HEARING AID, COMPUTING DEVICE, AND METHOD FOR SELECTING A HEARING AID PROFILE
First Claim
1. A hearing aid comprising:
- a microphone to convert sounds into electrical signals;
a transceiver configured to communicate with a computing device through a wireless communication channel;
a processor coupled to the microphone and the transceiver;
a memory accessible to the processor and configured to store a table including plurality of hearing aid profile identifiers (IDs), each of the plurality of hearing aid profile IDs corresponding to a respective one of a plurality of hearing aid profiles, the memory configured to store instructions that, when executed by the processor cause the processor to;
identify a hearing aid profile ID from the table based on a sound sample;
retrieve a hearing aid profile from the computing device using the hearing aid profile ID; and
apply the hearing aid profile to modulate an audio output signal.

Abstract
A hearing aid includes a microphone to convert sounds into electrical signals, a transceiver configured to communicate with a computing device through a wireless communication channel, and a processor coupled to the microphone and the transceiver. The hearing aid further includes a memory accessible to the processor and configured to store a table including plurality of hearing aid profile identifiers (IDs). Each of the plurality of hearing aid profile IDs corresponds to a respective one of a plurality of hearing aid profiles. The memory stores instructions that, when executed by the processor cause the processor to identify a hearing aid profile ID from the table based on a sound sample, retrieve a hearing aid profile from the computing device using the hearing aid profile ID, and apply the hearing aid profile to modulate an audio output signal.
