The probability density function of the speech spectral amplitude is modelled with a simple parametric function which allows a high approximation accuracy for Laplace- or Gamma-distributed real and imaginary parts of the speech DFT coefficients. Also the statistical model can be adapted to optimally fit the distribution of the speech spectral amplitudes for a specific noise reduction system. Based on the superGaussian statistical model computationally efficient maximum a posteriori speech estimators are derived which outperform the commonly applied Ephraim-Malah algorithm.

INTRODUCTION The reduction of acoustical background noise using a single microphone is an important subject to improve the quality of speech communication systems in the context of digital hearing aids speech recognition hands-free telephony or teleconferencing. Although single-microphone speech enhancement has been a research topic for decades the estimation of a clean speech signal from its noisy observation remains a challenging
