835 results about "Electrophonic hearing" patented technology

Electrophonic hearing is the direct stimulation of the auditory nerves by external electromagnetic fields. In 1962 Allan H Frey carried out a series of experiments which proved that microwaves can produce the sound even in those who are deaf. The theory is unable to explain why only the sense of hearing is affected - though there are rare reports of people noting odd smells accompanying an aurora display. See also the discussion of the Electrophonic effect/Microwave auditory effect which covers various mechanisms in detail. P

Hearing instrument and method for noise suppression in a hearing instrument

A method for noise suppression in a hearing instrument includes using an acousto-electric input transducer of the hearing instrument to generate an input signal from ambient sound. A frequency-band-wise noise suppression is applied to a processing signal derived from the input signal. Stationary noise is detected in the respective frequency band, and depending on the detected stationary noise, an amplification factor of the processing signal is set for the relevant frequency band. An analysis adapted to detect stationary and non-stationary noise is applied to the processing signal. The analysis has a lower frequency resolution than the frequency-band-wise noise suppression and, upon detected presence of stationary and / or non-stationary noise in the analysis of the processing signal, the stationary noise in the frequency-band-wise noise suppression is presumed to be detected in each frequency band, and the corresponding amplification factors are set.
