  • Calibration of a remote-control unit for use in acoustic remote control
    Patent number: 11962978
    Abstract: A remote-control unit (10) is adapted for sending a control signal with instructions as an acoustic signal for controlling a hearing assistive device (20). A calibration method comprises outputting tone frequencies applied by the control signal, receiving the output tone frequencies and compare tone frequency levels relatively to a reference, adjusting relative volumes of the tone frequencies applied by the control signal in dependence of the comparison, and storing the adjusted relative volumes of the tone frequencies for use when sending a control signal with instructions as acoustic signals.
    Type: Grant

  • Communication channel between a remote control and a hearing assistive device
    Patent number: 10812918
    Abstract: A remote-control unit (10) for controlling a hearing assistive device (20) by sending a control signal with instructions as an acoustic signal, has an input transducer (14), an output transducer (15), and a processor (11) adapted for setting the volume of the output from the output transducer (15). The processor (11) is adapted for activating the input transducer (14) for receiving environmental sound, analyzing the environmental sound, determining and setting the volume of the output from the output transducer (15) based on the environmental sound, and outputting the control signal at the set volume via the output transducer (15).
