Abstract:

This investigation was conducted to determine whether the removal of hearing aids from these children for eighteen hours (+ 1/2 hour and including sleep time) would result in reduced speech intelligibility as perceived by a panel of listening judges who were unfamiliar with the speech of the deaf.

Abstract:

Binaural hearing aids making use of a wireless link are becoming a trend in hearing-aids design. However, it is still not clear how much gain can be obtained in complex real-life acoustic environments when using binaural hearing aids compared to monaural ones, and whether binaural hearing aids are worth the additional effort and complexity. This thesis aims to provide some answers to this question. In particular, it will compare the performance of different microphone array configurations, study the effects of using different head models for fixed beamforming design, assess the effect of head

Abstract:

Introduction: Despite the advantages of using a hearing aid (HA), only 1 out of 5 individuals who could benefit from a (HA) actually use one (World Health Organization, 2012). If an individual does not use a HA then it may impact on their quality of life, as well as others around them (Chia et al., 2007). Therefore it is important to understand why individuals do not use HAs after obtaining them. To date, there has been no study that investigates the reasons for HA disuse in the New Zealand population. Methods: Two groups of adults with hearing impairment were recruited: HA users (N = 35) an

Abstract:

The long-term outcomes of subjects fitted with a bone anchored hearing aid (BAHA) for a unilateral profound sensorineural hearing loss (UPSHL) are still evolving. Previous studies have focused on the comparison between shortterm outcomes obtained with hard-wired contralateral routing of signal (CROS) hearing aids and those obtained with BAHA devices. Published results on subjects who have worn their BAHA devices for UPSHL for more than twelve months are limited. This study explored the long-term outcomes of adults fitted with a BAHA for UPSHL. The aims were firstly to examine subjects' pre-ope

The published literature about measuring children's hearing aid outcomes in real-world contexts is limited, compared with that relating to adults.

The research used a modified version of the Glasgow Hearing Aid Benefit Profile (GHABP) which was administered to 49 deaf children aged 11-13 years and their parents and Teachers of the Deaf (ToDs) from the Greater Manchester area.

Abstract:

This thesis develops an adaptive environmental classification system for hearing aids. Two types of classifiers, minimum distance and Bayesian, are modified to include an adaptive layer that allows the classes to split or merge based on changes in the environment. In order to test the adaptability to the environmental change, both systems were first trained using two classes: Speech and Noise, followed by a testing period where, in addition to Speech and Noise, samples from a third class Music were introduced. Both systems were successful in detecting the presence of the new class Music and es

Abstract:

For many real-life situations, there is more than one speaker at a given time and people need to concentrate on a target sound signal to extract it. This process happens naturally for people with a normal hearing ability, but it is very difficult for hearing impaired persons. In this thesis, we present a system for enhancing the quality of the signal produced by a hearing aid. The proposed system combines spatial information with blind source separation (BSS) to extract the target signal. Results show that the proposed system can locate a target signal in different environments, with a good le

Abstract:

This work introduces new binaural beamforming algorithms for hearing aids, with a robustness to errors in the estimate of the target speaker direction of arrival (DOA) and a good trade-off between noise reduction and preservation of the noise/interferers spatial impression. Three robust designs are proposed, and their robustness is confirmed by simulation results. These robust designs are a combination of binaural and monaural beamformers using two different microphone configurations: one for low frequency components and one for high frequency components. The robust designs are also found to b

The development of intelligent devices is becoming a popular trend in the hearing aid industry. Such devices aim at making the user's listening experience more natural and at improving customer satisfaction. One focus of interest in this dissertation is the automatic adjustment of the hearing aid control settings to minimize the need for manual user interventions. The proposed system is based on computational intelligence tools, namely artificial neural networks and neurofuzzy systems, which have the ability to learn the dynamics of highly nonlinear systems without the need for the explicit kn

To date, very few studies have been conducted focusing on ratings of music and music listening experience of hearing aid (HA) users. This study aimed to collect more detailed and descriptive information via a questionnaire, on the music listening experience and ratings of musical sounds from postlingually deafened adults. The following hypotheses were posed: (i) ratings for music from HA users who have been assessed for a cochlear implant (HA-CI group) will be worse than those who have not been assessed for a CI (HA-NCI group); and (ii) HA users with a moderate or worse hearing loss (Moderate+

Abstract:

One of the main complaints of hearing aid users is the difficulty of and need for frequent adjustments they have to make to the device. Typically, volume control and other settings prescribed during the hearing aid fitting process still need to be fine-tuned in real life to meet the specific varying needs of the user in different environments. Recently, learning algorithms have been introduced to minimize these problems. By taking a weighted average of the past adjustments, the device is able to adapt to the preferred setting for each environment presented. Typically, fixed learning algorithms
