摘要
耳聋已成为一个世界性的问题,解决耳聋问题的最直接手段是给耳聋患者戴上助听器,提高人耳对语音感知。数字助听器最大的优点是能够植入各种语音处理算法,改变语音的分布,提高人耳感知语音的舒适度和分辨率。数字助听器的诞生给耳聋患者带来了希望。
     本文重点研究了数字助听器的核心算法。将人耳的听觉掩蔽效应应用到数字助听器的核心算法中去,直接从人耳的听觉生理上出发,改善人耳对声音的听觉舒适度,并且把此算法在DSP上实现。
     本文首先分析了数字助听器三个核心算法:语音增强,宽动态压缩和移频压缩。传统的数字助听器算法忽略了人耳的生理特性,语音听觉舒适度没提高,针对算法的缺点,提出用基于听觉掩蔽效应的语音增强算法取代原语音增强算法。这样利用人耳的生理特性降低噪声,提高语音感知的舒适度。
     针对听觉掩蔽效应的语音增强算法,本文首先对噪声的估算运用了实时噪声估计,提高了噪声估计的准确性,降低了语音失真。还对原有算法中的听觉掩蔽阈值计算不准确,从而引起了谱减系数计算误差,导致语音失真过大的问题,提出了一种改进的计算方法。在原有的谱减系数计算公式中加入了一个修改参数θ来降低语音失真。实验仿真结果表明,本算法不但提高了语音信噪比,还改善了语音音质。
     其次就传统的宽动态压缩算法,在实现频谱增益时忽略了语音共振峰,频谱增益后引起了共振峰的非线性变化,改变了共振峰的频域分布,针对此问题提出了一种基于共振峰估计的宽动态压缩算法,减少了共振峰的非线性失真,改善了听觉舒适度。
     最后对数字助听器的三个核心算法进行了实验验证。利用合众达的SEED—DEC5416开发板,把数字数听器的三个核心算法植入其中,在此开发板上实现了三种语音处理功能。在算法的实现过程中,对其中出现的问题进行了分析研究。实践表明,该模块满足了语音的实时性并且达到了数字助听器语音处理的效果。
Deafness has become a global problem, the best solution for deafness means to wear hearing aids, voice through hearing aids for reduce noise, improve human ear on the voice level of comfort. Traditional analog hearing aids, only to strengthen the human ear to the voice of perception, this simple amplification can help the patients of conduction hearing loss. But the accounting for the majority of deaf patients with SNHL in patients with virtually no benefits, it will increase the ear to feel much bad. Solving the nerve deafness in patients with hearing loss, the most critical issue is to change the distribution of audio, let patients with limited hearing to feel the voice, and the core processors of digital hearing aids can add voice algorithm, and change the distribution of voice, the birth of digital hearing aids to deaf patients is a good news.
     This paper focuses on the digital hearing aids of auditory masking. We use ear to the physiological characteristics-auditory masking effect of the digital hearing aids to the core algorithm, directly from the ear to the hearing of the physical to have an improvement of the human ear to the voice of comfort.
     This paper firstly introduces the three core algorithm for digital hearing aids, on their strengths and weaknesses. We use the speech enhancement algorithms of masking effect to the digital hearing aids. This has the advantage of directly from the people to the character- ristics of the ears, ears of the people voice perception that the maximum comfort.
     Auditory masking effect for voice enhancement algorithms, the paper of the original algorithm in the auditory masking threshold value is not accurate, resulting spectrum by coefficient calculation error; voice distortion caused too great a problem, an improved method of calculation. In the original spectrum by joining the formula for calculating the coefficient of revised parameters, the algorithm can reduce the voice distortion. Simulation results show that the algorithm can improve the voice signal to noise ratio also improved voice quality.
     Then, the traditional wide dynamic compression algorithm, in the realization of the gain spectrum ignoring the voice formant, after the spectrum gain resonance from the peak of the non-linear changes, change the resonance frequency of the peak.For this issue, we bring forward a new WDRC algorithm which is based on the estimated formant, reduce the resonance peak of nonlinear distortion and improved the auditory comfort.
     Finally, the three core algorithm of the digital hearing aids were verified .The using of the SEED-DEC5416 development board has heard several figures for the algorithm to make a prototype of the digital hearing aids. Practice shows that the module to meet the real-time voice and reach of digital hearing aids voice processing results.
