Abstract
Hearing aids for persons with sensorineural hearing loss aim to compensate for degraded speech perception caused by frequency-dependent elevation of hearing thresholds, reduced dynamic range, abnormal loudness growth, and increased temporal and spectral masking. A digital hearing aid is implemented as a smartphone application as an alternative to ASIC-based hearing aids. The implementation provides user-configurable processing for background noise suppression and dynamic range compression. Both processing blocks are implemented for real-time processing using single FFT-based analysis-synthesis. A touch-controlled graphical user interface enables the user to set and fine-tune the processing parameters in an interactive and real-time mode.
