Head shadow enhancement with low-frequency beamforming improves sound localization and speech perception for simulated bimodal listeners.
Many hearing-impaired listeners struggle to localize sounds due to poor availability of binaural cues. Listeners with a cochlear implant and a contralateral hearing aid - so-called bimodal listeners - are amongst the worst performers, as both interaural time and level differences are poorly transmitted. We present a new method to enhance head shadow in the low frequencies. Head shadow enhanceme...
متن کاملCombination of Beamforming and Synchronization Methods for Epileptic Source Localization, using Simulated EEG Signals
Localization of sources in patients with focal seizure has recently attracted many attentions. In the severe cases of focal seizure, there is a possibility of doing neurosurgery operation to remove the defected tissue. The prosperity of this heavy operation completely depends on the accuracy of source localization. To increase this accuracy, this paper presents a new weighted beamforming method...
متن کاملEnhancement of interaural level differences improves sound localization in bimodal hearing.
Users of a cochlear implant together with a contralateral hearing aid-so-called bimodal listeners-have difficulties with localizing sound sources. This is mainly due to the distortion of interaural time and level difference cues (ITD and ILD), and limited ITD sensitivity. An algorithm is presented that enhances ILD cues. Horizontal plane sound-source localization performance of six bimodal list...
متن کاملHead Movement Improves Auditory Speech Perception
People naturally move their heads when they speak, and our study shows that this rhythmic head motion conveys linguistic information. Three-dimensional head and face motion and the acoustics of a talker producing Japanese sentences were recorded and analyzed. The head movement correlated strongly with the pitch (fundamental frequency) and amplitude of the talker’s voice. In a perception study, ...
متن کاملSpeech Enhancement Using Beamforming
The problem of enhancing speech degraded by uncorrelated additive noise, when the noise speech alone available, has recently received much attention. Beamforming is one possible method of speech enhancement, because, the beamformer minimizes the output signal power but maintains signals from the desired direction. Beamforming techniques basically approach the problem from a spatial point of vie...
