Hearing Aid Method by Equalizing Frequency Response of Phoneme Extracted from Human Voice
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hearing aid method by equalizing frequency response of phoneme which is extracted from human voice is proposed. One of the problems of the existing hearing aid is poor customization of the frequency response compensation. Frequency response characteristics are different by the person who need hearing aid. The proposed hearing aid is based on frequency response equalization by phoneme by phoneme. Frequency characteristics of phoneme are to be equalized. This is the specific feature of the proposed hearing aid method. Through experiments, it is found that the proposed hearing aid by phoneme is superior to the conventional hearing aid. Keywords—Hearing aid; phoneme; frequency response; equalization filter; hidden markov model (HMM)

متن کاملLimiting high-frequency hearing aid gain in listeners with and without suspected cochlear dead regions.
The purpose of this study was to compare threshold-matched ears with and without suspected cochlear dead regions in terms of the speech perception benefit from high-frequency amplification. The Threshold Equalizing Noise Test (TEN) was used to assess the presence of dead regions. Speech perception was measured while participants were wearing a hearing aid fit to approximate DSL[i/o] targets. Co...
متن کاملModeling of Phoneme Durations for Alignment between Polyphonic Audio and Lyrics
In this work we propose how to modify a standard approach to text-to-speech alignment for solving the problem of alignment of lyrics and singing voice. To this end we model the duration of phonemes, specific to the case of singing. We rely on a duration-explicit hidden Markov model (DHMM) phonetic recognizer based on mel frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs), which are extracted in a way robu...
متن کاملObjective measure of low-frequency amplification reduction in canal hearing aids with adaptive circuitry.
The total amount of "ampclusion" (low-frequency amplification + occlusion) and its reduction were measured in two identically fitting canal hearing aids with three circuitry capabilities: (1) K-Amp, (2) linear, and (3) noise reduction (ANP II). The insertion gains of all three circuits were adjusted to be closely matched and the amounts of occlusion for both aids were almost identical. Real-ear...
