Automatic binaural shell modeling for hearing aids

A system for modeling binaural shells for hearing aids, comprising:

• a memory device for storing a program;
• a processor in communication with the memory device, the processor operative with the program to:
• load data associated with a first and a second ear shell;
• register the data associated with the first and the second ear shells;
• and
• process the first and the second ear shells, wherein the processing on the first ear shell is automatically performed on the second ear shell.

A computer program product comprising a computer useable medium having computer program logic recorded thereon for modeling binaural shells for hearing aids, the computer program logic comprising:

• program code for loading data associated with a first and a second ear shell;
• program code for registering the data associated with the first and the second ear shells;
• and
• program code for processing the first and the second ear shells, wherein the processing on the first ear shell is automatically performed on the second ear shell.

A system for modeling binaural shells for hearing aids, comprising:

• a means for loading data associated with a first and a second ear shell;
• a means for registering the data associated with the first and the second ear shells;
• and
• a means for processing the first and the second ear shells, wherein the processing on the first ear shell is automatically performed on the second ear shell.

A method for modeling binaural shells for hearing aids, comprising:

• loading data associated with a first and a second ear shell that has been obtained by scanning an impression of the first and the second ear shells;
• registering the data associated with the first and the second ear shells so that a relative position and orientation of the first shell with respect to the second shell can be determined;
• and
• modeling the first and the second ear shells, wherein the modeling on the first ear shell is automatically performed on the second ear shell by using data acquired in the registration.

A method for automatically modeling binaural shells for hearing aids, comprising:

• loading data associated with a first and a second ear shell;
• registering the first and the second ear shells;
• processing the first ear shell;
• storing data associated with the processing of the first ear shell;
• automatically processing the second ear shell so that the processing that occurred on the first ear shell is performed on the second ear shell;
• and
• storing data associated with the automated processing of the second ear shell.
