Abstract
A computing device includes: an input configured to be coupled to, or carried by, a user of a hearing device, the hearing device configured to receive sound from an environment defined by an acoustic scene; one or more memory units; and one or more processing units; wherein the one or more sensors are configured to measure a stress parameter related to stress of the user, the stress parameter being related to the acoustic scene; wherein the computing device is configured to obtain the measured stress parameter; and wherein the one or more processing units of the computing device comprise a program configured to determine an indication of stress of the user based on at least the stress parameter.
Claims35
A computing device comprising:
- one or more memory units;
- and
- one or more processing units;
- wherein the computing device is configured to communicate with a hearing device configured to receive sound from an environment, the hearing device comprising one or more sensors;
- wherein the one or more sensors are configured to measure a stress parameter related to stress of a user of the hearing device, the stress parameter being related to an acoustic scene;
- wherein the computing device is configured to obtain the measured stress parameter;
- wherein the one or more processing units of the computing device comprise a program configured to determine an indication of stress of the user based on at least the measured stress parameter;
- wherein the computing device is configured to cause a request to change a parameter of the hearing device to be provided to the user, wherein the request is based on the determined indication of stress of the user, and allows the user to have a freedom to decide whether to change the parameter of the hearing device, and wherein the computing device is configured to send the indication of stress of the user to the hearing device.
