    The present invention relates to a hearing training unit for training the human hearing, in particular for improving the hearing results of the wearer of hearing systems and the acceptance of hearing systems.
    The prior art is characterized by several patents. Thus, DE 10 2007 012 024 A1 describes a hearing training device and an associated method for improving speech understanding in background noise with hearing systems. The hearing training device consists of a training hearing system with a floating ear piece. Furthermore, the training hearing system has a Knowles filter, ie a mechanical filter for smoothing the hearing aid angle. Furthermore, the hearing training device includes a CD player with a hearing training CD, this CD is not interchangeable for the user or exerciser. The procedure is divided into a training interval as regeneration training using the hearing training device with a gradual reinforcement and a gradual increase in the MPO values. A second training interval and an interval of the comparative hearing system adaptation with two technically different, but adapted to the customer hearing aids follows, where a hearing system is similar to the training hearing system and the second hearing system is constructed technically different.
    In DE 10 2007 063 136 A1 a further auditory training device for training the human hearing is described.
    An object of the present invention is now to provide an alternative mobile ear training unit for training the human hearing.
    This object is achieved by a hearing training unit according to claim 1. Accordingly, a hearing training unit for training the human hearing according to the invention comprises a mobile small computer having an interactive user interface for a mechanical, electro-mechanical, visual and / or acoustic input and output unit and on which at least one training and evaluation software is installed, and at least two speakers connected to the mobile minicomputer.
    Advantageous embodiments of the hearing training unit are listed in claims 2 to 4.
    The mobile ear training unit is characterized by an individual training process, such as playing, stopping, repeating or jumping to other lessons from. The loudspeakers are mounted internally or externally at a defined sounding angle so that directional listening can be practiced. When interacting with the device, data is recorded that gives an indication of the success of the call. During auditory training the success of the hearing is determined by continuous analysis and used to control the procedure. Logs can be visualized on the device at any time or after the end of the therapy and stored on external data carriers. Programs and materials are secured against unauthorized copying and deletion. The provision of the functionality of the device is limited to the duration of the training. An update function allows the reading of new program versions.
    In the development of the invention according to claim 2, the presentation of the training materials and hearing patterns can be triggered and performed by seeing and touching or by their combinations. This is e.g. Touching the keyboard, mouse, or touch-sensitive screen is not essential. By means of additional technique, e.g. an infrared transmitter, EOG sensor, eye tracker, can by viewing the screen e.g. individual sections of the training program are triggered. Furthermore, user input can be recorded and registered. According to claim 3, loudspeakers are provided on loudspeaker arms or on a separate holding device to the right and left of the small computer or on the screen of the small computer. First, this gives a defined distance between the speakers and the user. In addition, the direction of the sound wave exit from the loudspeakers can be adjusted in the direction of the user. The user can thus align his head in an optimal position to the speakers. For transport, the speaker arms are designed foldable and thus take up only a small space. In the development according to claim 4, the mobile small computer has a speech recognition software. This allows a linguistic interaction with the computer including an immediate evaluation of the linguistic articulation of the heard, which influences the training process.
    The use of the auditory training unit allows practicing the directional hearing. In doing so, the user may individually control the training, such as playing, pausing, repeating, skipping, or to other practice lessons, where the touch-sensitive screen represents control surfaces and control icons that can be used by the user. Logs about the training process can be visualized at any time and / or after the end of the training and transferred to external data media. By evaluating the results of the hearing, it is possible to control the course of the training and to influence the content of the training by caregivers. The user can verbally repeat the heard in the direction of the microphone, whereby the evaluation software draws in connection with a speech recognition software conclusions on the heard. An analysis of the speech signals allows the adaptation of the training to the hearing performance of the user and thus increases the efficiency of the training. An update function allows the reading of new training materials and hearing patterns or a control and analysis software. Also, application data can be read out and stored externally.
    An embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the drawings and will be described in more detail below. Show it:<Tb> FIG. 1 <SEP> the basic representation of the auditory training unit with the loudspeaker arrangement in the unfolded state and the user's head,<Tb> FIG. 2 <SEP> the schematic representation of the auditory training unit with the speaker unit in the folded state and<Tb> FIG. 3 <SEP> the outline of the possibility of scrolling training sessions vertically and horizontally on the user interface.
    The auditory training unit consists of a mobile small computer 1, which has an interactive user interface for a mechanical, electro-mechanical, visual and / or acoustic input and output unit. At least one training and evaluation software is available on the small computer. Furthermore, a device for processing analog and digital audio signals is connected. Under a mechanical input and output unit, here e.g. a keyboard or a touch-sensitive screen, under an electromechanical a microphone, under a visual a screen and under an acoustic a speaker 2 to understand. This input and output unit can be present individually or in combination on the small computer 1.
    The presentation of the training materials and sound patterns by the mobile small computer 1 can be triggered and performed on the user interface by seeing and touching or by their combinations. This is e.g. Touching the keyboard, mouse, or touch-sensitive screen is not essential. By means of additional technique, by gaze control e.g. individual sections of the training program are triggered. Furthermore, data from the interaction with the user 4 can be recorded.
    Right and left on the small computer 1 or on the screen of the small computer 1 speakers 2 are provided on speaker arms 3. However, it is also the attachment of the speaker 2 to a separate holding device conceivable. As a result, a defined distance L between the small computer 1 and user 4 and thus between speaker 2 and user 4 is given. The distance L corresponds e.g. the arm length of the respective user 4.
    The distance L between the speaker 2 and user 4 is advantageously between 50 cm and 80 cm. As a sound angle, an angle between 20 and 30 degrees is selected. In addition, the direction of the sound wave exit from the speakers 2 in the direction of user 4 or to its ears can be adjusted. Thus, the user 4 can adjust his head position to an optimal alignment with the speakers 2. By this arrangement, a direction-dependent, so directional listening can be practiced. For transport, the speaker arms 3 are designed collapsible and thus occupy only a small space. The so-called sound angle between speaker 2 and user 4 remains fixed after the optimal alignment of the head 4.
    The mobile small computer 1 advantageously has a speech recognition software. This allows a linguistic interaction with the computer including an immediate evaluation of the language articulation of the heard and allows the influence on the course of the training program.
    The interactive ear training of human hearing by means of the inventive hearing training unit uses the existing software on the small computer 1 with training modules, sound patterns and evaluation programs. The user 4 activates exercise lessons via the interactive user interface, preferably a touch-sensitive screen. Audio outputs on the speaker 2 and representations of training content on the screen guide the user 4 through the training program. By interacting with the user, statements about the perception of hearing are collected and, using the evaluation software, success values are determined which are used to control the training process. Thus, an adaptation and optimization of the efficiency of the training program, for example with regard to the cognitive performance of the user 4, can take place continuously.
    The user 4 can individually control the training, e.g. playing, pausing, repeating, skipping or to other practice lessons. For this purpose, control surfaces and control symbols that can be touched by the user 4 are advantageously displayed on the touch-sensitive screen.
    Advantageously, the user 4 verbal repeating heard in the direction of microphone and the evaluation software can draw conclusions in connection with a speech recognition software on the heard and make an analysis and adjustment of the training here.
    Protocols on the training process can be visualized at any time and / or after the end of training and data is transferred to external media. By evaluating the success of the hearing, it is possible to control the course of the training as well as to influence the content of the training by caregivers.
    With an update function training materials, sound patterns, control and analysis software can read in via a network and / or USB interface and / or read application data and stored externally.
