Neural-WDRC: A Deep Learning Wide Dynamic Range Compression Method Combined With Controllable Noise Reduction for Hearing Aids.

Trends in hearing
Wide dynamic range compression (WDRC) and noise reduction both play important roles in hearing aids. WDRC provides level-dependent amplification so that the level of sound produced by the hearing aid falls between the hearing threshold and the highes...

Performance and Reliability Evaluation of an Automated Bone-Conduction Audiometry Using Machine Learning.

Trends in hearing
To date, pure-tone audiometry remains the gold standard for clinical auditory testing. However, pure-tone audiometry is time-consuming and only provides a discrete estimate of hearing acuity. Here, we aim to address these two main drawbacks by develo...

Did You Hear That? Detecting Auditory Events with EEGNet.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
The behavioural nature of pure-tone audiometry (PTA) limits those who can participate in the test, and therefore those who can access accurate hearing threshold measurements. Event Related Potentials (ERPs) from brain signals has shown limited utilit...

Progress made in the efficacy and viability of deep-learning-based noise reduction.

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
Recent years have brought considerable advances to our ability to increase intelligibility through deep-learning-based noise reduction, especially for hearing-impaired (HI) listeners. In this study, intelligibility improvements resulting from a curre...

Use of a Deep Recurrent Neural Network to Reduce Wind Noise: Effects on Judged Speech Intelligibility and Sound Quality.

Trends in hearing
Despite great advances in hearing-aid technology, users still experience problems with noise in windy environments. The potential benefits of using a deep recurrent neural network (RNN) for reducing wind noise were assessed. The RNN was trained using...

Objective Prediction of Hearing Aid Benefit Across Listener Groups Using Machine Learning: Speech Recognition Performance With Binaural Noise-Reduction Algorithms.

Trends in hearing
The simulation framework for auditory discrimination experiments (FADE) was adopted and validated to predict the individual speech-in-noise recognition performance of listeners with normal and impaired hearing with and without a given hearing-aid alg...

An algorithm to increase intelligibility for hearing-impaired listeners in the presence of a competing talker.

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
Individuals with hearing impairment have particular difficulty perceptually segregating concurrent voices and understanding a talker in the presence of a competing voice. In contrast, individuals with normal hearing perform this task quite well. This...

Effect of Transtympanic Injection of Melatonin on Cisplatin-Induced Ototoxicity.

The journal of international advanced otology
OBJECTIVE: Cisplatin is a chemotherapeutic agent that is widely used in cancer treatment. Numerous side effects have been detected, one of which is ototoxicity. Melatonin, a product of the pineal gland, has a neuroendocrinoimmunological role in verte...
