實現在智慧型手機之遠端麥克風助聽系統及其運用方法 Remote microphone hearing aid system realized by smart phone and its application method

本發明係有關一種實現在智慧型手機之遠端麥克風助聽系統及其運用方法,尤指一種利用智慧型手機之麥克風並搭配至少一可在噪音環境下處理語音訊息的語音處理應用軟體(App)以作為該遠端麥克風助聽系統之麥克風兼發射器,再外接無線耳機作為語音接收器而構成之遠端麥克風助聽系統及其運用方法。 The present invention relates to a remote microphone hearing aid system implemented in a smart phone and a method for using the same, and more particularly to a voice processing application software (app) that utilizes a smart phone microphone and at least one voice message can be processed in a noisy environment (App) The remote microphone hearing aid system and the operation method thereof are configured as a microphone and a transmitter of the remote microphone hearing aid system, and then an external wireless earphone as a voice receiver.

聽力損失屬於常見的老人慢性病,Cruickshanks等人(1998),在1993-1995年間,針對年齡介於48至87歲的成年人進行年齡相關的聽損研究,發現有46%的成年人具有聽力損失的問題。而在Dalton與Cruickshanks在2003年的研究中,參與研究的成年人平均年齡為69歲,在所有參與研究者中,有超過一半的成年人有聽力損失(51%),其中有27.5%的成年人為輕度聽損,23.8%的成年人為中度至重度聽損。 Hearing loss is a common chronic disease in the elderly, Cruzickshanks et al. (1998). In 1993-1995, an age-related hearing loss study was conducted for adults between the ages of 48 and 87, and 46% of adults were found to have hearing loss. The problem. In the 2003 study by Dalton and Cruickshanks, the average age of adults participating in the study was 69 years. Among all participants, more than half of the adults had hearing loss (51%), of which 27.5% were adults. Artificially mild hearing loss, 23.8% of adults were moderate to severe hearing loss.

大部分的中、老成年人的聽損屬於輕度至中度聽損,Flexer(1999)界定聽力閾值介於26 dB HL至40 dB HL為輕度聽損,輕度聽損者在安靜環境中未配戴聽能輔具的狀況,聽力表現和聽力正常者無差異,但在吵雜環境中,聽力閾值為40 dB HL的聽損者可能會漏聽50%的語音訊息;而聽力閾值介於41 dB HL至55 dB HL為為輕中度聽損,輕中度聽損者在未 配戴聽能輔具且在安靜環境中,可在暸解與對話者談話的主題前提下,聽到大部分的語音訊息。聽力閾值為40 dB HL的聽損者為例,該聽損者無法聽到大約50%至75%的語音訊息。 The hearing loss of most middle-aged and old adults is mild to moderate hearing loss. Flexer (1999) defines a hearing threshold of 26 dB HL to 40 dB. HL is mild hearing loss, and mild hearing loss is in a quiet environment. The condition of hearing aids is not worn, and there is no difference between hearing performance and normal hearing. However, in a noisy environment, hearing loss of 40 dB HL may miss 50% of voice messages; and hearing threshold Between 41 dB HL and 55 dB HL is for light to moderate hearing loss, and mild to moderate hearing loss is not Wearing hearing aids and in a quiet environment, you can hear most of the voice messages while learning about the topic of conversation with the interlocutor. For example, a listener with a hearing threshold of 40 dB HL cannot hear about 50% to 75% of voice messages.

