Real-time digital speech processing strategies for the hearing impaired

چکیده
This paper deals with digital processing of speech as it pertains to the hearing impaired. The issues described in this paper deal with the development of a true real-time digital hearing aid. The system (based on Texas Instruments TMS320C3X) implements frequency shaping, noise reduction, , interaural time delay, amplitude compression and various timing options. It also provides a testbed for future development. The device is referred to as the DIgital Programmable Hearing Aid (DIPHA). DIPHA uses a wide bandwidth (upto 16 KHz). DIPHA is a fully programmable device that permits us to program various speech processing algorithms and test them on hearing impaired subjects in the real world as well as in the laboratory.

Cochlear implants are electronic devices that have enabled individuals with severe to profound hearing losses to regain some hearing. Nearly all of those who receive cochlear implants (CIs) regain the sensation of sound. There is, however, substantial variability in speech perception performance among users of cochlear implants (Staller et al., 1997). One factor that may contribute to the indiv...
