Calibrated Hearing Aid Tuning Appliance
view source
US Patent:

8437486, May 7, 2013
Filed:

Apr 14, 2010
Appl. No.:

12/760435
Inventors:

Dan Wiggins - Edmonds WA, US
Donald L Bowie - Burien WA, US
International Classification:

H04R 25/02
H04R 25/04
H04R 25/00
US Classification:

381314, 381316, 381320, 381 60
Abstract:

An calibrated hearing-aid tuning appliance includes a hearing-aid interface for programming settings of a hearing aid worn by a user. The appliance also includes a calibrated audio output subsystem including an audio interface, an audio amplifier, and a calibrated speaker. The audio output subsystem can consistently propagate sound waves having frequency response, sound pressure level, and distortion characteristics within predetermined tolerances. A memory stores pre-recorded sound files and programming instructions for heuristically tuning the hearing-aid. When the programming instructions are communicated to a CPU for execution via a CPU interface, the appliance automatically selects at least one of the pre-recorded sound files; automatically reproduces the selected sound files via the calibrated audio output subsystem; collects feedback from the user based on the sound files thereby reproduced; and automatically adjusts one or more of the settings based on the user's feedback.
