Technique to Improve Speech Intelligibility in Noise by Normalizing Signal Energy Over Time

An approach to audio processing aims to improve intelligibility by amplifying time segments of an input signal when the level of the signal falls below a long-term average level of the input signal, for instance, introducing a time-varying gain such that the signal level of the amplified segment matches the long-term average level.
