Book description
Digital Hearing Aids
is an essential reference for information about the latest innovations
in digital hearing aid technology. Concise descriptions and
easy-to-reference tables and diagrams enable the reader to rapidly gain
a solid understanding of digital signal processing, including such
important topics as adaptive acoustic directionality, adaptive noise
reduction, adaptive feedback cancellation, and sound classification. The
book is divided into three main sections, with the first section
providing an overview of foundational concepts, the second section
presenting detailed analysis of state-of-the-art processing techniques,
and the third section describing specific technical aspects of digital
processing. Highlights:
Each chapter opens with a brief overview of topics and questions,
rapidly orienting the reader with the scope of the material presented
Mathematical examples in the third section of the book allow the
reader to work through practical calculations, comprehend the nuts and
bolts of the processing schemes, and understand the benefits and
limitations of each
More than 170 illustrations and diagrams aid the comprehension of
key concepts
This handbook is ideal for audiologists, otolaryngologists,
speech-language pathologists, and for other professionals involved in
the applications of digital signal processing. "Bridges the
fields of electrical engineering and audiology...this book is a
gem...The illustrations in each chapter are plentiful and
excellent...[and] coloured...The illustrations render the verbal
explanations clear and compliment them very well. They are an
exceptionally good feature...interesting...highly informative...uses
clear and plain numerical examples...[that] serve to make it as easy as
possible for readers to form a mental picture of events."--Canadian
Hearing Report_x000D_ _x000D_ "A comprehensive overview of
amplification devices from basic concepts...to complex signal processing
schemes...offers detailed technical information about how different
aspects of advanced hearing aid signal processing is
accomplished."--Doody's Book Reviews Bernafon AG, Bern,
