Cellphone managed hearing eyeglasses
First Claim
1. A cellphone managed hearing eyeglasses, for correcting the hearing loss of people, containing electronic components embedded on eyeglasses frame temples and the cellphone, comprising:
- 1.1. microphones, codecs, microcontrollers, digital signal processors, speakers, buzzers, means for generating complex tones, and tone bands, RF and inductive transceivers, gyroscopes, tap, capacitive and touch sensors, memories, and1.2 software programs embedded both on the cellphone and the eyeglasses comprising,1.2.1 a software program for managing the measurement of the hearing profile of the hearing impaired person, by himself, using complex tones and tone bands, and1.2.2 software programs for noise cancellation comprising,1.2.1.1 a program for cancelling sounds arriving from outside a given direction wherein said direction may be changed by the eyeglasses wearing person in real time, and1.2.3. software programs for improving intelligibility of words heard and wherein1.2.3.1 sound frequencies hitherto badly heard, are selectively amplified, and12.3.2 noise between words, syllables and phonemes are subtracted from the following speech components.

Abstract
The invention describes a Hearing Aid device composed of a cellphone and eyeglasses where some of the programs are carried out by components embedded onto the temples of eyeglasses and some programs by components which are inherently part of cellphones. The combined device improves the intelligibility of voice messages arriving both through the cellphone speaker, the connected earphones and directly through the free air. The user can call diverse programs suitable for different situations, by using inertial sensors embedded either in the eyeglasses or are inherently part of the cellphone.
