Beamforming algorithms in binaural hearing aids are crucial to improve speech understanding in background noise for hearing impaired persons. In this study, we compare and evaluate the performance of two recently proposed minimum variance (MV) beamforming approaches for binaural hearing aids. The bi…
In the real world, speech is usually distorted by both reverberation and background noise. In such conditions, speech intelligibility is degraded substantially, especially for hearing-impaired (HI) listeners. As a consequence, it is essential to enhance speech in the noisy and reverberant environmen…
In this paper, we propose a beamforming algorithm for binaural hearing aids with enhanced noise suppression capability. The enhancement is based on incorporating a priori spatial information into the conventional multichannel Wiener filtering (MWF) approach for noise suppression. We develop a low co…
