N2 - Typically, speech enhancement algorithms minimize a suitable error criterion in the spectral or time domain. Although the error criterions have included perceptual properties such as masking thresholds, non-uniform frequency resolution and sensitivity of the auditory system, these are only done heuristically and the error criterion does not explicitly include an auditory model in their formulation. In this paper, we propose an auditory-domain based speech enhancement algorithm that minimizes the distortion between the auditory representation of the estimated and desired signal. Simulation results indicate that the proposed algorithm performs effectively under different noise conditions and also results in a lower average loudness error.
