Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, most of the hearing aids on the market are foreign products. The middle and high-end hearing aids are digital hearing aids, and the price is several thousand to ten thousand yuan. It cannot improve the user's hearing condition, and may damage the residual hearing of the hearing loss person, further aggravating the degree of hearing loss
In addition, if users want to wear hearing aids, they need to go to a professional outpatient clinic to ask a hearing aid fitter to perform hearing tests, fittings, and follow-up visits, which is difficult for people in areas with underdeveloped medical and health conditions.
In addition, hearing aids are a kind of medical equipment. Wearing hearing aids will expose the user's physical defects. Most wearers do not want others to know that they are hearing disabled.

Embodiment 1

[0083] The present invention provides a method for assisting hearing based on mobile devices (such as mobile phones). At present, the number of mobile phone users in my country has reached 1 billion, and the price of mobile phones is still falling year by year. The price of mobile phones is much lower than hearing aids. The listening method can share hardware resources with mobile phones, saving the development cost of hardware resources. Therefore, designing a mobile device-based assistive hearing method based on mobile devices such as mobile phones has strong practicability.

[0084] The method for assisting hearing based on mobile devices of this embodiment includes steps S1 to S4, which are combined below Figure 1 to Figure 6 The method for assisting hearing based on a mobile device of this embodiment is described in detail.

[0085] Step S1: Output test tones of multiple frequencies to test the hearing threshold of the user at multiple frequencies, and generate an hearing cur...

Embodiment 2

[0141] Such as Figure 7 As shown, the present invention also provides another auxiliary hearing system based on mobile devices, including a listening module 1, a fitting module 2 and an auxiliary hearing module 3.

[0142] The audiometry module 1 outputs test tones of multiple frequencies to test the hearing threshold of the user at the multiple frequencies, and generates an audiometry graph according to the hearing threshold of the user at the multiple frequencies.

[0143] Optionally, the test tone output by the audiometry module 1 is one or more of pure tone, beep tone, or pulse tone.

[0144] In an embodiment of the present invention, the audiometry module 1 includes an output unit 11, a recording unit 12 and an audiogram unit 13.

[0145] The output unit 11 is used to sequentially output test tones of multiple frequencies, such as sequentially outputting test tones at 1000 Hz, 2000 Hz, 3000 Hz, 4000 Hz, 6000 Hz, 8000 Hz, 250 Hz, 500 Hz, and 1000 Hz. The output unit 11 outputs th...

Abstract

The invention provides a listening assisting method and system based on a mobile device. The listening assisting method includes the steps of outputting testing voices at a plurality of frequencies to test listening thresholds of users at the multiple frequencies, and generating listening curve graphs according to the listening thresholds of the users under the multiple frequencies; judging the listening loss types of the users according to the listening curve graphs, and selecting corresponding prescription selecting formulas according to the listening loss types; determining fitting parameters of the users according to the prescription selecting formulas and the listening curve graphs; collecting voice signals, and conducting sound recognition rate improving processing on the voice signals according to the fitting parameters of the users for playing. By means of the listening assisting method and system, the listening loss conditions of the users can be tested through the mobile device, the listening curve graphs of the users can be automatically recorded, automatic fitting can be carried out according to the different listening curve graphs of the users, listening compensation is carried out in a target mode, and the audiometry function of an audiometer, the fitting function of hearing-aid fitting software and the function of a hearing-aid are integrated.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method and system for assisting hearing based on mobile equipment. Background technique [0002] my country is the country with the largest number of hearing-impaired people in the world. There are currently about 60 million hearing-impaired people. Most patients need auxiliary hearing equipment for hearing compensation. With the intensification of an aging society, the number of hearing impaired people continues to increase, and the issue of hearing impaired arouses people's close attention. Hearing aid is a commonly used medical device to compensate for hearing loss. It amplifies the sound to maximize the use of the residual hearing of the hearing impaired, so that it can hear the original inaudible or inaudible sound, and improve the patient’s hearing level . [0003] At present, most of the hearing aids on the market are foreign products. The mid-to-high-end hearing aids are digital hearing aids with a price of tens of thousan...
