Abstract
As well known as "Cocktail party effect," the binaural hearing assists human being to listen the specific sound selectively and to segeragatate of it. Frequency domain binarual model (FDBM hereafter) is a computer model of binaural hearing realized in the frequency domain based on FFT. In order to realize the selective listening for hearing impared, a binaural hearing assistance system utilizing FDBM is developed with howlling control by a novel howlling canceller. In this paper, the basic algorithm and its implementation of the new binaural hearing assistance system is presented.