Mulrow等人在1990年發表研究指出,老年性聽損者配戴合適本身聽損程式時助聽器,能有效改善中老年人聽力損失問題與生活品質。但目前的研究結果發現,聽損個案使用助聽器的比率並不高;在Popelka,Cruickshanks及Wiley(1988)的研究中,有一半的研究有參與者有聽力損失的問題,但卻只有15.6%的人使用助聽器。若成年聽損個案的聽力問題設有獲得實質的改善,容易造成個案焦慮、溝通障礙,進而影響個案的生活品質。隨著人類平均壽命延長的影響,成人老年生活時間延長,聽損造成的障礙影響會隨之加劇,因此應積極地採取適當的聽能輔具,例如助聽器或人工電子耳等聽能輔具的介入,協助改善個案的聽力問題,提升個案的溝通能力與生活品質。 According to a study published by Mulrow et al. in 1990, hearing aids for elderly hearing-impaired people can improve the hearing loss and quality of life of middle-aged and elderly people. However, the current study found that the rate of hearing aids used in hearing loss cases is not high; in Popelka, Cruickshanks and Wiley (1988), half of the studies had participants with hearing loss, but only 15.6%. People use hearing aids. If the hearing problems of adult hearing loss cases are substantially improved, it is easy to cause case anxiety and communication problems, which in turn affects the quality of life of the cases. With the increase of the average life expectancy of human beings, the life time of adults in the elderly is prolonged, and the obstacles caused by hearing loss will be intensified. Therefore, appropriate hearing aids, such as hearing aids or artificial electronic ear, should be actively adopted. Intervene to help improve the hearing problems of the case and improve the communication skills and quality of life of the case.

Kochkin(2000)的研究中,受試者表示不願意時常配戴助聽器的原因包含:助聽器的語音辨識效果不佳、背景雜音過大、具有悶塞感、助聽器的價格過高、維修費用昂貴、助聽器的體積過大,及配戴者自尊心問題。雖然助聽器有助於提升聽損者的聽覺靈敏度,但是基於上述種種因素,在日常生活中聽損者真正配戴助聽器的比率並不高。在吵雜且具有迴音的環境下,助聽器雖能擴大聲音,但仍無法克服訊噪比及聲音迴響的問題。因此,若能提高聽覺輔具的訊噪比,將有助於改善聽損者的語音辨識能力,提高配戴率。 In Kochkin's (2000) study, subjects indicated that they were reluctant to wear hearing aids at times: the speech recognition of the hearing aid was not good, the background noise was too large, the suffocation was felt, the price of the hearing aid was too high, the maintenance cost was high, and the hearing aid was The size is too large, and the wearer's self-esteem. Although hearing aids help to improve the hearing sensitivity of hearing-impaired people, based on the above factors, the ratio of hearing aids actually wearing hearing aids in daily life is not high. In a noisy and echogenic environment, hearing aids can expand the sound, but still can not overcome the problem of signal-to-noise ratio and sound reverberation. Therefore, if the signal-to-noise ratio of the hearing aid can be improved, it will help to improve the speech recognition ability of the hearing loss and improve the wearing rate.

習知的調頻助聽系統(Frequency Modulation System),原理 類似廣播電台,以獨立麥克風在聲源處接收語音,透過發射器以無線電波方式將語音訊號傳送給配戴接收器的聽損者收聽。調頻助聽系統平均能將訊噪比提升約12至20 dB,降低背景雜音對語音訊號的影響。調頻助聽系統除了可搭配助聽器、人工電子耳運用外,對於輕、中度的聽損者來說,亦可以單純使用調頻助聽系統以改善聽力的問題。目前調頻助聽系統普遍被使用於教育的環境中,教師的聲音透過調頻助聽系統傳到聽損兒童所配戴的助聽器、人工電子耳中,聲音訊號不需經由空氣介質傳遞,因此不會造成廻嚮上問題,調頻助聽系統亦可以協助聽損兒童克服教室中與教師的空間距離所產生的音量變小的困難,並使學童可在吵雜環境中能聽到老師的教學內容,增進學習效率。 The conventional frequency modulation system (Frequency Modulation System), principle Similar to a broadcasting station, a voice is received by a separate microphone at a sound source, and a voice signal is transmitted by a transmitter to a listener wearing a receiver through a radio wave. The FM hearing aid system can increase the signal-to-noise ratio by about 12 to 20 dB on average, reducing the impact of background noise on the voice signal. In addition to the use of hearing aids and artificial electronic ear, the FM hearing aid system can also use the FM hearing aid system to improve hearing problems for light and moderate hearing loss. At present, the FM hearing aid system is generally used in the educational environment. The voice of the teacher is transmitted to the hearing aids and artificial electronic ear worn by the hearing-impaired children through the FM hearing aid system. The voice signal does not need to be transmitted through the air medium, so it will not The problem of squatting, the FM hearing aid system can also help the hearing loss children to overcome the difficulty of the volume of the distance between the classroom and the teacher, and enable the children to hear the teacher's teaching content in a noisy environment. Learning efficiency.

