A System for Control of Hearing Instrument Selection and Adjustment based on Evaluation of Correct Transmission of Speech Elements and Features

چکیده
Modern digital hearing aids provide unprecedented means of compensating for hearing impairments. However, this comes at the price of adjusting complex processing parameters. To achieve an individual optimum, all processing parameters have to be carefully preand re-adjusted. The required time and effort can often not be made available. To provide an independent means of optimizing speech intelligibility, we developed a dedicated solution using mostly off-the-shelf hardware and a dedicated software. With this, a pc-literate hearing impaired person can independently check his aided speech reception. The result can be a valid basis for improvement of the hearing instrument parameter adjustment.

Abstract Recent developments in robotics automation have motivated researchers to improve the efficiency of interactive systems by making a natural man-machine interaction. Since speech is the most popular method of communication, recognizing human emotions from speech signal becomes a challenging research topic known as Speech Emotion Recognition (SER). In this study, we propose a Persian em...
متن کاملClassification of emotional speech using spectral pattern features
Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) is a new and challenging research area with a wide range of applications in man-machine interactions. The aim of a SER system is to recognize human emotion by analyzing the acoustics of speech sound. In this study, we propose Spectral Pattern features (SPs) and Harmonic Energy features (HEs) for emotion recognition. These features extracted from the spectrogram ...
متن کاملImproving of Feature Selection in Speech Emotion Recognition Based-on Hybrid Evolutionary Algorithms
One of the important issues in speech emotion recognizing is selecting of appropriate feature sets in order to improve the detection rate and classification accuracy. In last studies researchers tried to select the appropriate features for classification by using the selecting and reducing the space of features methods, such as the Fisher and PCA. In this research, a hybrid evolutionary algorit...
