Abstract
Recent development of digital technology has offered new possibilities for noticeable advances of hearing aids. Using the digital technology, it is possible to equip hearing aids with powerful features such as multi-channel nonlinear compression amplification and the feedback cancellation, these are often difficult to implement with analog circuits. Still, speech in noise is one of the major complaints of not only hearing impaired persons but also normal listeners. This paper describes speech intelligibility in background noise for both normal and hearing impaired listeners. Speech enhancement algorithms were implemented and compared for normal and sensorineural hearing impairment listeners.
