Speech Enhancement for Electrolarynx Devices Using M-RLS: Intelligibility Improvement and Low-Power Hardware Feasibility

An electrolarynx, a widely used assistive device for voice restoration for individuals with laryngeal impairments, often suffers from mechanical buzz and poor intelligibility, limiting its everyday applicability. This work presents a modified recursive least squares (M-RLS) algorithm specifically de...
