Opis: Digital Hearing Aids - Arthur Schaub

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 ReportA 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 ReviewsTABLE OF CONTENTS Foreword Preface Part I Basics and overview 1.
