Hi everybody,
I am working on designing a digital hearing aid as my MSc Project and am facing
severe difficulties in removing noise from speech. There are loads of stuff
about VAD on the web but all of them explain only the theory. I am at a very
cruicual stage because time is running out. Can anybody help me in this regard.
Plz its urgent.
Thanks in advance.
Some implementable VAD (Voice Activity Detection) algorithm or Single Channel Noise-Reduction Algorithm

Hi,
If you are working with only speech. one of the easy and an effective VAD will be to auto-correlate your signal and look for atleast 3 consecutive equally spaced peaks to declare it as a "Voiced" frame.

If working on hearing aid, you might find this codec
interesting, since it's designed for such applications
http://focus.ti.com/docs/prod/folders/print/aic111.html

That doesn't answer your question but the codec is
designed for hearing aids and is DSP comptible so
perhaps it could yield lower noise for you ...
