Sound visualization for hearing impaired person

Abstract

Visualization has been employed for centuries as a powerful way to present information. Many computational scientists routinely use visual imaging techniques. The visualization techniques are potentially useful for the display in many scientific and design applications. Sound visualization describes the perception process of imaging sounds through our auditory system. It is useful for hearing impaired people who have difficulties acquiring the perception of sounds. There are many sound representations such as time-varying spectra, open edit system (OSE) that provides so many sound representations, etc. Among these techniques, we use time-varying spectra technique (FFT) that provided in OSE for representing sound.
