Abstract: A method for fitting a hearing instrument comprises generating training data based on post-fitting adjustments made to settings of a plurality of hearing instruments and based on profiles of users of the plurality of hearing instruments, wherein the post-fitting adjustments are made to the settings of the plurality of hearing instruments after initial uses of the plurality of hearing instruments. The method further comprises training a machine learning (ML) model based on the training data to generate initial fitting suggestions. The method also comprises, prior to an initial use of a current hearing instrument by a current user, generating an initial fitting suggestion for the hearing instrument of the current user by applying the ML model to input that includes a profile of the current user.

Abstract: A reverberation condition is detected affecting an electronic hearing device. The hearing device receives sound from a microphone and provides amplified sound to an in-ear receiver. The reverberation condition is predicted to impact clarity of the amplified sound. A sound processing capability is determined that will affect the reverberation. The sound processing capability is applied to the amplified sound and includes one or more of expansion, compression, and directionality processing. In response to detecting the reverberation condition, at least one of the following is performed: enabling the sound processing capability with a reverberation mitigation setting if the sound processing capability is currently disabled; or changing the sound processing capability to the reverberation mitigation setting from a default setting if the sound processing capability is currently enabled. The reverberation mitigation setting is removed when the reverberation condition is no longer detected.

Abstract: A method for fitting a hearing instrument comprises obtaining sensor data from a plurality of sensors belonging to a plurality of sensor types; applying a machine learned (ML) model to determine, based on the sensor data, an applicable fitting category of the hearing instrument from among a plurality of predefined fitting categories, wherein the plurality of predefined fitting categories includes a fitting category corresponding to a correct way of wearing the hearing instrument and a fitting category corresponding to an incorrect way of wearing the hearing instrument; and generating an indication based on the applicable fitting category of the hearing instrument.

Abstract: An ear-wearable electronic device comprises a housing configured to be worn in, at or about an ear of a wearer. A sound generator is disposed in the housing and configured to produce at least a tinnitus masking sound. A physiologic sensor arrangement is disposed in or supported by the housing and configured to measure one or both of a plurality of physiologic parameters and a plurality of physiologic conditions of the wearer. The physiologic sensor arrangement is configured to produce physiologic sensor signals in response to the measurements. A controller is operatively coupled to the sound generator and the physiologic sensor arrangement. The controller is configured to detect one or more of presence, absence, and severity of tinnitus of the wearer using the physiologic sensor signals.
