[AUDITORY] openMHA 4.6.0 released

[Hendrik Kayser <hendrik.kayser@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Colleagues,
we're happy to announce this year's major release of the open Master
Hearing Aid (openMHA) software for low-latency real-time signal
processing tailored (but not limited) to hearing aid research.

It contains several plugins that realize a reference set of hearing aid
processing methods providing
basic functionality:
    - calibration
    - multi-band dynamic range compression
    - (adaptive) feedback cancellation

monaural signal enhancement:
    - single-channel noise reduction
    - adaptive differential microphone

and binaural processing:
    - coherence filter
    - beamforming algorithms
    - sound source localization


Plugins are available that implement the Open Sound Control (OSC) and
the Lab Streaming Layer (LSL) protocol for communication of data and
parameters in experimental setups.

Manuals and tools are provided for
    - using openMHA in different application scenarios
        (plugin development, application engineering, audiological research)
    - calibrating the output of custom hearing aid hardware
    - hearing aid fitting
    - implementation of new plugins

... as well as a collection of ready-to-use example configurations.

===

This open-source (AGPL-3.0) software runs under Linux, macOS and Windows
operating systems.

Further information such as guides for compilation and installation on
different operating systems are provided in the openMHA Github repository:

For more info and news add the repository to your watch-list and keep an
eye on www.openMHA.org.

Best regards
Hendrik Kayser, Tobias Herzke, Paul Maanen, Volker Hohmann
