open Master Hearing Aid (openMHA) was developed and provided to the hearing aid research community as an open-source software platform with the aim to support sustainable and reproducible research towards improvement and new types of assistive hearing systems not limited by proprietary software. The software offers a flexible framework that allows the users to conduct hearing aid research using tools and a number of signal processing plugins provided with the software as well as the implementation of own methods. The openMHA software is independent of a specific hardware and supports Linux, macOS and Windows operating systems as well as 32-bit and 64-bit ARM-based architectures such as used in small portable integrated systems. www.openmha.org

Head shadow enhancement with low-frequency beamforming improves sound localization and speech perception for simulated bimodal listeners

由于双耳线索的可用性差，许多听力受损的听众难以定位声音。带有人工耳蜗和对侧助听器的听众--所谓的双峰听众--是表现最差的，因为两耳间的时间和水平差都很难传递。提出了一种新的低频头部阴影增强方法。头部阴影增强是通过在每只耳朵中使用对侧衰减的固定波束形成器来实现的。该方法导致耳间水平差随角度单调变化。在语音和噪声空间分离的情况下，它还提高了低频信噪比。我们验证了该方法在两个实验中的声学模拟双峰听。在定位实验中，与标准全向麦克风相比，性能从50.5°提高到26.8°均方根误差。在噪声中的语音实验中，语音从正面方向呈现。当噪声来自人工耳蜗侧时，语音接收阈值提高了15.7 dB SNR，当噪声来自助听器侧时，语音接收阈值提高了7.6 dB SNR，当噪声来自各个方向时，语音接收阈值不受影响。除了双模态听众，该方法也可能是有前途的双侧人工耳蜗或助听器用户。其低计算复杂度使得该方法适合于在当前临床设备中的应用。保留字：头影增强、耳间水平差增强、声音定位、定向听力、噪声中言语、言语清晰度PACS：43.60.Fg、43.66.Pn、43.66.Qp、43.66.Rq、43.66.Ts、43.71.- k，43.71.Es，43.71.Ky
