Advanced Wireless Processing for Enhanced Binaural Hearing Slides

Pdf Summary

The presentation, "Advanced Wireless Processing for Enhanced Binaural Hearing," provides an overview of wireless technology in hearing aids. The e2e wireless system allows for wireless communication between two hearing instruments, creating a Personal Area Network (PAN) using Near Field Magnetic Induction (NFMI) transmission. This system has been shown to improve speech recognition and localization errors, as well as enhance speech understanding and the quality of sound. The presentation also introduces e2e wireless 3.0, which includes features such as the Virtual 8-microphone network, Narrow Directionality, Spatial SpeechFocus, and eWindscreen binaural. These features have been proven to provide better-than-normal hearing in challenging environments, improve speech intelligibility, and reduce wind noise. The presentation discusses the benefits and applications of these features, such as improved localization, ease of use, and binaural advantage for phone calls. Bluetooth technology is also discussed, including its use for wirelessly streaming audio from Bluetooth-enabled devices to the hearing aids. This allows users to enjoy movies, music, and phone calls directly through their hearing aids. The presentation also covers accessories such as TV transmitters, 3rd party Bluetooth, and remote microphones, which provide additional benefits and options for the user. Finally, the presentation introduces the concept of Spatial SpeechFocus, which allows the user to focus on speech coming from any direction, and the Binaural OneMic Directionality, which enhances the performance of single-microphone instruments. Overall, the presentation highlights the advancements in wireless technology for enhanced binaural hearing.
