Audio signal analyzing and synthesizing device for e.g. therapy of tinnitus disease, has synthesizing unit to generate combination signal based on analysis signal, and selection section to select combination signal as compensation signal

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The device has an analyzing and synthesizing unit (4) for generating a combination signal based on a selected signal, by combining base signals, using an evolutionary algorithm. The synthesizing unit transmits the combination signal for acoustic reproduction at an output section. A selection section (3) selects the combination signal as an analysis signal. The synthesizing unit generates another combination signal based on the analysis signal or a signal derived from the analysis signal. The selection section selects the latter combination signal as a compensation signal. #CMT# : #/CMT# An independent claim is also included for a method for analyzing and synthesizing audio signals. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Device for analyzing and synthesizing an audio signal and for use as a mobile device or a stationary laboratory system, for diagnosis and therapy of tinnitus disease (all claimed). #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The device compensates patient specific tinnitus noises and/or phantom noises in a simple, controlled and optimal manner. The device detects relevant phantom signals and/or compensation signals in a simple manner. The device reduces error-prone and complicated communication between an acoustician and a patient, thus preventing misinterpretation of phantom signals. The device improves quality of life of patients suffering from tinnitus disease in a cost-effective manner, while reducing non-productive time. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a schematic block diagram of a tinnitus therapy device for analyzing and synthesizing an audio signal. 2b : Headset 3 : Selection section 4 : Analyzing and synthesizing unit 5 : Database 8b : Hearing aid #CMT#INDUSTRIAL STANDARDS : #/CMT# The device has a wireless connection such as Bluetoothand worldwide interoperability for microwave accessconnections, provided between a control unit and a reproducing section.