Hawkins等人在1984年曾發表助聽器與調頻助聽系統對於輕度至中重度兒童的語音辨識差異研究,研究結果顯示,調頻助聽系統能有效的提高訊噪比。雖然調頻助聽系統能夠改善助聽器的訊噪比以及聲音廻響的問題,但是因外觀明顯,因此未能普遍為聽損者所使用。此外,Hawkins等人的研究結果發現,放大助聽器的麥克風收音功能,會導致部分調頻助聽系統的增益能力降低。 In 1984, Hawkins et al. published a hearing aid and FM hearing aid system for the difference in speech recognition between mild to moderate-to-severe children. The results show that the FM hearing aid system can effectively improve the signal-to-noise ratio. Although the FM hearing aid system can improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the hearing aid and the sound squeaking problem, it is not widely used by the hearing loss because of its obvious appearance. In addition, the results of Hawkins et al. found that amplifying the microphone's radio function of the hearing aid would result in a lower gain capability for some FM hearing aid systems.

由上可知,習知的調頻助聽系統雖然具有能有效改善聽損者的聽力問題及有助於改善聽損者的語音辨識能力與生活品質的優點,但其在應用上因係以獨立麥克風在聲源處接收語音並透過發射器以無線電波方式將語音訊號傳送給配戴接收器的聽損者收聽,故所運用之相關設備皆須事先安排及設置,例如聲源處必須設有獨立麥克風及發射器供用以接收語音並對外傳送,而聽損者也須配戴相對應之接收器用以接收由該發射器 所傳送之語音訊號,因此相對造成使用者平時運用的限制及不便;尤其習知調頻助聽系統之相關設備的外觀明顯又特殊,也相對會降低聽損者使用之意願;基於上述原因,習知的調頻助聽系統才未能如目前手機之普遍化使用狀況一樣為聽損者所樂意隨身攜帶及使用,此乃習知調頻助聽系統在應用上美中不足之處。 It can be seen from the above that although the conventional FM hearing aid system has the advantages of effectively improving the hearing problem of the hearing loss person and helping to improve the speech recognition ability and quality of life of the hearing loss person, the application is based on the independent microphone. Receiving voice at the sound source and transmitting the voice signal to the listener wearing the receiver through the transmitter through radio waves, so the relevant equipment used must be arranged and set in advance, for example, the sound source must be independent. The microphone and transmitter are used to receive voice and transmit to the outside, and the listener must also wear a corresponding receiver for receiving by the transmitter. The transmitted voice signal is relatively limited and inconvenient for the user to use; in particular, the appearance of the related equipment of the FM hearing aid system is obviously and special, and the relative intention of the listener is relatively reduced; for the above reasons, The known FM hearing aid system has not been able to be carried and used by the hearing loss as the current general use of the mobile phone. This is a drawback of the conventional FM hearing aid system.

