  2. 1. Bone conducted sound transmission for communication systems

    Author : Sabine Reinfeldt; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; bone conduction; sound field hearing; occlusion effect; transcranial transmission; communication system; bone conduction microphone; hearing protection devices; hearing;

    Abstract : Bone conducted (BC) sound is vibrations in the skull bone that are transmitted to the cochlea and perceived as sound, originating from a sound field or a vibration transducer. This transmission path can be advantageous for communication systems in some situations, e.g. READ MORE

  4. 2. Sensing the environment : development of monitoring aids for persons with profound deafness or deafblindness

    Author : Parivash Ranjbar; Dag Stranneby; Erik Borg; Charlotte M. Reed; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Auditive identification; Deaf; Deafblind; Directional perception; Environmental sound; Filtering; Frequency transposing; Hearing aid; Hearing impairment; Modulating; Monitoring; Tactile perception; Vibratory aid; Vibratory identification; Electronics; Elektronik; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP; Elektronik; Electronics;

    Abstract : Earlier studies of persons with deafness (D) and/or deafblindness (DB) have primarily focused on the mobility and communication problems. The purpose of the present study was to develop technology for monitoring aids to improve the ability of persons with D and/or DB to detect, identify, and perceive direction of events that produce sounds in their surroundings.

  7. 5. A digital filterbank hearing aid

    Author : Thomas Lunner; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Digital signal processing hearing aids may provide possibilities for new signal processing strategies to compensate for hearing loss. However, to be practically usable in a headworn hearing aid the digital circuitry needs to fulfil requirements of low power consumption, low supply voltage and small size. READ MORE
