| Abstract: |
A real time implementation and an evaluation of a Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) based optimal filtering technique for noise reduction in a dual microphone BTE hearing aid is presented. A method to improve the performance of a Voice Activity Detector (VAD) is described and evaluated physically. This method is used in the real time implementation of the optimal filtering Technique. A perceptual evaluation by normal hearing subjects is carried out for single and multiple jammer sound sources with speech weighted noise. The SVD-based technique can perform as well as an adaptive beamformer strategy in a single noise scenario (i.e. the ideal scenario for the latter technique), and, can outperform the beamformer technique in a multiple noise sources scenario. |
