Abstract
A smart hearing method in which an external processor is used in order to reduce the cost of a hearing aid, according to an embodiment of the present invention, comprises the steps of: determining an operation mode of a hearing aid; and when it is determined that the operation mode of the hearing aid corresponds to a test mode among a normal mode and the test mode, transmitting a received audio signal to a terminal other than the hearing aid.
Claims18
A smart hearing method which uses an external processor in order to reduce cost of a hearing aid comprising:
- determining an operation mode of a hearing aid;
- transmitting a received audio signal to a terminal other than the hearing aid when it is determined that the operation mode of the hearing aid is a test mode among a normal mode or a test mode;
- receiving information related to test result from the different terminal in response to processing the audio signal by the different terminal;
- and
- setting a control parameter for the hearing aid based on the information related to the test result.
A smart hearing method which uses external processor in order to reduce cost of a hearing aid comprising:
- processing an analog signal for audio heard from outside into a digital signal;
- adjusting each balance of the processed signal by using the control parameter when gain for specific frequency is relatively weak and when gain for specific frequency is relatively strong;
- and
- converting the digital signal for the adjusted signal to analog signal and transmitting the analog signal to a user.
A smart hearing device which uses an external processor in order to reduce cost of a hearing aid comprising:
- a determining unit for determining an operation mode of a hearing aid;
- a transmitting unit for transmitting a received audio signal to a terminal other than the hearing aid when it is determined that the operation mode of the hearing aid is a test mode among a normal mode or the test mode;
- a receiving unit for receiving information related to test result from the different terminal in response to processing the audio signal by the different terminal;
- and
- a setting unit for setting a control parameter for the hearing aid based on the information related to the test result.
