Abstract
Systems and methods for performing non-obtrusive, automatic adjustment of an auditory prosthesis are disclosed. A control expression can be detected during a conversation. Upon detection of the control expression, an audio setting adjustment can be selected and applied to the auditory prosthesis. Multiple adjustments can be made in response to identifying multiple control expressions during a conversation.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- detecting speech proximate a recipient of an auditory prosthesis;
- obtaining sensor data indicative of an environment of the recipient using a sensor associated with the recipient;
- determining an auditory prosthesis settings adjustment for the environment of the recipient based on the detecting and the sensor data;
- and
- applying the auditory prosthesis settings adjustment to the auditory prosthesis.
2 more elements
A system comprising:
- a microphone;
- a sensor, wherein the sensor is an accelerometer or a camera;
- at least one processor;
- and
- a computer-storage medium encoding computer executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
- obtain audio data from the microphone;
- detect, in the audio data, speech proximate a recipient of an auditory prosthesis;
- obtain sensor data indicative of an environment of the recipient from the sensor;
- determine an auditory prosthesis settings adjustment for the environment of the recipient based on the detected speech and the sensor data;
- and
- apply the auditory prosthesis settings adjustment to the auditory prosthesis.
8 more elements
A method comprising:
- identifying environmental information about an environment in which an auditory prosthesis of a recipient is operating;
- obtaining sensor data indicative of an environment of the recipient using a sensor associated with the recipient;
- determining an auditory prosthesis settings adjustment for the environment of the recipient based on the environmental information and the sensor data;
- and
- applying the auditory prosthesis settings adjustment to the auditory prosthesis.
