Abstract[English]
A hearing aid focusing system (200) is provided to enables a user to hear an environmental sound. The focusing system adaptively adjusts a hearing aid (202) in response to visual information about a user environment from one or more image capture devices (204). The focusing system analyzes images captured of the environment to identify one or more sources of sound that warrants user attention. Once a sound source is pinpointed and determined to be significant for the user, microphones (208) of the hearing aid (202) are automatically adjusted as needed in vertical and/or horizontal directions toward the sound source.[French]
L'invention concerne un système de mise au point d'aide auditive (200) qui permet à un utilisateur d'entendre un son ambiant. Le système de mise au point règle de manière adaptative une prothèse auditive (202) en réponse à des informations visuelles relatives à un environnement de l'utilisateur en provenance d'un ou de plusieurs dispositifs de capture d'images (204). Le système de mise au point analyse les images capturées de l'environnement afin d'identifier une ou plusieurs sources de son qui garantit l'attention de l'utilisateur. Une fois qu'une source sonore a été identifiée et déterminée comme significative pour l'utilisateur, les microphones (208) de la prothèse auditive (202) sont automatiquement réglés selon les besoins dans les directions verticale et/ou horizontale vers la source de son.
