Hearing impairment simulation producing the hearing of a hearing-impairment person (HI) is expected as an effective way to help a normal-hearing (NH) person to learn how to communicate with the HI person. Personalization of hearing impairment simulation is essential as auditory characteristics of individual HI persons are quite different from each other. However, measurement of auditory characteristics of individuals is time-consuming. In this paper, we propose a hearing impairment simulation using audiogram-based approximation auditory filter characteristics and gain characteristics to make it easy to develop hearing impairment simulation for individual HI persons. We conduct an experimental evaluation to compare intelligibility between a HI person and NH persons with the proposed hearing impairment simulation. |
