Sub-band adaptive speech enhancement for hearing aids
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents: a summary of features of the human auditory system and aspects of SHL that support suspicion of an adaptive sub-band binaural noise-cancellation process; description of a diverse sub-band adaptive processing (DSBAP) approach; experimental results indicating that DSBAP shows promise as a method of speech enhancement for hearing aids.

New Hybrid Sub - band Speech Enhancement Systems incorporating Neural Networks and post - Weiner Filtering
In this paper, two new hybrid sub-band systems are proposed which aim to combine neural network sub-band processing with post-Wiener filtering for adaptive speech-enhancement processing of noisy signals. The proposed hybrid architectures comprise an early auditory-processing modelling inspired Multi-Microphone Sub-band Adaptive (MMSBA) system incorporating neural-network based non-linear sub-ba...
متن کاملSpeech Enhancement Using Noise Estimation with Adaptive Dynamic Quantile Tracking for Use in Hearing Aids
Background noise significantly degrades speech perception for persons with sensorineural hearing impairment. A single-input speech enhancement using adaptive dynamic quantile tracking for estimating the noise spectrum is presented for improving performance of hearing aids. A histogram for each spectral sample is estimated by dynamically tracking ten quantiles and the histogram peak is used as t...
متن کاملAdaptive Speech Enhancement Using Frequency-speciic Snr Estimates
| We describe an adaptive speech enhancement technique based on selecting a set of pre-computed FIR lters to process the compressed short-time power spectral trajec-tories of noisy speech. The responses of the pre-computed lters depend only on the signal to noise ratios (SNRs) and does not depend on the center frequency of the sub-bands. This allows for a compact design in which the estimate of...
متن کاملA New Shuffled Sub-swarm Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm for Speech Enhancement
In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm to enhance the noisy speech in the framework of dual-channel speech enhancement. The new method is a hybrid optimization algorithm, which employs the combination of the conventional θ-PSO and the shuffled sub-swarms particle optimization (SSPSO) technique. It is known that the θ-PSO algorithm has better optimization performance than standard PSO al...

© Speech Communication, Vol.25, Elsevier Science B.V., Amsterdam, The Netherlands, pp.177-186, 1998 3 In this paper, a general class of “single-hidden layered, feedforward” Artificial Neural Network (ANN) based adaptive non-linear filters is proposed for processing band-limited signals in a multimicrophone sub-band adaptive speech-enhancement scheme. Initial comparative results achieved in simu...
