Purpose: Our study aims to compare speech understanding in noise and spectral- temporal resolution skills with regard to the degree of hearing loss, age, hearing aid use experience and gender of hearing aid users. Methods: Our study included sixty-eight hearing aid users aged between 40-70 years, with bilateral mild and moderate symmetrical sens...

Hearing aids provide the necessary amplification for successful rehabilitation of hearing-impaired persons. It becomes very challenging for hearing aid devices to attain close to normal hearing. This research suggests a method for improving communication for hearing-impaired people utilizing a combination of three strategies: noise estimation based integrated based gain function, adapted compressive sensing, and listener preference-based customization gain function. Use of integrated gain function and adapted compressive sensing helps to reduce the noise distortion. Use of the customization gain function allows for enhancing the noise-removed speech to the comfort level of the listener. It is achieved by shaping the frequency and amplitude of signal. The overall objective is to enhance quality (noise suppression) and intelligibility (perception) of speech. Performance of proposed solution is tested against noise at various SNR. Results are compared with existing works to established speech quality metrics. The proposed solution is able to attain about 40% improvement in noise quality and 70% reduction in processing time compared to existing works.
