System and method for interactive mobile fitting of hearing aids

An interactive mobile fitting system comprising:

• a mobile device comprising:
• at least one processor configured to:
• interpolate a reduced size fitting data set into a continuous fitting curve, the reduced size fitting data set having a set of sampling points less than a number of data points in a complete fitting data set;
• present the continuous fitting curve with user interface objects at a display, each of the user interface objects corresponding with one or more sampling points of the set of sampling points;
• receive a user input manipulating at least one of the user interface objects, wherein the user input adjusts a value of the one or more sampling points corresponding to the at least one of the user interface objects to generate an updated reduced size fitting data set;
• a mobile device communication component configured to:
• wirelessly receive the reduced size fitting data set from a hearing aid communicatively coupled to the mobile device;
• and
• wirelessly communicate the updated reduced size fitting data set to the hearing aid;
• and
• the display configured to display the continuous fitting curve with user interface objects;
• and
• a hearing aid comprising:
• at least one hearing aid processor configured to:
• generate a substitute complete fitting data set based on the updated reduced size fitting data set;
• and
• apply the substitute complete fitting data set to input audio to generate modified audio;
• a hearing aid communication component configured to:
• wirelessly communicate the reduced size fitting data set to the mobile device;
• and
• wirelessly receive the updated reduced size fitting data set from the mobile device;
• and
• a receiver configured to output the modified audio from the hearing aid.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon, a computer program having at least one code section, the at least one code section being executable by a machine for causing a mobile device to perform steps comprising:

• receiving a reduced size fitting data set from a hearing aid communicatively coupled to the mobile device, the reduced size fitting data set having a set of sampling points less than a number of data points in a complete fitting data set stored at the hearing aid;
• interpolating the reduced size fitting data set into a continuous fitting curve;
• presenting the continuous fitting curve with user interface objects at a display of the mobile device, each of the user interface objects corresponding with one or more sampling points of the set of sampling points;
• receiving a user input manipulating at least one of the user interface objects, wherein the user input adjusts a value of the one or more sampling points corresponding to the at least one of the user interface objects to generate an updated reduced size fitting data set;
• and
• communicating the updated reduced size fitting data set to the hearing aid used to create a substitute complete fitting data set applied to input audio to generate modified audio output from the hearing aid.
