HEARING AID AND METHOD OF PERFORMING BIT ERROR CONCEALMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240048919 titled 'HEARING AID AND METHOD OF PERFORMING BIT ERROR CONCEALMENT
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method used in hearing aids to receive and process wireless signals containing audio samples. The method involves the following steps:
- Receiving a wireless signal that includes a series of frames.
- The first frame contains encoded audio samples and information about the codec used.
- Performing an error check on the first frame to ensure its integrity.
- If the first frame fails the error check, performing a test to identify the cause of the error.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Hearing aids: The method described in the patent application can be used in hearing aids to improve the reception and processing of wireless audio signals, enhancing the overall performance of the device.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Error detection: The method includes an error check on the received frames, allowing for the identification of any errors or corruption in the audio data. This helps ensure the accuracy and quality of the audio signals processed by the hearing aid.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved audio quality: By performing error checks and tests, the method helps to identify and address any issues with the received audio samples. This leads to improved audio quality and clarity for the user of the hearing aid.
- Enhanced reliability: The error check and test performed by the method increase the reliability of the wireless signal reception and processing in hearing aids, reducing the chances of distorted or incomplete audio being delivered to the user.
Original Abstract Submitted
a method, at a hearing aid, including receiving a wireless signal including a succession of frames including a first frame including first encoded audio samples and determining a first codec, performing an error check based on the first frame, and in accordance with a determination that the first frame fails to pass the error check, performing a test.
