Abstract
A method for recognizing a beat for a hearing system includes converting an acoustic input signal into an electrical input signal in an input transducer. The electrical input signal is processed into an electrical output signal in a signal processing unit. The electrical output signal is converted into an output signal in an output transducer. A beat is recognized by analyzing the electrical input signal and the recognized beat is perceivably output to a hearing system user. A corresponding hearing system for recognizing a beat in the input signal and outputting the recognized beat in a perceivable manner is also provided.
Claims15
A method for recognizing a beat for a hearing system, the method comprising the following steps:
- converting an acoustic input signal into an electrical input signal in an input transducer;
- processing the electrical input signal into an electrical output signal in a signal processing unit;
- converting the electrical output signal into an output signal in an output transducer;
- recognizing a beat by analyzing the electrical input signal;
- and
- perceivably outputting the recognized beat to a hearing system user.
A hearing system, comprising:
- an input transducer for converting an acoustic input signal into an electrical input signal;
- a signal processing unit connected to said input transducer for processing the electrical input signal;
- an output transducer connected to said signal processing unit for converting the processed electrical output signal into an output signal;
- and
- a beat analysis unit configured and constructed to recognize a beat in the electrical input signal and to perceivably output the recognized beat to a hearing system user.
