Hello Pragati,
the open Master Hearing Aid (openMHA) software provides the possibility to simulate hearing loss in terms of reduced sensitivity and spectral smearing for reduced frequency selectivity. Two example configurations are available, one for file-to-file processing, the other one for real-time simulation:
https://github.com/HoerTech-gGmbH/openMHA/tree/master/examples/35-hearing-loss-simulation

These could be adapted according to your needs.

Best,
Hendrik

Dear Colleagues,

I am looking for a hearing loss simulator that can simulate the impact of IHC and OHC loss when a given audiogram is fed and then process audio files with that information. This is so that a more nuanced impact of various degrees of hearing loss/shapes of audiogram on specific audio files can be shown instead of using band-pass filtering. If you know of any such tools or can recommend any articles/labs which have developed these, please let me know.

Thanks,

Pragati
