Abstract :
This paper presents: (1) a summary of features of the human auditory system and aspects of sensorineural hearing loss (SHL) that support suspicion of an adaptive sub-band binaural noise-cancellation process; (2) description of a diverse sub-band adaptive processing (DSBAP) approach; and (3) experimental results indicating that DSBAP shows promise as a method of speech enhancement for hearing aids
