    Abstract: A method for improving intelligibility of speech and/or warning sounds generated in a noisy environment including receiving an audio signal from the noisy environment, segmenting the audio signal into a plurality of frequency bandwidths to provide a plurality of temporal bandwidth limited signals, and providing each temporal bandwidth limited signal to an associated signal path and an associated control path in parallel with the associated signal path. The method also includes filtering the temporal envelope bandwidth signal in each associated control path using a delayless filter to provide an associated control signal, modulating an amplitude of the temporal bandpass signal in each associated signal path using the associated control signal to provide an associated output signal, and combining the associated output signals to provide a combined output signal that improves the intelligibility of the speech and/or warning sounds generated in the noisy environment.
