Abstract
A system and method for improving hearing enhancement solutions across a wide range of hearing devices, particularly for a wide-range of disparate user-provided hearing devices, including a dock having a transmissions conversion module for translating/converting Bluetooth communications from a transmitter/transceiver coupled to a configuration system to a non-Bluetooth personal audio device (e.g., a hearing aid) enabling a user to program the personal audio device with a user-developed personal customized hearing aid profile.
Claims8
A standalone interface system for cooperative use with multiple different hearing devices, comprising a computing system and self-served audiologist application setting custom equalizer values for multiple bands in one or more environments, a dock having a conversion module receiving wireless Bluetooth configuration information from a transmitter and programming a particular personal audio device using a different non-Bluetooth communications protocol;
- and a stored program computing system having a processor executing stored program instructions obtained from a memory, execution of the stored program instructions sequence tones in each frequency of a set of frequencies and allow to optionally adjust the volume of each frequency until the sound is just perceptible by a user, then move to the next frequency of the set, and wherein once all the frequencies are adjusted on both ears, the standalone interface system records the settings on an enhancement device and that enhancement device becomes an enhanced hearing solution and used with a particular hearing aid.
