  • Patent number: 11012798
    Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to a self fitting hearing device and a method for self fitting the hearing device. Specifically, the disclosed technology relates to transmitting calibration signals from a wireless communication device to a hearing device so that the wireless communication device can provide signals or audio streams calibrated for a self-fitting for a hearing device. The wireless communication device can receive feedback from a hearing device that received a calibration signal and use this feedback to adjust signals it transmits to a hearing device for self fitting. More specifically, the hearing device receiving the calibration signal can determine whether the calibration actually received by the hearing device has criteria that meets a threshold for properly fitting the hearing device.

  • Patent number: 8611569
    Abstract: A hearing system that includes a user control and a signal processing unit controllable by adjustable parameters can be adjusted to preferences of a user. Such an adjustment can involve providing a first set of start-up parameter settings upon start-up of said signal processor unit, using parameter settings included in or derived from said first set of start-up parameter settings as default parameter settings for said signal processing unit, obtaining a set of parameter settings currently used in said signal processing unit upon operating said user control, deriving a second set of start-up parameter settings in dependence of said first set of start-up parameter settings and of said set of parameter settings obtained, and using said second set of start-up parameter settings as said first set of start-up parameter settings when providing said first set of start-up parameter settings upon a following start-up of said signal processor unit.

  • Publication number: 20100202637
    Abstract: A method for operating a hearing system (1) comprising a user control (52) and a signal processing unit (30) controllable by adjustable parameters is described. It comprises a) providing (100) a first set of start-up parameter settings upon start-up (100) of said signal processor unit (30); b) using parameter settings comprised in or derived from said first set of start-up parameter settings as default parameter settings for said signal processing unit; d) upon operating said user control (52): obtaining a set of parameter settings currently used in said signal processing unit (30); e) deriving (160) a second set of start-up parameter settings in dependence of said first set of start-up parameter settings and of said set of parameter settings obtained in step d); f) using said second set of start-up parameter settings as said first set of start-up parameter settings when carrying out step a) upon a following start-up (180) of said signal processor unit.
