An architecture for wavelet-packet based speech enhancement for hearing aids
نویسندگان
چکیده
Wavelet packets have been applied in order to compensate the speech signal to improve the intelligibil-ity for a common hearing impairment known as recruitment of loudness, a sensorineural hearing loss of cochlear origin. We present an architecture that allows selection of the best decomposition tree for each patient , in order to apply this wavelet-packet based para-metric compression algorithm.

A New Method for Speech Enhancement Based on Incoherent Model Learning in Wavelet Transform Domain
Quality of speech signal significantly reduces in the presence of environmental noise signals and leads to the imperfect performance of hearing aid devices, automatic speech recognition systems, and mobile phones. In this paper, the single channel speech enhancement of the corrupted signals by the additive noise signals is considered. A dictionary-based algorithm is proposed to train the speech...
متن کاملFPGA Implementation of Hearing Aids using Stationary Wavelet-Packets for Denoising
Speech signals are often contaminated with acoustic noise, which is present in a variety of listening environments. This problem is of critical importance because background noise is particularly damaging to speech intelligibility for people with hearing loss and hearing aids users. A pre-processing step in modern digital hearing aids is denoising to estimate the signal in the band of interest ...
متن کاملWavelet-Based Speech Enhancement for Hearing Aids
Several wavelet-based methods have been applied to compensate the speech signal to improve the intelligibility for a common hearing impairment known as recruitment of loudness, a sensorineural hearing loss of cochlear origin. The more complete method performs both denoising and amplitude compression using the same wavelet coefficients for both stages.
متن کاملA New Algorithm for Voice Activity Detection Based on Wavelet Packets (RESEARCH NOTE)
Speech constitutes much of the communicated information; most other perceived audio signals do not carry nearly as much information. Indeed, much of the non-speech signals maybe classified as ‘noise’ in human communication. The process of separating conversational speech and noise is termed voice activity detection (VAD). This paper describes a new approach to VAD which is based on the Wavelet ...
متن کاملDenoising Speech Signals for Digital Hearing Aids: A Wavelet Based Approach
This study describes research developing a wavelet based, single microphone noise reduction algorithm for use in digital hearing aids. The approach reduces noise by expanding the observed speech in a series of implicitly filtered, shiftinvariant wavelet packet basis vectors. The implicit filtering operation allows the method to reduce correlated noise while retaining low-level high-frequency sp...
