Audio processing using ear-wearable device and wearable vision device

A method comprising:

• receiving a first audio signal at a first microphone of an ear-wearable device of a hearing assisting system;
• receiving a second audio signal at a second microphone of the hearing assisting system, wherein the first audio signal and second audio signal comprise first audio information from a first time period;
• processing, by a processing system that includes one or more processors, the first input audio signal and the second input audio signal to identify first audio content information and first audio direction information related to the first audio content information;
• and
• wirelessly transmitting, to a wearable vision device, first display information to cause the vision device to display a non-transcript content representation of the first audio content information and a direction representation of the first audio direction information using a display device of the vision device, wherein the vision device further comprises or defines a lens portion, wherein the vision device is configured to be worn by a user so that the user looks through the lens portion, wherein the display device is configured to display visual information to the user when the user is wearing the vision device;
• wherein the ear-wearable device comprises a first transducer configured to be positioned within an ear of a user and a hearing device housing, the hearing device housing comprising:
• a flexible mother circuit comprising and electrically connected to:
• a digital signal processor;
• an audio output device electrically connected to the digital signal processor,
• a plurality of user switches electrically connected to the digital signal processor, wherein the user switches control volume and on/off;
• an inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensor;
• and
• a first memory storage device configured to store data from the IMU sensor;
• wherein the first display information comprises at least one menu prompt to control the ear-wearable device, and
• wherein the hearing assisting system is configured to receive user input to execute the at least one menu prompt displayed, and wherein the at least one menu prompt is executed by the user tapping on the ear-wearable device.

A method comprising:

• obtaining, by a processing system that includes one or more processors implemented in circuitry, a signal from a telecoil of an ear-wearable device, wherein the ear-wearable device is configured to be worn by a user in contact with an ear of the user and direct sound from a first electroacoustic transducer toward the user's ear when the first ear-wearable device is worn by the user;
• determining, by the processing system, telecoil information related to a presence of an electromagnetic signal in an environment of the ear-wearable device, based at least in part on the signal from the telecoil;
• wirelessly transmitting, to a wearable vision device, first display information to cause the vision device to display a representation of the telecoil information using a display device of the vision device, wherein the vision device further comprises or defines a lens portion, wherein the vision device is configured to be worn by the user so that the user looks through the lens portion, wherein the display device is configured to display visual information to the user when the user is wearing the vision device;
• wirelessly receiving, by the telecoil, audio information from a magnetic field produced by a listening system;
• and
• generating sound, by the first electroacoustic transducer, containing the audio information from the magnetic field;
• wherein the ear-wearable device comprises the first electroacoustic transducer configured to be positioned within an ear of a user and a hearing device housing, the hearing device housing comprising:
• a flexible mother circuit comprising and electrically connected to:
• a digital signal processor;
• an audio output device electrically connected to the digital signal processor,
• a plurality of user switches electrically connected to the digital signal processor, wherein the user switches control volume and on/off;
• an inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensor;
• and
• a first memory storage device configured to store data from the IMU sensor;
• wherein the first display information comprises at least one menu prompt to control the ear-wearable device, and
• wherein the hearing assisting system is configured to receive user input to execute the at least one menu prompt displayed, and wherein the at least one menu prompt is executed by the user tapping on the ear-wearable device.
