Feedback Scan For Hearing Aid

US Patent:
2013027, Oct 17, 2013
Filed:
Apr 11, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/444262
Inventors:
PAUL R. MAZANEC - Blaine MN, US
Assignee:
ENVOY MEDICAL CORPORATION - St. Paul MN
International Classification:
H04R 29/00
H04R 25/00
US Classification:
381 60
Abstract:
A hearing aid is disclosed, having the ability to generate its own open-loop feedback scan of amplitude (as gain or attenuation) and phase, as a function of frequency. The hearing aid has a sensor that receives ambient sound from near a patient, and a driver that stimulates the anatomy of the patient. The hearing aid has an operational mode in which the driver stimulates the anatomy of the patient in response to the sound received at the sensor. The hearing aid has a test mode in which a test frequency is stepped through a predetermined range of frequencies. At each test frequency, the driver is driven with a sinusoidal driver signal at the test frequency, the sensor detects a sinusoidal sensor signal at the test frequency, and a comparison of the sensor signal to the driver signal produces an amplitude (gain or attenuation) and a phase for the test frequency.

Transducer Impedance Measurement For Hearing Aid

US Patent:
2013027, Oct 17, 2013
Filed:
Apr 11, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/444368
Inventors:
PAUL R. MAZANEC - BLAINE MN, US
Assignee:
ENVOY MEDICAL CORPORATION - ST. PAUL MN
International Classification:
H04R 29/00
H04R 25/00
US Classification:
381 60
Abstract:
A hearing aid is disclosed, which, in a test mode, can determine the impedance of the transducer that stimulates the anatomy of the patient. Impedance may be determined by simultaneous determination of the current flowing through the transducer and the voltage across the transducer. In some cases, the output amplifier of the hearing aid includes two outputs, with one being a scaled and/or summed replica of the other. The amplifier is driven with a periodic signal with a particular frequency and a known peak voltage. The periodic signal may be sinusoidal. The primary output of the amplifier is electrically connected to the transducer, with a known voltage given by the peak input voltage and a known gain of the amplifier. The current from the secondary output of the amplifier is measured. In an example measurement scheme, the secondary output is sent through a rectifier and then through a low-pass filter.

Self-Regulating Transcutaneous Energy Transfer

US Patent:
2011004, Feb 24, 2011
Filed:
Aug 20, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/544367
Inventors:
Paul Richard Mazanec - Blaine MN, US
Assignee:
Envoy Medical Corporation - St. Paul MN
International Classification:
A61N 1/378
US Classification:
607 61
Abstract:
A rechargeable battery system and method are disclosed, in which an implantable medical device (IMD) regulates its transfer of energy from a separate charger unit. For recharging, a charger unit is brought into proximity to the implanted device. An oscillating current is generated in a primary coil, located in the charger. By inductive coupling through an oscillating magnetic field, an alternating current is generated in a secondary coil, which is implanted in or near the implanted device. The alternating current then passes through a half-wave or full-wave rectifier to form a one-sided current, then passes through a regulator to form an essentially direct current, which is in turn directed to the rechargeable battery in the implanted device. The secondary coil has a controllable damped resonant frequency, which can be dynamically tuned away from the driving frequency of the primary coil by a variable resistor and/or by varying a duty cycle of a rapidly switched electrical element. If a control loop in the implant senses that more power is being received at the second coil than is actually being used to recharge the battery, the control loop temporarily changes the variable resistance. When this happens, the resonant frequency of the secondary coil is detuned slightly away from the driving frequency, so that less of the incoming power is absorbed by the secondary coil. Alternatively, the secondary coil may be temporarily short-circuited. With less or no excess power entering the circuitry of the implant, the problem of overheating is mitigated.

Cochlear Implant System With Electrode Impedance Diagnostics

US Patent:
2022031, Oct 6, 2022
Filed:
Apr 5, 2021
Appl. No.:
17/222034
Inventors:
- White Bear Lake MN, US
Paul R. Mazanec - Ham Lake MN, US
International Classification:
A61N 1/36
A61N 1/05
A61N 1/372
Abstract:
Cochlear implant systems can comprise a cochlear implant system comprising a cochlear electrode, a stimulator in electrical communication with the cochlear electrode, a return electrode, and one or more controllers. The cochlear electrode can include a first contact electrode and the stimulator can include a first source element in electrical communication with the first contact electrode. The one or more controllers can be configured to cause the stimulator to emit a predetermined current from the first source element to the return electrode via a first current path and determine a first voltage at the first contact electrode and a second voltage at the return electrode. The one or more controllers can determine an impedance associated with the first current path and determine one or more stimulation parameters, such as a compliance voltage for sourcing a prescribed current, for the source element based on the determined impedance.
