In this contribution, a concept of an assistive technology for hearing-impaired and deaf persons is presented. The concept applies pattern recognition algorithms and makes use of modern communication technology to analyze the acoustic environment around a user, identify critical acoustic signatures and give an alert to the user when an event of interest happened. A detailed analysis of the needs of deaf and hearing-impaired people has been performed. Requirements for an adequate assisting device have been derived from the results of the analysis, and have been turned into an architecture for its implementation that will be presented in this article. The presented concept is the basis for an assistive system which is now under development at the Institute of Microsystem Engineering at the University of Siegen.
在本论文中，提出了一种针对听力受损和失聪人士的辅助技术概念。该概念应用模式识别算法，并利用现代通信技术来分析用户周围的声学环境，识别关键声学特征，并在感兴趣的事件发生时向用户发出警报。已对聋人和听力受损人士的需求进行了详细分析。从分析结果中得出了对适当辅助设备的要求，并将其转化为本文将介绍的实现架构。所提出的概念是锡根大学微系统工程研究所目前正在开发的辅助系统的基础。
