چکیده
Development of algorithms for digital hearing aid processing includes many steps from the first algorithmic idea and implementation up to field tests with hearing impaired patients. Each of these steps has its own requirements towards the development environment. However, a common platform throughout the whole development process is desirable. This paper gives an overview of the application of Linux Audio in the hearing aid algorithm development process. The performance of portable hardware in terms of delay, battery runtime and processing power is investigated.

متن کاملThe Relationship Between Acceptable Noise Level and Initial Acceptance of Hearing Aid
Introduction: The Acceptable Noise Level (ANL) evaluates the willingness of a listener to hear a continuous speech in the presence of background noise. ANL is related to some variables. Although many studies were accomplished on the relationship between ANL and hearing aid satisfaction, no study was found for the usage of ANL as the predictor of initial hearing aid acquisition. Therefore, the c...

متن کاملEvaluation of spatial audio reproduction schemes for application in hearing aid research
Loudspeaker-based spatial audio reproduction schemes are increasingly used for evaluating hearing aids in complex acoustic conditions. To further establish the feasibility of this approach, this study investigated the interaction between spatial resolution of different reproduction methods and technical and perceptual hearing aid performance measures using computer simulations. Three spatial au...
