Publication number: 20240259741Abstract: A method for determining ambient noise during a self-fitting hearing test performed via a set of hearing devices is disclosed herein. The set of hearing devices comprises a first hearing device configured to be worn at a first ear of a user and a second hearing device configured to be worn at a second ear of the user. The method comprises: performing, via the first hearing device, a first hearing test on the first ear of the user; obtaining, via the second hearing device, an input signal while the first hearing test is being performed, wherein the input signal is indicative of ambient noise; determining a first ambient noise level based on the input signal; and outputting the first ambient noise level.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 27, 2023Publication date: August 1, 2024Applicant: GN Hearing 2 A/SInventor: Jonas Raun Hansen

Patent number: 11765521Abstract: An earpiece includes: a first end; a second end opposite from the first end; a first channel extending from a first location that is closer to the first end than to the second end, to a second location that is closer to the second end than to the first end; and a first diaphragm, wherein the first diaphragm has a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, the first surface of the diaphragm configured to be in fluid communication with a lumen in the first channel, wherein the first diaphragm extends in a direction that is parallel to, or that forms an acute angle with, a longitudinal axis of the first channel.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2021Date of Patent: September 19, 2023Assignee: GN HEARING A/SInventors: Jonas Raun Hansen, Jonathan Boley

Patent number: 11653137Abstract: A method performed by an electronic device, includes: enabling first communication to a pair of headphones having first and second acoustic output transducers; enabling second communication to a first hearing device that has a first gain stage; communicating a band-limited portion of a first audio test signal via a second gain stage and via the first acoustic output transducer to the first hearing device while the first hearing device is in a first ear canal of a first ear, and communicating a band-limited portion of a second audio test signal via the second acoustic output transducer to an eardrum of a second ear; and determining a first gain value based on a gain value of the first gain stage and/or a gain value of the second gain stage, the first gain value being associated with the user's perception of equal loudness at both the first and second ears.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2021Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Assignee: GN HEARING A/SInventors: Jesper Udesen, Jonas Raun Hansen

Patent number: 11245973Abstract: A hearing device has an ear plug for insertion into an ear canal of a user of the hearing device. The ear plug comprises a vent having a vent valve device configured to open or close the vent. The hearing device is configured to obtain a predetermined audio signal representing a sound emitted by the vent when the vent valve device is being manipulated. The signal processor is configured to output a phase-inverted version of the predetermined audio signal to the receiver substantially at the same time as the vent valve device is manipulated, thus cancelling out the sound of the vent. The predetermined audio signal may be obtained during manufacture of the hearing device or it may be picked up by an in-the-ear microphone. Accordingly, the unpleasant sound of a vent being opened or closed while the hearing device is worn by a user is reduced or eliminated.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2021Date of Patent: February 8, 2022Assignee: GN HEARING A/SInventor: Jonas Raun Hansen
