Publication number: 20230262401Abstract: A hearing device adapted for use by a wearer comprises an audio streaming circuit configured to receive electromagnetic audio streaming via a first communication link. A configuration circuit is configured to receive configuration parameters via a second communication link different from the first communication link for configuring the hearing device to receive the electromagnetic audio streaming. Control circuitry of the hearing device configures the hearing device to enable reception of the electromagnetic audio streaming in accordance with the received configuration parameters.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 25, 2023Publication date: August 17, 2023Inventors: Jeffrey Paul Solum, Greg Haubrich, Stephen Paul Flood, Justin R. Burwinkel, Michael Karl Sacha, Yezihalem Mesfin, Fred Mustiere, Jumana Harianwala, Donald James Reynolds, Swapan Gandhi

Patent number: 11638104Abstract: An ear-worn electronic device comprises a plurality of EEG sensors configured to sense EEG signals from or proximate a wearer's ear. At least one processor is configured to detect, during a baseline period of no wearer movement, EEG signals from the EEG sensors, and detect, during each of a plurality of candidate control movements by the wearer, EEG signals from the EEG sensors. The at least one processor is also configured to compute, using the EEG signals, discriminability metrics for the candidate control movements and the baseline period, the discriminability metrics indicating how discriminable neural signals associated with the candidate control movements and the baseline period are from one another. The at least one processor is further configured to select a subset of the candidate control movements using the discriminability metrics, each of the selected control movements defining a neural command for controlling the ear-worn electronic device by the wearer.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2021Date of Patent: April 25, 2023Assignee: Starkey Laboratories, Inc.Inventors: Lauren Petley, Swapan Gandhi, Simon Carlile, Sahar Akram
