Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2004/034739
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A hearing aid separates at least a part of an input audio signal into one or more band signals to obtain a deteriorated audio signal having a noise, which is heard by a user. Such a hearing aid is expected to activate and train the brain and cure encephalopathy. Moreover, the hearing aid forces the user, i.e., a person having difficulty in hearing, to utilize a healthy brain portion to its maximum so as to recognize the deteriorated audio signal having noise and the other healthy brain portion to compensate the deteriorated audio signal having noise, thereby understanding the meaning of the input audio.
