  • Patent number: 9313582
    Abstract: A method for enhancing speech output in real time is used in a hearing aid device. The input speech is divided into multiple audio segments first. Then each audio segment is analyzed for its attribute: high frequency, low frequency, or soundless. Low frequency segments are outputted without undergoing frequency processing. High frequency segments are outputted after undergoing frequency processing. All or some of the soundless segments are deleted without being outputted. The deletion of soundless segments can reduce the delay caused by the frequency processing of the high frequency segments.
