چکیده

Hearing loss has become very common today. Approximately 10% of the population suffering hearing impairment due to different reasons across the world. Among all most commonly observed sensorineural hearing loss caused due to poor cochlear hair cells function and damages to cochlear nerve. Sensorineural hearing loss is characterized by widening of auditory filter which leads to spectral masking and degrades speech perception. Different researches are incorporated to minimize this effect but from previous studies it is observed that splitting of signal into two different parts and providing them dichotically to both the ears reduced it to effectively. In this paper several technique are reviewed to improve speech perception along with binaural dichotic presentation of speech using Field Programmable Logic Array (FPGA) to be used in hearing aid. KeywordsBinaural Hearing Aid, Dichotic Presentation, FPGA Implementation And Sensorineural Hearing Loss.

The Effects of Sensorineural Hearing Impairment on Asynchronous Glimpsing of Speech

In a previous study with normal-hearing listeners, we evaluated consonant identification masked by two or more spectrally contiguous bands of noise, with asynchronous square-wave modulation applied to neighboring bands. Speech recognition thresholds were 5.1-8.5 dB better when neighboring bands were presented to different ears (dichotic) than when all bands were presented to one ear (monaural),...