由於通訊科技的進步,目前的手機如智慧型手機不但功能多元,且相配合使用之耳機如藍牙耳機的技術亦臻成熟,因此手機之使用相當普及化,例如在任何場所常會看到每人幾乎都手持一手機及/或配戴耳機,此乃是相當普遍的景象。因此,本案發明人認為,若能將習知的調頻助聽系統實現在智慧型手機上,也就是將一調頻助聽系統轉移至智慧型手機並結合手機應用軟體(App),將智慧型手機作為調頻助聽系統之麥克風以接收語音訊號,並結合具降噪功能的應用軟體(App)來處理語音訊號並作為調頻助聽系統之發射器,再搭配無線耳機如藍牙耳機作為調頻助聽系統之語音接收器,如此一來,以智慧型手機作為聽能輔具,僅需要安裝語音處理應用軟體(App),不需額外添購麥克風、發射器及助聽器等設備,尤其無線耳機如藍牙耳機在價格方面遠較一般市售助聽器(數位型助聽器最低售價約為20,000元/支)平易近人。此外,在美觀方面的考量,藍牙耳機的款式為一般手機使用者常用的耳機類型,不會凸顯個人聽損的問題,應可提高輕中度聽損者配戴聽能輔具的意願,有效改善聽損者的生活品質。 Due to the advancement of communication technology, the current mobile phones, such as smart phones, are not only versatile, but also the technology of using headphones such as Bluetooth headsets is mature. Therefore, the use of mobile phones is quite popular. For example, in any place, it is often seen that almost everyone It is quite common to have a mobile phone and/or a headset. Therefore, the inventor of the present invention believes that if the conventional FM hearing aid system can be implemented on a smart phone, that is, an FM hearing aid system is transferred to a smart phone and combined with a mobile application software (App), the smart phone is As the microphone of the FM hearing aid system, it receives the voice signal, and combines the application software with noise reduction function to process the voice signal and acts as the transmitter of the FM hearing aid system, and then uses the wireless earphone such as the Bluetooth earphone as the FM hearing aid system. The voice receiver, in this way, the smart phone as a hearing aid, only need to install the voice processing application (App), no need to add additional microphones, transmitters and hearing aids, especially wireless headsets such as Bluetooth headsets In terms of price, it is far more accessible than the general commercially available hearing aids (the lowest price of digital hearing aids is about 20,000 yuan / support). In addition, in terms of aesthetics, the Bluetooth headset is a type of earphone commonly used by mobile phone users. It does not highlight the problem of personal hearing loss. It should improve the willingness of light and moderate hearing loss to wear hearing aids. Improve the quality of life of the hearing loss.

此外,在手機(行動電話)及聽損或聽能輔具如助聽器之相關領域中,雖然已存有一些先前技術,如:TW 200534678、TW M245704、TW M265863、CN ZL01205764.9等,然而,該些先前技術大都只是針對手 機(行動電話)與聽能輔具之助聽器之間提供能相互結合使用之技術方案,並未針對如何改善聽損者的聽力、如何改善聽損者的語音辨識能力、如何提高聽損者配戴聽能輔具的意願及如何減少購買聽能輔具之設備成本等諸多問題,提出能同時或一次解決上述諸多問題的技術方案。 In addition, in the related fields of mobile phones (mobile phones) and hearing loss or hearing aids such as hearing aids, although there are some prior art, such as: TW 200534678, TW M245704, TW M265863, CN ZL01205764.9, etc., however, Most of these prior techniques are only for the hand The technical solution that can be used in combination with the hearing aid of the hearing aid can not improve the hearing of the hearing loss, how to improve the speech recognition ability of the hearing loss, and how to improve the hearing loss. There are many problems such as the willingness to listen to the aids and how to reduce the cost of equipment for the purchase of hearing aids, and propose a technical solution that can solve the above problems at the same time or once.

