Abstract: A system comprises an ear-worn electronic device configured to be worn by a wearer. The ear-worn electronic device comprises a processor and memory coupled to the processor. The memory is configured to store an annoying sound dictionary representative of a plurality of annoying sounds pre-identified by the wearer. A microphone is coupled to the processor and configured to monitor an acoustic environment of the wearer. A speaker or a receiver is coupled to the processor. The processor is configured to identify different background noises present in the acoustic environment, determine which of the background noises correspond to one or more of the plurality of annoying sounds, and attenuate the one or more annoying sounds in an output signal provided to the speaker or receiver.

Abstract: In an audio signal, one or more processing circuits recognize spoken content in a user's own speech signal using speech recognition and natural language understanding. The spoken content describes a listening difficulty of the user. The one or more processing circuits generate, based on the spoken content, one or more actions for hearing devices and feedback for the user. The one or more actions attempt to resolve the listening difficulty. Additionally, the one or more processing circuits convert the user feedback to verbal feedback using speech synthesis and transmit the one or more actions and the verbal feedback to the hearing devices via a body-worn device. The hearing devices are configured to perform the one or more actions and play back the verbal feedback to the user.

Abstract: An Internet-connected system and method for adapting a hearing configuration in a smart environment includes a hearing system including a hearing device. The hearing system connects to the Internet and transmits or receives an identification parameter corresponding to the hearing system. The hearing system receives a hearing program parameter over the Internet for configuring the hearing device when the hearing system is within a smart environment defined by a smart space system. The hearing program parameter computed is based on an environmental parameter measured within the smart environment by a sensor system of the smart space system. The hearing program parameter is sent to the hearing system over the Internet in response to a discovery system of the smart space system detecting the presence of the hearing system in the smart environment in response to receiving the identification parameter. The hearing device is programmed based on the hearing program parameter.

Abstract: A method, comprising receiving at least one sound at an electronic device. The at least one sound is enhanced for the at least one user based on a compound metric. The compound metric is calculated using at least two sound metrics selected from an engineering metric, a perceptual metric, and a physiological metric. The engineering metric comprises a difference between an output signal and a desired signal. At least one of the perceptual metric and the physiological metric is based at least in part on input sensed from the at least one user in response to the received at least one sound.

Abstract: Various embodiments of a hearing device including an image sensor are disclosed. The hearing device can include a housing, a user sensory interface connected to the housing, an image sensor connected to the housing, and an acoustic sensor connected to the housing. The device can also include a processor that is adapted to process image data from the image sensor to identify an image object, process acoustic data from the acoustic sensor, and determine a spatial location of the image object based upon at least one of the processed image data and the processed acoustic data. The processor can also be adapted to provide the spatial location to the user sensory interface, which can provide a sensory stimulus to the user that is representative of the spatial location of the image object.

Abstract: A system and method of determining a filter to cancel feedback signals from input signals in a hearing assistance device includes determining feedback signals for a plurality of feedback paths associated with the device, and determining a model of the plurality of feedback paths, with the model having an invariant portion and a time varying portion. A probable structure of the invariant portion is determined to generate a structural constraint to constrain the plurality of feedback paths, and probability distributions to impose the structural constraint on the invariant portion are determined. During an iterative process, the invariant portion is iteratively determined using the determined probability distributions and the feedback path measurements. A measurement noise variance representative of model mismatch is updated, for each iteration, to reduce a probability of a non-desirable determination of an invariant filter, and the invariant filter is determined in response to a criterion for ending the iterative process being satisfied.

Abstract: A hearing assistance system including a hearing instrument designated as a master device and at least another hearing instrument designated as a slave device. The master device is communicatively coupled to the slave device via a wireless link. The master device has a master clock and generates master time stamps for specified events timed by the master clock. The master time stamps are sent to the slave device via the wireless link. The slave device has a slave clock and generates slave time stamps for specified events timed by the slave clock. The slave clock is adjusted for synchronization to the master clock using the master time stamps and the slave time stamps.
