Abstract

A hearing machine tuning device includes at least one processor, and the at least one processor acquires manual tuning information including information on manually tuned setting values of a hearing machine and information on manual tuning date and time, and supplies the hearing machine with automatic tuning information generated on the basis of the acquired manual tuning information and including automatic tuning setting values.

Claims (53)

1 . A hearing machine tuning device comprising:

at least one processor, wherein

the at least one processor

acquires manual tuning information including information on manually tuned setting values of a hearing machine and information on manual tuning date and time,

supplies the hearing machine with automatic tuning information generated based on the acquired manual tuning information and including automatic tuning setting values,

generates the automatic tuning information according to analysis data,

in a case in which the manual tuning date of the acquired manual tuning information is the same as the manual tuning date of the previously acquired manual tuning information, overwrites, without analyzing the manual tuning information, the manually tuned setting value newly acquired at the manual tuning time with the previous manually tuned setting value corresponding to a time zone including the manual tuning time of the newly acquired manually tuned setting value, and

in a case in which the manual tuning date of the acquired manual tuning information is not the same as the manual tuning date of the previously acquired manual tuning information, generates the analysis data by analyzing the manual tuning information.

2 . The hearing machine tuning device according to claim 1 , wherein the analysis data is data obtained by grouping setting values in which characteristics of the manually tuned setting values and time zones of the setting values are common in the acquired manual tuning information.

3 . The hearing machine tuning device according to claim 1 , wherein

the manual tuning information includes information on at least one of a manually tuned day of a week or a manually tuned national holiday, and

the analysis data includes information on at least one of a weekday or a holiday analyzed based on the manual tuning information.

4 . The hearing machine tuning device according to claim 1 , wherein the automatic tuning information includes information on time zones corresponding to the automatic tuning setting values.

5 . The hearing machine tuning device according to claim 1 , wherein, when a current time reaches a switching timing of the setting value, the at least one processor supplies the automatic tuning information to the hearing machine.

6 . The hearing machine tuning device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an operation inputter that acquires a setting value for manually tuning a setting value of the hearing machine, wherein

information on the setting value acquired through the operation inputter is supplied to the hearing machine.

7 . The hearing machine tuning device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a display;

a storage circuit; and

a communication circuit, wherein

the communication circuit receives sound information acquired by a sound input circuit of the hearing machine,

the storage circuit stores the manual tuning information including the received sound information, and

the display displays information representing content of the manual tuning information.

8 . The hearing machine tuning device according to claim 7 , wherein

the communication circuit communicates with an information processing device, and

transmits the manual tuning information to the information processing device.

9 . A hearing machine comprising:

a sound output circuit that outputs sound; and

a hearing machine communication circuit that communicates with the hearing machine tuning device according to claim 1 , wherein

the sound output by the sound output circuit is tuned based on the setting value and the automatic tuning setting value.

10 . The hearing machine according to claim 9 , further comprising:

a clock, wherein

the sound output circuit outputs sound based on the automatic tuning information including the information on time zones corresponding to the automatic tuning setting values and date and time information acquired by the clock.

11 . An information processing device comprising:

a second communication circuit that communicates with the hearing machine tuning device according to claim 8 ;

a second display; and

at least one second control circuit, wherein

the second control circuit

receives the manual tuning information transmitted from the hearing machine tuning device via the second communication circuit, and

displays information representing content of the received manual tuning information on the second display.

12 . A hearing machine tuning method comprising:

acquiring, by at least one processor, manual tuning information including information on manually tuned setting values of a hearing machine and information on manual tuning date and time;

supplying, by the at least one processor, the hearing machine with automatic tuning information generated based on the acquired manual tuning information and including automatic tuning setting values;

generating, by the at least one processor, the automatic tuning information according to analysis data;

in a case in which the manual tuning date of the acquired manual tuning information is the same as the manual tuning date of the previously acquired manual tuning information, overwriting without analyzing the manual tuning information, by the at least one processor, the manually tuned setting value newly acquired at the manual tuning time with the previous manually tuned setting value corresponding to a time zone including the manual tuning time of the newly acquired manually tuned setting value; and

in a case in which the manual tuning date of the acquired manual tuning information is not the same as the manual tuning date of the previously acquired manual tuning information, generating, by the at least one processor, the analysis data by analyzing the manual tuning information.

13 . A non-transitory recording medium storing a program for causing a computer to perform:

acquiring manual tuning information including information on manually tuned setting values of a hearing machine and information on manual tuning date and time;

supplying the hearing machine with automatic tuning information generated based on the acquired manual tuning information and including automatic tuning setting values;

generating the automatic tuning information according to analysis data;

in a case in which the manual tuning date of the acquired manual tuning information is the same as the manual tuning date of the previously acquired manual tuning information, overwriting, without analyzing the manual tuning information, the manually tuned setting value newly acquired at the manual tuning time with the previous manually tuned setting value corresponding to a time zone including the manual tuning time of the newly acquired manually tuned setting value; and

in a case in which the manual tuning date of the acquired manual tuning information is not the same as the manual tuning date of the previously acquired manual tuning information, generating the analysis data by analyzing the manual tuning information.
