SS01: NOISE REDUCTION IN HEARINGS AIDS AND ITS EVALUATION
Monday 22nd / 08:00 am / Room Islas Canarias
The latest development in hearing aid technology has introduced several new options related to noise suppression and speech enhancement. The modern microprocessor-controlled instruments have improved during the last 5-10 years, and today we would expect a better performance for the hard of hearing users. Is that so?
Technology itself may develop in many positive ways, but the important thing is that the users will have the necessary benefit from this development.
Modern signal processing on one side and the validation results on the other must be correlated in a way so that we can verify the technical improvements.
This session consists of two parts, first three papers from different companies presenting signal processing algorithms and then three papers with validation results, partly by speech in noise testing and also by questionnaire studies.
