Digital signal processing: An aid for deaf people

The fundamental basis of the human communication process is the sense of hearing. In other words, oral language is learned/developed and reproduced mainly through the functions of the auditory system. From this perspective, hearing loss, whether total or partial, causes various limitations for the individual to establish interpersonal relationships and develop their socio-educational processes. Research such as this is relevant to minimize the scarcity of material on the vocal characteristics of people with hearing loss, assistive technology, reconfigurable computing, as well as on the proposal for Digital Voice Signal Processing in FPGA, specifically for the purpose of extracting certain parameters.
