DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The aim of the proposed effort is to develop revolutionary technology for hearing aids that will lead to a marked improvement in the ability of the hearing impaired to understand speech in noisy environments. Our focus is on improving the technology of acoustic sensing and processing of signals so as to minimize the influence of unwanted sounds. We will accomplish this by a highly coordinated team effort to ensure that the design parameters of each feature of the system are mutually optimized and are compatible. This effort may be viewed as having three closely interrelated areas of technology development: novel directional microphones, novel optical electronic readout, and novel signal processing.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议努力的目的是开发革命性的助听器技术，这将导致听力受损者在嘈杂环境中理解语音的能力显著提高。我们的重点是改善声学传感和信号处理技术，以尽量减少不必要的声音的影响。我们将通过高度协调的团队努力来实现这一目标，以确保系统每个功能的设计参数相互优化和兼容。这一努力可以被视为具有三个密切相关的技术发展领域：新型定向麦克风、新型光电读出和新型信号处理。
