Abstract
A method transmits an audio signal from a transmitter to a receiver and a hearing device, particularly a hearing aid, contains a communication facility which is provided and configured for transmitting and/or receiving an audio signal according to the method. A hearing device system has two hearing devices and is provided and configured to transmit audio signals between the two hearing devices by their communication facilities according to the method.
Claims14
A method for transmitting an audio signal from a transmitter to a receiver, which comprises the steps of:
- dividing an input signal corresponding to the audio signal into a number of frequency channels for a particular time window, at a transmitter end;
- allocating a current channel value to each frequency channel at the transmitter end;
- dividing current channel values into a first current data record and a second current data record, at the transmitter end;
- generating a first forecast for the first current data record by means of a channel value preceding in time at the transmitter end;
- determining a first deviation between the first forecast and the first current data record at the transmitter end;
- generating a second forecast for the second current data record by means of the first current data record, at the transmitter end;
- determining a second deviation between the second forecast and the second current data record at the transmitter end;
- transmitting a first transmission value corresponding to the first deviation from the transmitter to the receiver;
- transmitting a second transmission value corresponding to the second deviation from the transmitter to the receiver;
- generating a first reconstructed data record by means of a reconstructed output signal preceding in time and the first transmission value, at a receiver end;
- generating a second reconstructed data record by means of the first reconstructed data record and the second transmission value at the receiver end;
- and
- combining the first reconstructed data record and the second reconstructed data record to form a reconstructed output signal at the receiver end.
