Evaluation of Noise Reduction Algorithms in Hearing Aids for Multiple Signals From Equal or Different Directions

open access: yesTrends in Hearing, 2018
One objective way to evaluate the effect of noise reduction algorithms in hearing aids is to measure the increase in signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR). To this end, Hagerman and Olofsson presented a method where multiple recordings take place and the phase of ...

Biomimetic direction of arrival estimation for resolving front-back confusions in hearing aids [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Sound sources at the same angle in front or behind a two-microphone array (e.g., bilateral hearing aids) produce the same time delay and two estimates for the direction of arrival: A front-back confusion.

Unilateral hearing loss and the use of hearing aid: speech recognition, benefit, self-perception of functional performance and satisfaction

open access: yesRevista CEFAC, 2019
Purpose: to investigate speech recognition in silence and in noise in subjects with unilateral hearing loss with and without hearing aids, and to analyze the benefit, self-perception of functional performance, satisfaction and the use of hearing aids in ...

Perception of One’s Own Voice After Hearing-Aid Fitting for Naive Hearing-Aid Users and Hearing-Aid Refitting for Experienced Hearing-Aid Users

open access: yesTrends in Hearing, 2020
Dissatisfaction with the sound of one’s own voice is common among hearing-aid users. Little is known regarding how hearing impairment and hearing aids separately affect own-voice perception.

The minimum monitoring signal-to-noise ratio for off-axis signals and its implications for directional hearing aids [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) benefit of hearing aid directional microphones is dependent on the angle of the listener relative to the target, something that can change drastically and dynamically in a typical group conversation.

Perceptions about hearing aids from elderly non-users: a bicultural point of view (Italy and USA)

open access: yesAudiology Research, 2011
Perceptions about hearing aids can vary across people of different cultural backgrounds depending upon beliefs, healthcare policies, education, etc. This study investigated the perceptions about hearing aids of non-user elderly subjects from Italy (IT ...

Effect of face masks on speech perception in noise of individuals with hearing aids

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2022
Although several previous studies have confirmed that listeners find it difficult to perceive the speech of face-mask-wearing speakers, there has been little research into how masks affect hearing-impaired individuals using hearing aids.

1 V CMOS subthreshold log domain PDM [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
A new CMOS circuit strategy for very low-voltage Pulse-Duration Modulators (PDM) is proposed. Optimization of voltage supply scaling below the sum of threshold voltages is based on Instantaneous Log Companding processing through the MOSFET operating in ...

Directional Hearing Aids [PDF]

open access: yesTrends in Amplification, 2001
When asking individuals with hearing impairment to identify the situations for which the most communication difficulty is encountered, listening in noise seems to be nearly universally mentioned. In fact, I would venture that if queried, almost no patient would refuse the offer of improved levels for sounds of interest in relation to the level of ...
