Abstract[English]
A hearing aid includes a microphone, and a processing unit. The microphone is configured to receive sound incident on the hearing aid and deliver a corresponding microphone output to the processing unit. The processing unit is configured to process the microphone output to determine whether the incident sound comprises potentially harmful sound, and to generate a processor output including a processed version of the microphone output. A method of protecting a hearing aid wearer from sudden loud sounds uses a microphone in the hearing aid to receive incident sound and deliver a corresponding microphone output to a processing unit in the hearing aid. The processing unit processes the microphone output to generate a first processor output, determined by whether the incident sound includes potentially harmful impulsive sound, and a second processor output including a processed version of the microphone output.[French]
Une prothèse auditive comprend un microphone et une unité de traitement. Le microphone est conçu pour recevoir un son incident sur la prothèse auditive et délivrer une sortie de microphone correspondante à l'unité de traitement. L'unité de traitement est conçue pour traiter la sortie de microphone afin de déterminer si le son incident comprend un son potentiellement nocif, et pour générer une sortie de processeur comprenant une version traitée de la sortie de microphone. Un procédé de protection d'un porteur de prothèse auditive à partir de sons forts soudains utilise un microphone dans la prothèse auditive pour recevoir un son incident et délivrer une sortie de microphone correspondante à une unité de traitement dans la prothèse auditive. L'unité de traitement traite la sortie de microphone pour générer une première sortie de processeur, déterminée par le fait que le son incident comprend ou non un son impulsif potentiellement nocif, et une deuxième sortie de processeur comprenant une version traitée de la sortie de microphone.
