Method of influencing physiological state of person includes preliminary diagnostics of person's physical state. Influence during specified time on their hearing apparatus in combination with constant control of physical state. First, individual programme of training is selected for person taking into account their physiological parameters, person is placed on exercise machine in specified position and during influence on hearing apparatus additional sound impact with application of bone conductivity loud speaker is performed. Impact on person's hearing apparatus is performed by means of either earphones or loud-speakers. Impact on person's hearing apparatus is performed in combination with either impact on vision organs or olfactory organs, or simultaneously on organs of vision and olfactory. Effect of partial weightlessness is created by application of immersion bath. Person is placed into isolated medium with application of pressure chamber, pressure inside pressure chamber is changed either by increasing or decreasing.

Method and system providing hearing aid

Method and system providing hearing aid

Application describes a method for providing a user with a hearing aid, tailored to individual needs of a user of a hearing aid when the individual data of hearing loss are measured. The steps are carried out when allowability of measured hearing loss is estimated, for which it is determined whether the said data of measuring of hearing loss are within a given allowable limit, in case of total or partial non-compliance, the procedure is stopped. In case of finding the measured data in the specified allowable limit, one standard profile is appropriate to the said data of measuring of hearing loss, according to a set of standard profiles, each of which corresponds to a certain type of hearing loss which is generally located in the said allowable limit, and is associated with a set of standard parameters of programming a hearing aid. The individual is provided with a hearing aid (104, 114), which is programmed according to a set of standard programming parameters associated with the said assigned standard profile.

Device for hearing protection

Device for hearing protection

Device for hearing protection has two closed headphones (2) located on each user's ear and tight to his head with the formation of closed space in each headphone (2) and around the user's ear. Inside the headphone a speaker (4) is located, containing sound-reproducing membrane (5), one side of which faces the user's ear, and the opposite side is turned to a closed space bounded by the membrane and the housing. To improve the frequency band pass in the main range while listening to music the interior of the housing by at least one hole or channel communicates with the environment outside the closed space of the headphone (2). In one preferred version of the invention the housing includes a capsule which is an integrated part of the speaker (4).

Devices and methods to improve frequency output of portable audio device

Devices and methods to improve frequency output of portable audio device

Passive acoustic structures are disclosed, as well as portable audio devices arranged as capable of being used with passive acoustic structures, and methods to improve frequency output of a portable device loudspeaker arranged as capable of being used with the disclosed passive acoustic structure. The disclosed portable audio device may include a hole closer to a device loudspeaker resonator, a curtain or a door, to open and close the hole so that the device interacts with a joint station of the passive acoustic structure, comprising a labyrinth or a system of a transmission line, which may increase a frequency range of the system. For an end-user to enjoy musical and multimedia features of a portable audio device and in particular a mobile communication device, the above passive acoustic structure may represent increased lower frequencies for a typically small loudspeaker of a portable audio device without an additional loudspeaker and accordingly additional circuits.

Electromagnetic ultrasonic transducer and array

Electromagnetic ultrasonic transducer and array

Here is disclosed an electromagnetic ultrasonic transducer and an array thereof. The electromagnetic ultrasonic transducer includes a support (8), an elastic board (6) lying on the support (8), a magnetiser (7) on the elastic board (6) and a magnetic field generator (1) for vibrating the magnetiser (7), wherein the magnetiser (7) is several microns thick. The thickness of the elastic board (6) is also of the order of microns.

Oscillator for flat loudspeaker, flat loudspeaker and transport vehicle equipped with such loudspeaker

Oscillator for flat loudspeaker, flat loudspeaker and transport vehicle equipped with such loudspeaker

Oscillator comprises a holder of an oscillating part, a connecting ring for connection of the oscillator with an acoustic converter of a loudspeaker, and at the same time the holder of the oscillating part and the connection ring are connected to each other with the help of a detachable quick-acting locking device, which comprises the first locking elements to get a reliable joint, providing for reliable retention during vibration, and the second locking elements separated from the first locking elements and designed to get a strong joint between the holder of the oscillating part and the connection ring. The invention also relates to a flat loudspeaker, comprising such an oscillator, and to a transport vehicle comprising the specified flat loudspeaker.

Audio transmitter

Audio transmitter

Audio transmitter (1) containing at least one acoustically neutral body (2) with which two acoustic transmission elements (9a, 9b) shaped approximately like stylised funnel forming earflap (10a, 10b) flaring from acoustically neutral body (2) and coupled with waveguide (19a, 19b) with which three-pole microphone head is linked (25a, 25b), where the head is placed so that its front end made capable to receive sound is the nearest to waveguide inlet. Two "cold poles" (29a, 29b) of microphone heads are mutually inverted so that "cold pole" of one of microphone heads and "hot pole" (28a, 28b) and "ground" (30a, 30b) of other microphone head are connected or made capable to be connected with the same coupler or contact socket (31a, 31b) which is connected with or made capable to be linked with suitable amplifying an/or recording and/or processing device.