此外,目前一手機欲與一藍牙耳機配對使用時,操作者常須進行繁瑣的配對步驟才能完成連接,在此以目前已存在之配對步驟的習知技術為例說明:以藍牙耳機大廠jabra網站所公布的藍牙配對步驟(請參考http://www.jabra.com/support/bluetooth-pairing-guide),其所揭示之配對步驟包含:先在手機中,找到“設定”畫面;再於“設定”畫面中,確認藍牙已開啟;再點選“藍牙”進入藍牙設備清單;再開啟藍牙耳機,若藍牙耳機尚未配對過,則必須使藍牙耳機開啟“可被搜尋”模式;再於藍牙設備清單中,點選藍牙耳機名稱;再輸入共同金鑰;再點選“確認”按鍵;上述藍牙耳機大廠jabra的藍牙配對步驟,不僅需要使用者熟悉手機操作介面,所花的時間也有可能高達30秒,對於手機使用者尤其本案技術之使用者而言,不僅操作上繁瑣,使用者也必須花額外的精神,才能完成設備的配對,容易造成使用上之不便及困擾,尤其在使用中當使用者有需要在原手機使用功能與本案技術使用功能之間進行選擇及切換時,例如使用者要先接聽手機的緊急來電,之後又要馬上切換成本案「實現在智慧型手機之遠端麥克風助聽系統」之使用狀態,更是不方便。日本Sony公司也為了解決藍牙設備配對繁瑣的問題上,提出“One-touch(NFC)即時連線”功能(請參考http://www.sonymobile.com/tw/products/accessories/smart-bluetooth-handset-sbh52/#tabs,Sony智慧型藍牙耳機SBH52產品網站)。雖然使用該NFC即時連線功能是可以達到快速配對的需求,但該NFC即時連線功能仍存有兩項 缺點:其一,連線距離短,約10公分以下;其二,手機必須擁有NFC功能,但一般手機並不具備NFC功能,只有高階手機或新一代手機才具備NFC功能,導致該NFC即時連線功能在使用上相對受限。由上可知,以現有手機與藍牙耳機配對使用之習知技術而言,操作者須進行較繁瑣的配對步驟才能完成連接,相對會影響本發明之實現在智慧型手機之遠端麥克風助聽系統的方便性及使用效率,因此為有效提昇使用本發明技術方案之方便性,本發明在手機與無線耳機如藍牙耳機之配對步驟方面亦存有進一步改進的需要。 In addition, when a mobile phone is to be paired with a Bluetooth headset, the operator often has to perform a complicated pairing step to complete the connection. Here, the conventional technology of the existing pairing step is taken as an example: the Bluetooth headset manufacturer jabra The Bluetooth pairing procedure announced on the website (please refer to http://www.jabra.com/support/bluetooth-pairing-guide), which reveals the pairing steps: first find the “Settings” screen in the phone; In the “Settings” screen, confirm that Bluetooth is turned on; click “Bluetooth” to enter the Bluetooth device list; then turn on the Bluetooth headset. If the Bluetooth headset has not been paired, you must enable the Bluetooth headset to turn on “Searchable” mode; then Bluetooth In the equipment list, click the name of the Bluetooth headset; then enter the common key; then click the “confirm” button; the Bluetooth pairing step of the above-mentioned Bluetooth headset manufacturer jabra not only requires the user to be familiar with the operation interface of the mobile phone, but also the time spent. Up to 30 seconds, for mobile phone users, especially the users of the technology, not only is the operation cumbersome, but the user must also take extra spirit. It is easy to cause the inconvenience and trouble of using the device, especially when the user needs to select and switch between the function of the original mobile phone and the function of using the technology in the case, for example, the user should first answer the emergency of the mobile phone. It is even more inconvenient to call and then switch the use case of the remote microphone helper system of the smart phone. Sony Corporation of Japan also proposed the "One-touch (NFC) Instant Connection" function in order to solve the cumbersome problem of Bluetooth device pairing (please refer to http://www.sonymobile.com/tw/products/accessories/smart-bluetooth- Handset-sbh52/#tabs, Sony Smart Bluetooth Headset SBH52 product website). Although the NFC instant connection function can meet the requirements of fast pairing, there are still two NFC instant connection functions. Disadvantages: First, the connection distance is short, about 10 cm or less; second, the mobile phone must have NFC function, but the general mobile phone does not have the NFC function, only the high-end mobile phone or the new-generation mobile phone has the NFC function, resulting in the NFC instant connection. The line function is relatively limited in its use. It can be seen from the above that in the conventional technology of pairing existing mobile phones with Bluetooth headsets, the operator has to perform a relatively complicated pairing step to complete the connection, which may affect the implementation of the present invention in the remote microphone hearing aid system of the smart phone. The convenience and the efficiency of use, so in order to effectively improve the convenience of using the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention also has a need for further improvement in the pairing steps of the mobile phone and the wireless earphone such as the Bluetooth earphone.

由上可知,針對聽損者尤其輕、中度聽損者而言,習知的調頻助聽系統以及本領域之先前技術皆難以符合實際使用之需求,本發明即是針對此需求而提出有效的技術方案。 It can be seen from the above that for the hearing loss person, especially the light and moderate hearing loss, the conventional FM hearing aid system and the prior art in the field are difficult to meet the needs of actual use, and the present invention is effective for this demand. Technical solution.
