2 VARIABLE SPEECH DISTORTION WEIGHTED MULTICHANNEL WIENER FILTER BASED ON SOFT OUTPUT VOICE ACTIVITY DETECTION FOR NOISE REDUCTION IN HEARING AIDS KimNgo,AnnSpriet,2,MarcMoonen,JanWouters 2 andsørenholdtjensen 3 KatholiekeUniversiteitLeuven,ESAT-SCD,KasteelparkArenberg0,B-300Leuven,Belgium 2 KatholiekeUniversiteitLeuven,ExpORL,O.&N2,Herestraat9/72,B-3000Leuven,Belgium 3 AalborgUniversity,Dept.ElectronicSystems,NielsJernesVej2,DK-9220Aalborg,Denmark ABSTRACT This paper presents a variable Speech Distortion Weighted Multichannel Wiener FilterSDW-MWF) based on soft output Voice Activity DetectionVAD) which is used for noise reduction in hearing aids. A traditional SDW-MWF uses a fixed parameter to trade-off between noise reduction and speech distortion. Consequently, the improvement in noise reduction comes at the cost of a higher speech distortion. WithavariableSDW-MWFthegoalistoimprovethenoise reduction without increasing the speech distortion. A soft output VAD is used to distinguish between speech, noise and to incorporate a variable trade-off. In speech dominant segments it is desirable to have less noise reduction to avoid speech distortion. In noise dominant segments it is desirable to have as much noise reduction as possible. Experimental results with a variable SDW-MWF show a SNR improvement with a lower speech distortion compared to a SDW-MWF. Index Terms Multichannel Wiener Filter, Noise reduction, Speech distortion, Soft output VAD.. INTRODUCTION Background noisemultiple speakers, traffic etc.) is a significant problem for hearing aid users and is especially damaging to speech intelligibility. To overcome this problem both single-channel and multichannel noise reduction schemes have been proposed. The limitation of single-channel noise reduction is that only temporal and spectral signal characteristics are used. Multichannel noise reduction in addition exploits the spatial diversity of the speech and the noise signals. The objective of noise reduction algorithms is to maximally reduce the noise while minimizing speech distortion. A known multichannel noise reduction technique is This research work was carried out at the ESATlaboratory of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, in the frame of the Marie-Curie Fellowship EST-SIGNAL program under contract No. MEST-CT , and the Concerted Research Action GOA- AMBioRICS.

The scientific responsibility is assumed by its authors. the Speech Distortion Weighted Multichannel Wiener Filter SDW-MWF)[][2] that allows for a trade-off between noise reduction and speech distortion. However, the improvement innoisereductioncomesatthecostofahigherspeechdistortion. Recently, soft output Voice Activity DetectionVAD) has been used in speech enhancement for gain modification and noise spectrum estimation[3][][]. The concept is toincreasethegainwhenthereisahighprobabilitythat speechispresentandtoapplyalowergaininthepresence ofnoisei.e. whenthereisalowerprobabilitythatspeech ispresent. SoftoutputVADhasalsobeenusedforcontrolling the compression gain when noise reduction and dynamic range compression are integrated[]. Here, the soft output VADwasusedtodistinguishbetweenthespeechandthe noise dominant segments in order not to amplify the residual noise after the noise reduction. This paper presents a variable SDW-MWFbasedonsoftoutputVADwhichallowsfora variable trade-off between noise reduction and speech distortion in the SDW-MWF procedure. Thepaperisorganisedasfollows. InSection2thesignal modelandthesdw-mwfisdescribed. InSection3the SDW-MWFisextendedwithasoftoutputVAD.InSection experimental results are presented. The work is summarized in Section. 2.

The MWF has been extended to the SDW-MWF that allows for a trade-off between noise reduction and speech distortion using a trade-off parameter [][2]. Assume that the speech and the noise signals are statistically independent, then the optimal SDW-MWF that provides an estimate of the speech component in the first microphone is given by Wf) = R s f) + R n f)) R s f)e 8) wherethe M vectore equalsthefirstcanonicalvector definedase = [ ] T.Thesecond-orderstatistics ofthenoiseareassumedtobestationarywhichmeansr s f) canbeestimatedasr s f) =R x f) R n f)wherer x f) andr n f)areestimatedduringperiodsofspeech+noiseand periods of noise-only, respectively.

MULTICHANNEL WIENER FILTER WITH SOFT OUTPUT VAD Traditionally, the trade-off parameter is set to a fixed value andtheimprovementinnoisereductioncomesatthecostof a higher speech distortion. Furthermore, the speech+noise segments and the noise-only segments are weighted equally, whereasitisdesirabletohavemorenoisereductioninthe noise-only segments compared to the speech+noise segments. With a variable SDW-MWF it is possible to distinguish between the speech+noise segments and noise-only segments usingasoftoutputvad.thesoftoutputvadcanbeimplemented according to[3][][]. The variable SDW-MWF is derived from the MSE criterion asthe frequency parameter fisomittedinthesequelforthesakeofconciseness) argmin W ε{ Xs W H X 2 } 0) argmin W ε{p Xs W H X 2 + p) W H X n 2 } ) where pistheprobabilitythatspeechispresentinagiven signal segment.

If p = thevariablesdw-mwfsolutioncorresponds to the MWF solution. If 0 < p < thereisatrade-offbetweennoisereduction and speech distortion. 3.. Spatial and Spectral Filtering For further analysis the SDW-MWF can be decomposed into aspatialfilterandaspectralfilter[7][8].assumingthatr s isrankandusingthedefinitionsineq.7wecanwritethe optimal filter as P s X H s H s,h + p ) R n) P s X H s. ) Applying the matrix inversion lemma the optimal filter can then be decomposed into

This shows that the residual noise after the beamformerspatial filter) can be further suppressed by the postfilterspectral filter). The beamformer reduces the noise while keeping the speech component in the first microphone signal undistorted. The softoutputvad p onlyaffectsthespectralpostfiltering. The postfilter can be viewed as a single-channel Wiener filter where each frequency component is attenuated based on the signal-to-noise ratio..

On the other hand, the speech distortion is also increased which is shown in figure b). The variable SDW-MWF shows that the SNR improvement is achieved at lower speech distortion. The reason for this is that the noise dominant segments are suppressed more compared to the speech dominant segments, resulting in an improved SNR at lower speech distortion.

CONCLUSION In this paper, we have presented a variable SDW-MWF that makes a trade-off between noise reduction and speech distortion based on the soft output VAD i.e. probability that speech is present in a given signal segment.
