  • Publication number: 20230403518
    Abstract: A hearing aid adapted for being worn by a user comprises a housing configured to enclose components of the hearing aid; a forward audio signal path for receiving an audio signal, processing the audio signal and providing an output signal in dependence of said processed audio signal; a mechanical activation element for controlling functionality of said hearing aid, wherein the mechanical activation element is located on said housing and emits an acoustic signature when activated; and a vibration sensor configured to pick up acoustic vibrations in air or mechanical vibrations of said housing and to provide a sensor signal indicative thereof; and a controller for analyzing said sensor signal for occurrences of said acoustic signature to thereby identify and generate a specific control input for controlling said functionality of the hearing aid. Thereby an improved hearing aid may be provided.

  • Publication number: 20230386291
    Abstract: A first transceiver of a gaming device receives a validation request from a mobile device. The gaming device determines that the mobile device is authorized to provide remote input to the gaming device and provides a token to the mobile device. A signal strength threshold for a second transceiver of the gaming device is modified from a first signal strength threshold associated with a first distance between the second transceiver and the mobile device to a second signal strength threshold associated with a second distance greater than the first distance. The second transceiver receives a remote connection request from the mobile device. In response to determining that the remote connection request meets the second signal strength threshold and that the remote connection request comprises the token, the gaming device allows the mobile device to provide remote input instructions to the gaming device.

  • Publication number: 20230380750
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods, systems and non-transitory computer readable media of estimating hearing thresholds using auditory brainstem responses (ABR). An example method includes: presenting at least one stimulus to a subject; receiving first ABR signals responsive to the at least one stimulus; fitting a model to at least the first ABR signals to provide a fitted model; generating, using the fitted model, predicted hearing thresholds across a range of frequencies and uncertainty associated with the hearing thresholds; determining a next stimulus based, at least in part, on the uncertainty associated with the hearing thresholds; and presenting the next stimulus to the subject.
