Patent

CA 2224199

A hearing aid device such as a cochlear implant comprising a microphone (116) for receiving ambient sounds as well as spoken or voice commands and for converting said sound into corresponding electrical signals. A processor (142) separates the signal into command signals and voice signals. The voice signals are transmitted to the patient in the usual manner, while the command signals are used to control certain functions of the processor, such as volume control processing criteria selection, or the provision of information such as battery status, the time, the user's body temperature and reminders or notes made by the user. Alarm messages are automatically transmitted to the user when appropriate whereas others are available at a user set time or on demand. The system is customisable allowing for the user to record his/her own messages and to enter commands either by means of a keypad or by speech recognition.

Dispositif de prothèse auditive telle qu'un implant cochléaire, qui comporte un microphone (116) destiné à recevoir les sons ambiants, ainsi que des commandes parlées ou vocales, et à convertir lesdits sons en signaux électriques correspondants. Un processeur (142) sépare le signal en signaux de commande et en signaux vocaux. Les signaux vocaux sont transmis au patient de la manière habituelle, tandis que les signaux de commande sont utilisés pour commander certaines fonctions du processeur, telles que la sélection de critères de traitement du contrôle du volume, ou la fourniture d'informations telles que l'état de la pile, l'heure, la température du corps de l'utilisateur et des mémentos ou des notes faits par l'utilisateur. Les messages d'alarme sont automatiquement transmis à l'utilisateur lorsque cela est approprié, tandis que d'autres sont à sa disposition au moment fixé par lui ou sur demande. Ledit système peut être adapté, ce qui permet à l'utilisateur d'enregistrer ses propres messages et d'entrer des commandes soit par un clavier, soit par reconnaissance vocale.
