Abstract

Systems and methods for detecting features in spoken speech and processing speech sounds based on the features are provided. One or more features may be identified in a speech sound. The speech sound may be modified to enhance or reduce the degree to which the feature affects the sound ultimately heard by a listener. Systems and methods according to embodiments of the invention may allow for automatic speech recognition devices that enhance detection and recognition of spoken sounds, such as by a user of a hearing aid or other device.
