  • Publication number: 20160205482
    Abstract: A method for adjusting a hearing device to hearing preferences of a user. A frequency transposition device is configurable by at least two frequency modification parameters (CR, Fk, FHL, W). The method includes manually adjusting at least two control elements each associated with a different one of at least two auditory perceptive dimensions (H, D, V, A), and automatically setting the at least two frequency modification parameters (CR, Fk, FHL, W) based on the adjusting of said at least two control elements. An alternative method includes manually adjusting at least one control element associated with one of the at least two frequency modification parameters, and determining based on said adjusting a qualitative prediction value for each of at least two auditory perceptive dimensions. Moreover, corresponding apparatuses for adjusting a hearing device including a frequency transposition device are presented.

  • Patent number: 9319804
    Abstract: A method for operating a hearing device by applying a frequency transposition scheme to an input signal of the hearing device comprising an input transducer, a signal processing unit and an output transducer, the method comprising the steps of transforming the input signal from time domain into frequency domain by applying a transformation function in order to obtain an input spectrum having a frequency range comprising a source region (20) and a destination region (30), adaptively selecting signal components of the source region (20) taking into account momentary characteristics of the input signal, transposing the selected signal components to the destination region (30), and supplying the output spectrum or a transformation thereof to the output transducer, the output spectrum comprising signal components of the destination region (30).
