Abstract
Our purpose is to apply a basilar membrane model (BMM) to hearing-aid systems to solve problems in existing hearing-aid systems. In this study, we construct the BMM using Simulink in hearing-aid systems. Also, we examine response characteristics of the BMM using Simulink. As a result, we show that the BMM using Simulink can emphasize characteristic frequencies, and the model probably has the effect of hearing compensation. These results suggest that the BMM using Simulink is useful for hearing-aid systems.
