ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
I would like to express our special thanks of gratitude to our mentor (Ms Shalu garg) who gave
us the golden opportunity to do this wonderful project on the topic (Digital Hearing Aid), which
also helped us in doing a lot of Research and we came to know about so many new things. We
are really thankful to them.
Secondly we would also like to thank and appreciate the hardwork of our team members which
helped a lot so far in this project.
INTRODUCTION
It does not operate in real-time, since we take in the entire speech signal and then manipulate it.
DESIGN DETAILS
Hearing loss compresses the range of hearing, raising the Threshold of Hearing and typically
lowering the Threshold of Pain. For example, a person with moderate hearing loss would have a
Threshold of Hearing around 40 - 70 dB and a Threshold of Pain around 100 dB.
How does the Amplitude Shaper Work?
We assume that the Frequency Shaper raises the frequencies that the user has difficulty hearing
to sound pressure levels within his dynamic range of hearing. Therefore, all that our Amplitude
Shaper has to do is check, bit by bit, that output power does not exceed a given saturation level,
Psat. Since noise is concentrated in the low power levels as well, the filter also removes a
significant amount of noise. Output power is equal to zero for levels below Psat. To implement
this, algorithm, we created amplitude shaper in MATLAB.
