The method for fitting a monaural hearing device involve obtaining audiograms of both ears, and adjusting an amplification gain based on the audiograms of both ears, in which the audiograms comprise an audiogram of a first ear for wearing the monaural hearing device and an audiogram of a second ear not wearing the monaural hearing device. | 02-19-2015 |
20150078602 | HEARING LOSS COMPENSATION APPARATUS INCLUDING EXTERNAL MICROPHONE - A hearing loss compensation apparatus includes a microphone configured to collect an ambient sound and generate an audio signal based on the collected ambient sound. A hearing loss compensation apparatus body inserted into an ear of a hearing impaired patient is configured to compensate for the audio signal based on auditory characteristics of the hearing impaired patient. The hearing loss compensation apparatus body is further configured to output the audio signal in a direction of an eardrum of the hearing impaired patient. A connection member is configured to connect the microphone to the hearing loss compensation apparatus body and fix a position of the microphone to be inside an ear canal of the hearing impaired patient. | 03-19-2015 |
20150081285 | SPEECH SIGNAL PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ENHANCING SPEECH INTELLIGIBILITY - A speech signal processing apparatus and a speech signal processing method for enhancing speech intelligibility are provided. The speech signal processing apparatus includes an input signal gain determiner to determine a gain of an input signal based on a harmonic characteristic of a voiced speech, a voiced speech output unit to output a voiced speech in which a harmonic component is preserved by applying the gain to the input signal, a linear predictive coefficient determiner to determine a linear predictive coefficient based on the voiced speech, and an unvoiced speech preserver to preserve an unvoiced speech of the input signal based on the linear predictive coefficient. | 03-19-2015 |
