Title: Method for training speech recognition, and training device
Inventor: SERMAN MAJA
IPC: G09B19/00
Filed: 2010-10-21
Granted: 2014-05-22
Abstract: The aim of the invention is to improve speech recognition in wearers of hearing aids and other hearing devices. This is achieved in that a method is provided for training the speech recognition of a person wearing a hearing device. A first speech element is acoustically presented, and said element is identified by the person wearing the hearing device. Subsequently, the acoustic presentation of the presented speech element is automatically changed and the aforementioned steps are repeated (S1 to S4) with the changed presentation until a specified maximum number of repetitions is reached if the identification is incorrect. Otherwise, a second speech element is acoustically presented if the identification of the first speech element is correct or if the number of incorrect identifications of the first speech element is greater than the maximum number of repetitions. In this manner, each of a plurality of speech elements can be trained in multiple stages.
