openMHA

openMHA provides a modular signal-processing framework for development, evaluation, and simulation of hearing-aid algorithms and assistive hearing systems.

Key Features:

• Flexible Framework: Provides a highly adaptable framework that supports existing tools and method implementations for hearing-aid research.
• Signal-processing Plugins: Includes a variety of signal-processing plugins for algorithm implementation and experimentation.
• Custom Method Integration: Allows integration of user-implemented methods into the processing framework.
• Cross-Platform Compatibility: Operates independently of specific hardware and supports Linux, macOS, Windows, and 32-bit and 64-bit ARM architectures, including small portable integrated systems.
• Standardized Research Platform: Offers a consistent platform for implementing and testing algorithms to support reproducible research.

Scientific Applications:

• Hearing-aid algorithm development: Enables development and testing of hearing-aid signal-processing algorithms.
• Evaluation and simulation of assistive hearing systems: Supports simulation and evaluation of novel assistive hearing solutions.
• Signal-processing research and experimentation: Facilitates detailed analysis and experimentation with various hearing-aid algorithms using the provided processing tools.

Methodology:

Implements a standardized signal-processing framework with a plugin-based method integration to implement and test algorithms and promote reproducibility and verifiability.
