Abstract
A new hearing compensation algorithm based on a homomorphic multiplicative AGC (automatic gain control) is evaluated and compared against commercially available digitally programmable analog hearing aids. Both quantitative (speech recognition threshold and speech discrimination) and qualitative tests (estimation of perceived quality) were used in the evaluation. The new algorithm is shown to have made significant progress in restoring normal or near normal hearing for hearing impaired individuals
