ABSTRACT
• One of the most important issues for human being is aid in hearing. Hearing aid is small
electronic instrument which make sound louder and make speech easier to hear and
understand.
• It has been designed to pickup sound waves with a microphone, change weaker sounds
into louder sounds and send them to the ear through a speaker with the microchips
available today.
• Hearing aids have become smaller and significantly improved in quality. Hearing loss is a
measure in auditory system compared to that of a normal ear for detection of a pure tone.
• But with availability of modern day technologies and the recent developments in signal
processing area, sophisticated artificial hearing aid systems can be designed that relax the
job of damaged auditory systems to a great extent and make much of the sound available
to the hearing impaired.
ABSTRACT(Continued)
• This project was developed in MATLAB programming language. Recurrent Neural
Network is used for the filtering system implementation of digital hearing aid
(DHA)system.
• This, in turn reduces implementation complexity. The cost effectiveness of this
technique also comes from the fact that, the user can reprogram the same device,
once his hearing loss pattern is found to have changed in due course of time,
without the need to replace it completely.
• The design program can be tested using the enhanced hearing aid hardware
implemented. The high frequency based filtering process for digital hearing aid
system includes noise reduction filter, frequency-dependent amplification and
amplitude compression.
INTRODUCTION
• The auditory system is a very sensitive and complex network.
• The most effective way to compensate hearing loss is to employ a hearing aid
system which is an integration of voice amplification, noise reduction, feedback
suppression, automatic program switching, environmental adaptation, and etc.
• The basic function of a hearing aid system is to amplify sounds selectively and
then transfer the processed signal to the ear.
LITERATURE SURVEY 1
TITLE OF THE PAPER In-situ measurement and prediction of hearing aid outcomes
using mobile phones

AUTHOR, JOURNAL Hasan, Syed Shabih, Ryan Brummet, Octav Chipara, Yu-Hsiang Wu,
AND YEAR OF and Tianbao Yang; 2015 International Conference on Healthcare
PUBLICATION Informatics, IEEE, 2015.
METHOD This paper proposed the problem of creating predictive models for
hearing aid outcomes that incorporate information about auditory
abilities, hearing-aid features, and auditory contexts.

ADVANTAGE The use of a mobile application allowed us to collect fine-grained


hearing aid outcome measures in different auditory contexts.

DISADVANTAGE Higher number of data collection is required which burden to enable


the development of an application that clinicians may use.

TITLE OF THE PAPER Ultra small hearing aid electronic packaging enabled by chip-in-
flex

AUTHOR, JOURNAL Dzarnoski, John, and Susie Johansson.


AND YEAR OF 64th Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC),
PUBLICATION IEEE, 2014
METHOD Proposes the use of embedded die packaging (or chip-inflex) to drive
significant further size reduction in custom and standard hearing
instruments over what can be achieved using chip-on-flex or ceramic
hybrid based technologies.
ADVANTAGE Performance improvement,
Size reduction,
Circuits are extremely reliable
DISADVANTAGE This technology is only in its beginning stages and many
improvements are likely to come over

AND YEAR OF Kongthavorn, Y. Juntarapaso, and V. Plangsaengmas.
PUBLICATION Biomedical Engineering International Conference, IEEE, 2013.
METHOD To design and develop a hearing aid measurement system to obtain the
performance characteristics of the hearing aid

ADVANTAGE Provide more information of the hearing aid’s frequency response.


Also determine the exact lowest bandwidth frequency of the hearing
aid.

DISADVANTAGE Standard components are used so, cost of the equipment is expensive.

TITLE OF THE PAPER Adaptive gain processing with offending frequency suppression for
digital hearing aids

AUTHOR, JOURNAL Pandey, Ashutosh, and V. John Mathews.


AND YEAR OF IEEE Transactions on Audio, Speech, and Language Processing 20,
PUBLICATION no. 3 (2011)
METHOD Developed thedigital hearing aids identify acoustic feedback signals
and cancel them continuously in a closed loop with an adaptive filter

ADVANTAGE • facilitates larger hearing aid gain and


• improves the output sound quality of hearing aids
• able to provide acceptable speech intelligibility for a larger range of
hearing impairments

DISADVANTAGE • the information is perceptually insignificant.


• suppresses residual acoustical feedback components at frequencies
that have the potential to drive the system to instability
LITERATURE SURVEY 5
TITLE OF THE PAPER Advantages of cartilage sound conduction in hearing
aids
AUTHOR, JOURNAL Shimokura, Ryota, Toshie Matsui, Tadashi Nishimura, and Hiroshi
AND YEAR OF Hosoi.
PUBLICATION ICME International Conference on Complex Medical Engineering,
IEEE, 2012.
METHOD The cartilage conduction hearing aid has been developed for patients
who cannot use conventional hearing aids owing to particular diseases
of the external or middle ear. A user of such a hearing aid places the
ring-shaped transducer gently at the entrance of the external auditory
canal.
ADVANTAGE Cartilage conduction hearing aid has advantages over the conventional
devices in terms of the robustness against the acoustic feedback and
effective binaural use.
DISADVANTAGE Technique is complicated
PROPOSED SYSTEM
• A database of these acquired signals under different environmental conditions
such as male voice, female voice and music and also based on distance is created.
• According to deaf persons, there would be three levels of classifications(i.e.)
good, bad and better.
• This classification results arrived after hearing the filter signal and raw signals
separately and also varying in 3/5/10m distance.
• The classification for good, bad &better are in 0-5 point scaling, results are
obtained from 20 deaf persons rating.
PROPOSED SYSTEM
• The same method is applied to 3m/5m/10m distance between source and hearing
aid acquired signal with different environmental conditions.
• For the acquired signals, the frequency range and band values are calculated.
Based on the values, various filters are applied and evaluated for their
performance statistically and qualitatively.
• After the Hearing aid microphone signal(HAM) passes through the filter is
statistically evaluated.
PROPOSED SYSTEM
ADVANTAGES

• Addresses to compensate the losses, due to various distances and environmental


conditions between source and hearing aid and also for different type of signals.

• The proposed filter can meet different needs of hearing loss cases with acceptable
frequency range.
