Abstract: A speaker of a hearing instrument generates a sound that includes a range of frequencies. Furthermore, a microphone of the hearing instrument measures an acoustic response to the sound. A processing system classifies, based on the acoustic response to the sound, a depth of insertion of an in-ear assembly of the hearing instrument into an ear canal of a user. Additionally, the processing system generates an indication based on the depth of insertion of the in-ear assembly of the hearing instrument into the ear canal of the user.

Abstract: In an audio signal, one or more processing circuits recognize spoken content in a user's own speech signal using speech recognition and natural language understanding. The spoken content describes a listening difficulty of the user. The one or more processing circuits generate, based on the spoken content, one or more actions for hearing devices and feedback for the user. The one or more actions attempt to resolve the listening difficulty. Additionally, the one or more processing circuits convert the user feedback to verbal feedback using speech synthesis and transmit the one or more actions and the verbal feedback to the hearing devices via a body-worn device. The hearing devices are configured to perform the one or more actions and play back the verbal feedback to the user.

Abstract: A processing system is configured to obtain data indicating answers of a user of one or more hearing instruments to a questionnaire. Additionally, the processing system is configured to determine an initial audiogram based on the answers. Furthermore, the processing system is configured to perform an initial fitting of the one or more hearing instruments based on the initial audiogram.

Abstract: A computing system may store user profile information of a user of an ear-wearable device, where the user profile information includes parameters that control operation of the ear-wearable device. The computing system may also obtain audio data from one or more sensors that are included in the ear-wearable device and determine whether to generate speech assessment data based on the user profile information of the user and audio data. In some examples, the computing system may compare one or more acoustic parameters determined based on the audio data with an acoustic criterion determined based on the user profile information of the user. If one or more acoustic parameters satisfy the acoustic criterion, the computing system may generate speech assessment data based on the determination.
