Dynamic range compression is an algorithm used in every modern hearing aid to keep sounds within a comfortable loudness range, but it works poorly in noisy environments. In this video presentation for the 2020 Acoustical Society of America meeting, I explain the math behind compression algorithms and show why they create distortion in noise.
