  • Coached fitting in the field
    Patent number: 11758341
    Abstract: A method for adjusting a hearing device comprises: generating an audio stream with a microphone of the hearing device; processing the audio stream with a sound processor of the hearing device thus providing a processed audio stream and outputting the processed audio stream to a user of the hearing device; detecting a hearing situation with a hearing situation detector, wherein the hearing situation is associated with a configurable sound processing parameter adjustable by the user of the hearing device; when the hearing situation is detected, providing a user interface to the user of the hearing device for adjusting the configurable sound processing parameter; and, when the user has adjusted the configurable sound processing parameter, applying the configurable sound processing parameter to the sound processor.

  • Method of performing real ear measurements by placing a probe element at an intended position from a tympanic membrane of an individual's ear canal and a measuring system configured to carry out such method
    Patent number: 10987031
    Abstract: A method of performing real ear measurements by a measuring system is described herein. The measuring system comprises a probe element adapted to be inserted in the ear canal of an individual; a loudspeaker configured to deliver a sample sound signal to the ear canal; at least one microphone configured to detect a response to the sample sound signal, wherein the probe element is in acoustic communication with the loudspeaker and cooperates with the at least one microphone; and a signal processing unit for performing an acoustic measurement of a response to the sample sound signal, based on an electrical input signal from the microphone.
