More Information
Summary:A method for detecting and quantifying a liquid and/or food intake of a user wearing a hearing device (12) which comprises at least one microphone (20). The method comprises: receiving an audio signal from the at least one microphone (20) and/or a sensor signal from at least one further sensor (50); collecting and analyzing the received audio signal and/or further sensor signals so as to detect each time the user drinks and/or eats something, wherein drinking is distinguished from eating, and so as to determine values indicative of how often this is detected and/or a respective amount of liquid and/or food ingested by the user; wherein the step of analyzing includes applying one or more machine learning algorithms in the hearing device (12) or in a hearing system (10), part of which the hearing device (12) is, or in a remote server or cloud connected to it. The method further comprises storing the determined values in the hearing system (10) and, based on the stored values, generating a predetermined type of output.
