Inventory Driven Speech Enhancement for Binaural Hearing Instruments

Cel

"The goal of the proposed work is the development of a new and improved method for the binaural de-noising and de-reverberation of speech signals in hearing instruments. The proposed new method was pioneered by the research team of Prof. Robert Nickel in the context of (non-reverberant) monaural speech enhancement. The approach is fundamentally different from most conventional and state-of-the-art de-noising and de-reverberation schemes. Instead of filtering a distorted signal, a new ""clean"" signal is re-synthesized based on its likely characteristics. These characteristics are estimated from the distorted signal. Recently, X. Xiao and R. M. Nickel (applicant) presented a first successful monaural (single-channel) implementation of the proposed method for mobile communication systems (published in 2008 and 2009). In addition, the new approach also offers tremendous potential to improve existing de-noising and de-reverberation schemes in hearing instruments. To cope with the specific requirements of hearing instruments, however, the general approach must be substantially modified and extended. The proposed host organization, the Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) in Germany, and its Institute of Communication Acoustics under the direction of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Rainer Martin has highly developed expertise in research and development of signal processing strategies for hearing instruments. An International Incoming Fellowship (IIF) of the Marie Curie Action would enable Prof. Nickel to join the group of Prof. Martin in Bochum, Germany, to collaboratively research and develop the proposed new procedure."
