Abstract
A method for providing feedback of an own voice loudness of a user of a hearing device comprises: extracting an own voice signal of the user from an audio signal acquired with a microphone of the hearing device; determining a sound level of the own voice signal from the audio signal; determining an acoustic situation of the user; determining at least one of a minimal threshold and a maximal threshold for the sound level of the own voice signal from the acoustic situation of the user; and notifying the user, when the sound level is at least one of lower than the minimal threshold and higher than the maximal threshold.
Claims18
A method for providing notice to a user of a hearing device, the method comprising:
- extracting an own voice signal of the user from an audio signal acquired with a microphone of the hearing device;
- determining a sound level of the own voice signal;
- determining, based on an operating mode of the hearing device, an acoustic situation of the user;
- determining at least one of a minimum threshold and a maximum threshold for the sound level of the own voice signal from the acoustic situation of the user;
- notifying the user, when the sound level is at least one of lower than the minimum threshold and higher than the maximum threshold.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a computer program that, when executed, direct a processor to:
- extract an own voice signal of a user from an audio signal acquired with a microphone of a hearing device;
- determine a sound level of the own voice signal;
- determine, based on an operating mode of the hearing device, an acoustic situation of the user;
- determine at least one of a minimum threshold and a maximum threshold for the sound level of the own voice signal from the acoustic situation of the user;
- notify the user, when the sound level is at least one of lower than the minimum threshold and higher than the maximum threshold.
A hearing system comprising:
- a hearing device adapted to:
- extract an own voice signal of a user from an audio signal acquired with a microphone of the hearing device;
- determine a sound level of the own voice signal;
- determine, based on an operating mode of the hearing device, an acoustic situation of the user;
- determine at least one of a minimum threshold and a maximum threshold for the sound level of the own voice signal from the acoustic situation of the user;
- notify the user, when the sound level is at least one of lower than the minimum threshold and higher than the maximum threshold.
