چکیده
The overall objective of work under this contract has been to evaluate promising signal processing algorithms for hearing aids under realistic conditions. Recent work has aimed at: 1) evaluating the behavioral and acoustic performance of several feedback-cancellation algorithms; 2) assessing the improvements to speech reception in the presence of interfering noise provided by processing signals from an array of four microphones worn on a headband; and 3) developing a predictive model of cancellation performance achievable with two ear-level microphones.
