Contributions of Louis Braida to improved signal processing for hearing aids: Addressing the problem of reduced dynamic range in listeners with sensorineural hearing loss
Abstract:Lou’s early work in the area of improved signal processing for hearing aids included his research on compression amplification to combat the effects of loudness recruitment in listeners with sensorineural hearing loss. Working with his doctoral students (including Rich Lippmann, Steve De Gennaro, and Diane Bustamante), Lou made major contributions towards an analytical understanding of the benefits and limitations of compression amplification as a component of hearing aids. Recently, Lou has been involved in w… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
