  • ADAPTATION OF HEARING DEVICE PARAMETERS USING ULTRASOUND SIGNAL TRANSMITTERS, HEARING DEVICE AND SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20190373380
    Abstract: A method adapts parameters in a hearing device. To implement the method, a sensor for receiving ultrasound signals and a signal processing device are used to process the ultrasound signals. As a result of processing the ultrasound signals, parameters are changed in order to adapt the hearing device. The source of the ultrasound signals is a signal transmitter that is devised to output sound signals of different frequencies. The signal transmitter is positioned independently of the hearing device and the user of the hearing device, and transmits the ultrasound signals independently of the user of the hearing device.
