Basilar membrane model using simulink for DSP

Our purpose is to apply a basilar membrane model (BMM) to a hearing-aid system to solve a problem in existing hearing-aid systems. In this study, we experiment on the response characteristics of our BMM implementation to C6711DSK, using real sounds and hearing-loss sounds, which imitate the characteristics of a hearing-impaired person's hearing ability. It is shown that our BMM can emphasize characteristic frequencies, and hearing-loss-sound is ameliorated to be easy to hear. These results suggest that our BMM using Simulink is effective in a hearing-aid system.
