  • Abstract
    We propose a hearing aid fitting method based on an interactive evolutionary computation (IEC). First, we identify the problems with current hearing aid fitting methods and propose an IEC fitting method to improve the fitting process with completely different approach from that of conventional fitting methods. Then, we design an experimental hearing aid system and evaluate the IEC fitting method. Using speech and music sources, we show that our proposed IEC fitting method outperforms conventional ones
