Transmitting audio control data to a hearing aid

摘要

A computing device can detect an event associated with an alert sound, and responsive to detecting the event, identify the alert sound associated with the detected event. The alert sound includes one or more control tones that are configured to communicate occurrence of the event to a hearing aid device within audio range of the computing device. The computing device outputs the alert sound via a speaker of the computing device, such that a hearing aid device can detect the one or more control tones and, in response, the hearing aid device can generate and output an audible indication associated with the detected one or more control tones.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
detecting, by a computing device, an event associated with an alert sound; responsive to detecting the event and by the computing device, identifying an alert sound associated with the detected event, wherein the alert sound comprises one or more control tones configured to communicate occurrence of the event to a hearing aid device within audio range of the computing device; and outputting, by the computing device and to be played by a speaker operatively coupled to the computing device, the alert sound comprising the one or more control tones, wherein the alert sound includes encoded identification information that, when received by the hearing aid device, is compared to identification information configured in the hearing aid device to determine if the hearing aid device is a target of the alert sound.
