Abstract
A fitting system with intelligent visual tools may included calculating a response curve of a hearing assistance device, wherein the response curve indicating sound level pressure level compared to frequency. Additionally it may include, displaying, on a display device, the response curve and displaying concurrently with the response curve, a visual cue, wherein the visual cue represents data including at least one of: gain of the response curve, a comparison between a target response curve and the response curve, and a comparison between binaural response curve.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- calculating a response curve of a hearing assistance device, the response curve indicating sound level pressure level compared to frequency,
- displaying, on a display device, the response curve;
- and
- displaying concurrently with the response curve, a visual cue, wherein the visual cue includes an animation technique to dynamically illustrate changes in the response curve and to dynamically illustrate changes in a target curve when a fitting variable is changed during a fitting session of the hearing assistance device, and wherein the visual cue includes dynamic changes in color, shading and line thickness to assist a user in visualizing the response curve with respect to the target curve, and further displaying a grab handle for graphical adjustment, the grab handle including a fill color corresponding to a left or right hearing assistance device side with greater performance based on the change, the fill color automatically updated to indicate performance resulting from the change in the fitting variable.
A method comprising:
- calculating a response curve of a hearing assistance device, the response curve indicating sound level pressure level compared to frequency,
- displaying, on a display device, the response curve;
- receiving a selection of a pin, wherein the pin is configured to be placed and customized by a user and is associated with data included in a central list of pins that serves as a fitting session log, wherein customizing the pin includes adding animation to the pin;
- and
- displaying, concurrently with the response curve, the pin,
- wherein the pin includes an option for a user to upload an image of a graph including the pin, and wherein location of the pin is used to derive pin type and functions available for the pin, including an order of operations for left and right hearing assistance devices available for the pin.
A fitting system comprising:
- a processor;
- a display;
- fitting software, which when executed on the processor, cause a response curve of a hearing assistance device and a visual cue to be displayed on the display, wherein the response curve indicates sound level pressure level compared to frequency, and wherein the visual cue includes an animation technique to dynamically illustrate changes in the response curve and to dynamically illustrate changes in a target curve when a fitting variable is changed during a fitting session of the hearing assistance device, and wherein the visual cue includes dynamic changes in color, shading and line thickness to assist a user in visualizing the response curve with respect to the target curve, and further displaying a grab handle for graphical adjustment, the grab handle including a fill color corresponding to a left or right hearing assistance device side with greater performance based on the change, the fill color automatically updated to indicate performance resulting from the change in the fitting variable.
