Abstract:
The work focuses a new design approach to a hardware implementation of a Bio-Inspired Medical Hearing Aid which has the specificity to be portable and hence needs reduced resources and low power. This paper describes how we appropriately applied hardware optimization in the aim to reach on computationally intensive DSP algorithms for use to improve performance and efficiency of a hearing aid device on FPGA. Deaf people suffer from their social disease, so a device which could correct their hearing loss is needed. Even the technology advances these embedded devices can still be optimized for low cost. Contributions, mainly focus area reduction and hence low power consumption and dissipation. We propose a new design approach to meet the specifications of this embedded system.
