- Abstract
Bone conduction hearing aids are designed to help individuals with conductive hearing loss. However, a common challenge in the use of these devices is the presence of "crosstalk," where sound intended for one ear is received by the opposite ear by bone conduction. In this study, we aimed to address this issue by investigating the potential of canceling crosstalk at an accelerometer on the mastoid. Surprisingly, the cancellation was still noticeable despite being designed to occur at the mastoid. Our test results with normal-hearing individuals showed that their hearing thresholds improved with crosstalk cancellation compared to when crosstalk was not canceled. These results demonstrate the potential for enhancing bone conduction hearing aids using crosstalk cancellation technology.
