Abstract: Systems, devices and methods are provided to switch between transmit and receive modes in wireless hearing aids. One aspect relates to an apparatus for use within a communication system that has an inductive coil connected to a tuning capacitor at a node. An amplifier is connected to the node through a DC blocking capacitor to receive an induced signal in the inductive coil in a receive mode. A driver energizes the inductive coil with a driven signal in a transmit mode. According to various embodiments, the apparatus transforms the inductive coil, the tuning capacitor and the DC blocking capacitor into an equivalent series resonant circuit to reduce an inductive load in the transmit mode, and transforms the inductive coil, the tuning capacitor and the DC blocking capacitor into an equivalent parallel resonant circuit to increase an inductive load in the receive mode.

Abstract: An automatic gain control (110, 245) provides for enhanced acquisition and tracking of wireless signals. The wireless signals may include signals using electrostatic fields, magnetic fields, or electromagnetic fields. In an embodiment, wireless signals are provided as radio frequency signals. The automatic gain control design is intended to quickly acquire new incoming information in a wireless signal. A control unit (130, 220) regulates the automatic gain control to manage the acquisition and gain of the wireless signal based on a transmission protocol. The automatic gain control adjusts the gain for the wireless signal to a minimal level required for detection for a preprogrammed amount of time, at the same time minimizing unwanted background noise from interfering with the wireless signal. When the communication session is concluded, the automatic gain control can be released allowing increased sensitivity in preparation of the next transmission.

Abstract: An ear-wearable electronic hearing device comprises a housing configured to be worn on, in or about an ear of a wearer, a power source disposed in the housing, and audio processing circuity disposed in the housing and operably coupled to an acoustic transducer. A microphone array comprises a plurality of microphones disposed in or on the housing and operatively coupled to the audio processing circuitry. The microphone array comprises a particular microphone comprising a mechanical feature that causes the particular microphone to exhibit an acoustic-to-mechanical characteristic that differs from that of other microphones of the microphone array, wherein the different acoustic-to-mechanical characteristic provides for increased wind noise suppression by the particular microphone relative to that achievable by the other microphones.

Abstract: Secondary path measurements and associated acoustic transducer-to-eardrum responses are obtained from test subjects. Both a least squares estimate and a reduced dimensionality estimate are determined that both estimate a relative transfer function between the secondary path measurements and the associated acoustic transducer-to-eardrum responses. An individual secondary path measurement for a user is performed based on a test signal transmitted via a hearing device into an ear canal of the user. An individual cutoff frequency for the individual secondary path measurement is determined. First and second acoustic transducer-to-eardrum responses below and above the cutoff frequency are determined using the individual secondary path measurement and the least squares estimate. A sound pressure level at an eardrum of the user can be predicted using the first and second receiver-to-eardrum responses.

Abstract: A processing system obtains a deformation signal generated by a deformation sensor. The deformation signal is indicative of a deformation of an outer ear of a user of a hearing instrument. Additionally, the processing system obtains an EMG signal generated by an electrode in a concha of the user, wherein the electrode is configured to detect activity of an intrinsic auricular muscle of the user. Furthermore, the processing system generates information regarding an auditory attention state of the user based on the deformation signal and the EMG signal. The processing system controls, based on the information regarding the auditory attention state of the user, the parameter of the audio system.
