Sound Classification in Hearing Aids Inspired by Auditory Scene Analysis
A sound classification system for the automatic recognition of the acoustic environment in a hearing aid is discussed. The system distinguishes the four sound classes “clean speech,” “speech in noise,” “noise,” and “music.” A number of features that are inspired by auditory scene analysis are extracted from the sound signal. These features describe amplitude modulations, spectral profile, harmo...
متن کاملExpectations of older adults regarding the use of hearing aids.
A 48-item questionnaire was administered to 100 older adults to determine their expectations regarding hearing aid use. The sample consisted of volunteers from a variety of senior citizen organizations and ranged in age from 55 to 92 years. Only individuals who reported no prior hearing aid usage were included in the sample. Expectations for the following factors were considered: cosmetics, aco...
متن کاملacoustic feedback suppression in binaural hearing aids
background and aim : the hearing loss and acoustic feedback signal in the binaural hearing aids may annoy users, make speech reorganization difficult, and affect the sound quality. this paper presents a new method for acoustic feedback suppression in binaural hearing aids, based on the combination of binaural information and blind source separation. this method can enhance sound from the specif...
متن کاملPreconceptions and expectations of older adults about getting hearing aids
AIM The objectives of this study were to describe preconceptions and expectations of older adults about getting hearing aids and to explore the influence of hearing loss (HL), hearing aid experience, gender, age, and marital status on these preconceptions and expectations. METHODS A total of 174 participants aged above 65 years were randomly selected from a waiting list for hearing aid fittin...
متن کاملSound Classification in Hearing Instruments
A variety of algorithms intended for the new generation of hearing aids is presented in this thesis. The main contribution of this work is the hidden Markov model (HMM) approach to classifying listening environments. This method is efficient and robust and well suited for hearing aid applications. This thesis shows that several advanced classification methods can be implemented in digital heari...
