A hearing aid fitting management system comprises a fitting device, a server, and a client device that are connectable to each other in a network. The server stores hearing ability data received from the client device as a hearing ability certificate, produces a prescription number corresponding to the hearing ability certificate, and sends the prescription number to the client device. The fitting device sends the server the prescription number that has been inputted. The server sends the fitting device the hearing ability certificate corresponding to the prescription number received from the fitting device. The fitting device sends the hearing ability certificate to a hearing aid, and limits the settings in the fitting of the hearing aid to within the range of the hearing ability data.

Hearing aid, hearing aid fitting management system, server device, and computer device

A hearing assistance suitability determining device () according to the present invention is a hearing assistance suitability determining device () which determines a suitability () of a subject for dichotic hearing assistance, and includes: a hearing ability information obtaining unit () which obtains left-ear hearing ability information () and right-ear hearing ability information () each of which indicates a hearing ability for frequencies; a hearing ability type determining unit () which determines, among hearing ability types each of which is defined by a tendency in a change of the hearing ability with respect to the frequencies, a hearing ability type () of the hearing ability indicated by the left-ear hearing ability information () and the right-ear hearing ability information (); and a suitability deciding unit () which determines, with reference to a suitability database (), the suitability () of the subject for the dichotic hearing assistance based on a suitability corresponding, in the suitability database (), to the hearing ability type () determined by the hearing ability type determining unit (), the suitability database () showing a correspondence relationship between each of the hearing ability types and one of suitabilities of the subject for dichotic hearing assistance.

Hearing assistance suitability determining device, hearing assistance adjustment system, and hearing assistance suitability determining method

To provide a hearing aid system () performing dichotic-listening binaural hearing aid processing which improves the clarity of speech and maintains the spatial perception ability. Each of first and second hearing aid devices () includes a sound pickup unit () and an output unit () outputting a sound indicated by a suppressed acoustic signal. The hearing aid system () includes: a first band suppression unit () generating the suppressed acoustic signal indicating the sound outputted from the output unit (), by suppressing a signal in a first suppression-target band out of the acoustic signal outputted from the sound pickup unit (); and a second band suppression unit () generating the suppressed acoustic signal indicating the sound outputted from the output unit (), by suppressing a signal in a second suppression-target band out of the acoustic signal outputted from the sound pickup unit (). The suppressed acoustic signals indicating the sounds outputted respectively from the output units () include, in common, a signal in a non-voice band included in the acoustic signal.

System, method, program, and integrated circuit for hearing aid

A measurement cellincludes: an opening partfor supplying a sample into a sample holding partfor holding a sample; an optical window portion for allowing light to enter the sample holding partand allowing light to exit the sample holding part; a protection coverfor protecting the optical window portion, provided along the circumference of the sample holding part; and a first protection-cover-holding partfor holding the protection coverat the position where the optical window portion is covered.

Measurement cell

In the case where a user changes a set state of apparatuses, an apparatus operation control portion repressively controls the apparatuses, in spite of an instruction of a control signal according to that change, so that an increasing amount of power consumption of the apparatuses obtained from an apparatus power consumption measuring portion will not exceed an increasing amount of the generating capacity of a generator obtained from a generating capacity measuring portion so as to gradually bring it closer to a target set state set up by the user.
