The former focuses on items like the recruitment phenomenon, the speech intelligibility of hearing-impaired persons, or just on the question of hearing comfort. Concerning these subjects, different algorithms intending to improve the hearing ability are presented in this paper. These are automatic gain controls, directional microphones, and noise reduction algorithms. Besides the audiological point of view, there are several purely technical problems which have to be solved. An important one is the acoustic feedback. Another instance is the proper automatic control of all hearing aid components by means of a classification unit. In addition to an overview of state-of-the-art algorithms, this paper focuses on future trends. Keywords and phrases: digital hearing aid, directional microphone, noise reduction, acoustic feedback, classification, compres- sion. 1. INTRODUCTION being close to each other. Details regarding this problem and possible solutions are discussed in Section 5. Note that Driven by the continuous progress in the semiconductor feedback suppression can be applied at different stages of technology, today’s high-end digital hearing aids offer pow- the signal flow dependent on the chosen strategy.

Low-Voltage CMOS Log-Companding Techniques for Audio Applications
(c) 2004 Kluwer Academic Publishers http://dx.doi.org/10.1023/B:ALOG.0000011163.29809.57 Low-Voltage CMOS Log-Companding Techniques for Audio Applications Francisco Serra-Graells ([email protected]) Centro Nacional de Microelectrónica, Institut de Microelectònica de Barcelona AdoraciónRueda ([email protected]) Centro Nacional de Microelectrónica, Instituto de Microelectrónica de Sevilla JoséLuis Huertas ([email protected]) Centro Nacional de Microelectrónica, Instituto de Microelectrónica de Sevilla Abstract. This paper presents a collection of novel current-mode circuit techniques for the integration of very low-voltage (down to 1V) low-power (few hundreds of ¹A) complete SoCs in CMOS technologies. The new design proposal is based on both, the Log Companding theory and the MOSFET operating in subthreshold. Several basic building blocks for audio amplification, AGC and arbitrary filtering are given. The feasibility of the proposed CMOS circuits is illustrated through experimental data for different design case studies in 1.2¹m and 0.35¹m VLSI technologies. Keywords: Low-Voltage, CMOS, Subthreshold, Log, Companding, Audio, Design, Hearing-Aids 1. Introduction The increasing market demand on portable System-on-Chip (SoC) ap- plications has stimulated the search for new low-voltage and low-power analog techniques for mixed VLSI circuits. The critical design con- strains in such products come from the battery technology itself, which imposes very low-voltage supply operation (down to 1.1V) combined with low-power figures (below 1mA) in order to extend battery life as long as possible. In order to overcome the very low-voltage restriction in CMOS tech- nologies, supply multipliers based on charge pumps [1] are commonly used, although some effort are being done in switched-capacitors filters for very low-voltage compatibility [2].
