to a person wearing the hearing aid device configured according to current hearing aid settings. The person's pupils are evaluated to obtain pupillary information in response to the sound pattern perceived via the hearing aid device. The current hearing aid settings are adjusted based on the pupillary information.
