Package Information

Descriptionopen-source framework for hearing aid signal processing research

openMHA (Open Master Hearing Aid) is an open-source software framework for research and development of hearing aid signal processing algorithms.

It provides a modular toolbox library, a runtime framework and a command line application for building and evaluating real-time audio processing chains. The system includes a wide range of plugins implementing common hearing aid algorithms, such as noise reduction, beamforming, feedback cancellation, dereverberation, dynamic range compression and spatial filtering.

openMHA supports binaural and multi-channel processing and includes reference implementations of algorithms used in academic research. It is designed to facilitate reproducible experiments and rapid prototyping of hearing aid processing strategies.

Additional tools are provided for calibration, resampling and signal analysis. Optional support for proprietary fitting rules (e.g. NAL-NL2 and DSLmio) can be enabled if the required external libraries are available.

This package is primarily intended for researchers, developers and engineers working on hearing aid technologies and audio signal processing.
