Patent number: 9503824Abstract: A method for adjusting a parameter on a consumer electronics device is arranged for outputting a hearing loss compensated signal having a plurality of parameters. The consumer electronics device comprises processing means arranged for processing an audio input signal and for generating an audio output signal which is a hearing loss compensated version of the audio input signal. The method comprises producing with the consumer electronics device the audio output signal to be presented to a user. A rotation applied to the consumer electronics device such that the rotation is in a first direction in a substantial horizontal plane and, adjusting at least one parameter relates to the audio output signal's dynamic range, whereby the rotation in the first direction corresponds to a reduction of the dynamic range and a rotation in a direction opposite to the first direction to an increase of the dynamic range, or vice versa.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2013Date of Patent: November 22, 2016Assignee: JACOTI BVBAInventors: Jacques Kinsbergen, Joachim Neumann, Nicolas Wack, Nun Mendez Rodriguez, Andrzej Zarowski

Patent number: 9055377Abstract: A personal communication device provides hearing support, and includes an input receiving an audio signal, a programmable processor, and an output outputting the processed signal. The programmable processor performs a filtering operation on a digital version of the audio signal in a first signal path based on parameter settings and provides control logic that determines the parameter settings based on information on user preferences, on audiological information and on information on the listening situation to provide hearing loss compensation. The programmable processor has a second signal path in parallel with the first signal path that receives the digital version of the audio signal and parameter settings and determining the filter coefficients of the filtering operation based on the parameter settings and the digital version of the audio signal.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2011Date of Patent: June 9, 2015Assignee: JACOTI BVBAInventors: Jacques Kinsbergen, Frans Erwin Offeciers, Andrzej Zarowski, Joachim Neumann, Andreas Beisler, Amaury Hazan, Nicolas Wack

Patent number: 4932405Abstract: A system is described for stimulating a nerve or a muscle fibre of a living body including a hearing nerve in the cochlea. The system includes an implant and an electrode for stimulating the nerve or the fibre, which electrode is connected to the implant. To supply electrical power to the implant, a small transformer is used, of which one coil is implanted into the body and the other is outside the body but in the vicinity of the implanted coil. Where the system is used to enhance hearing, the implanted coil is selectively positioned around the auditory duct and the outer coil is inserted into the duct, so that both coils are substantially coaxial. For supplying information to the implant, infrared transmission through the skin is used, wherein the transmitter is provided adjacent to the skin and the receiver on the outside of the body.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 1987Date of Patent: June 12, 1990Assignee: Antwerp Bionic Systems N.V.Inventors: Stefaan Peeters, William A.
