Wavelet based Scheme to Improve Performance of Hearing under Noisy Environment
نویسنده
چکیده
Conventionally the testing of hearing aid algorithm is accomplished by conducting listening test on hearing impaired, but these tests are not only time consuming but also causes exhaustion, especially in aged patients. Simulation based testing proves to be better option for preliminary evaluation of developed algorithm. A novel methodology based on wavelet transform is designed for dichotic presentation. Among different wavelet families, daubechies & symlet are chosen due to their pre-eminence among others. The performance of developed algorithm has been tested on four normal hearing subjects under noisy environment with SNR of 3db, 0db, -3db & -6db in prerecorded phonetically balanced words. Comparative result analysis of performance measures like perception rate and perception time shows the outperformance of processed over unprocessed signals.

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...

Background : Noise-induced hearing loss is among the most common cause of occupational-related hearing loss. Nowadays, noise-induced hearing loss is a disastrous event of industrial world that may influence all races, ethnics and age groups. Methods : This cross sectional study was performed on 100 workers exposed to noisy environment (greater 85db) in Azmayesh factory. Having excluded all con...
متن کاملA method to solve the problem of missing data, outlier data and noisy data in order to improve the performance of human and information interaction
Abstract Purpose: Errors in data collection and failure to pay attention to data that are noisy in the collection process for any reason cause problems in data-based analysis and, as a result, wrong decision-making. Therefore, solving the problem of missing or noisy data before processing and analysis is of vital importance in analytical systems. The purpose of this paper is to provide a metho...
متن کاملAn Efficient Curvelet Framework for Denoising Images
Wiener filter suppresses noise efficiently. However, it makes the out image blurred. Curvelet preserves the edges of natural images perfectly, but, it produces visual distortion artifacts and fuzzy edges to the restored image, especially in homogeneous regions of images. In this paper, a new image denoising framework based on Curvelet transform and wiener filter is proposed, which can stop nois...
