SIGNAL PROCESSING FOR AUDITORY COMMUNICATION IN NOISY ENVIRONMENTS

Objective

SPACE aims to improve the future development of hearing aids and communication devices by refining techniques to reduce noise which prevents speech from being intelligible. Signal processing software modules will be developed and evaluated in field tests using wearable devices. The devices should be fitted to the ear in the best possible manner to compensate for impaired auditory functions in deaf people. However, noise reduction techniques will also be useful for people with normal hearing who have difficulty hearing speech in noisy working places. SPACE aims to describe the auditory demands for communication in a number of work locations and show how technical solutions can restore communications by means of intelligent 'communication devices'. The major work is directed towards the application of signal processing schemes; there will also be a strong emphasis on feedback from a panel of potential end-users.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.
