Recovering speech intelligibility with deep learning and multiple microphones in noisy-reverberant situations for people using cochlear implants.

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
For cochlear implant (CI) listeners, holding a conversation in noisy and reverberant environments is often challenging. Deep-learning algorithms can potentially mitigate these difficulties by enhancing speech in everyday listening environments. This ...

Enhancing music recognition using deep learning-powered source separation technology for cochlear implant users.

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
Cochlear implant (CI) is currently the vital technological device for assisting deaf patients in hearing sounds and greatly enhances their sound listening appreciation. Unfortunately, it performs poorly for music listening because of the insufficient...

[Design of Scalable Model of Cochlear Scala Tympani].

Zhongguo yi liao qi xie za zhi = Chinese journal of medical instrumentation
For cochlear implant training and robotic cochlear implant experiments, the design method of scalable scala tympani model was proposed. The mathematical model of the cochlea was used as the central curve of scala tympani channel. Referring to the cli...

Robotics for Cochlear Implantation Surgery: Challenges and Opportunities.

Otology & neurotology : official publication of the American Otological Society, American Neurotology Society [and] European Academy of Otology and Neurotology
OBJECTIVES: Recent advancements in robotics have set forth a growing body of evidence for the clinical application of the robotic cochlear implantation (RCI), with many potential benefits. This review aims to summarize these efforts, provide the late...

[Effect of electrode array type and insertion technique on the insertion force: in vitro cochlear model study].

Zhonghua er bi yan hou tou jing wai ke za zhi = Chinese journal of otorhinolaryngology head and neck surgery
To investigate the effect of insertion technique and electrode array type on the insertion force of electrode array, and to provide a basis for further optimizing electrode design and facilitating mini-invasive electrode insertion. Three types of e...

Robot-assisted Cochlear Implant Electrode Array Insertion in Adults: A Comparative Study With Manual Insertion.

Otology & neurotology : official publication of the American Otological Society, American Neurotology Society [and] European Academy of Otology and Neurotology
OBJECTIVE: To describe the first cochlear array insertions using a robot-assisted technique, with different types of straight or precurved electrode arrays, compared with arrays manually inserted into the cochlea.

[Preliminary application of robot-assisted electrode insertion in cochlear implantation].

Zhonghua er bi yan hou tou jing wai ke za zhi = Chinese journal of otorhinolaryngology head and neck surgery
To evaluate the safety and outcomes of robot-assisted electrode insertion in cochlear implantation. We first reported the case of robot-assisted electrode insertion of cochlear implantation in October 2019. A new slim electrode array of Nurotron co...

Deep learning models to remix music for cochlear implant users.

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
The severe hearing loss problems that some people suffer can be treated by providing them with a surgically implanted electrical device called cochlear implant (CI). CI users struggle to perceive complex audio signals such as music; however, previous...

Deep Learning-Based Noise Reduction Approach to Improve Speech Intelligibility for Cochlear Implant Recipients.

Ear and hearing
OBJECTIVE: We investigate the clinical effectiveness of a novel deep learning-based noise reduction (NR) approach under noisy conditions with challenging noise types at low signal to noise ratio (SNR) levels for Mandarin-speaking cochlear implant (CI...

[The application of artificial neural network on the assessment of lexical tone production of pediatric cochlear implant users].

Zhonghua er bi yan hou tou jing wai ke za zhi = Chinese journal of otorhinolaryngology head and neck surgery
The present study was carried out to explore the tone production ability of the Mandarin-speaking children with cochlear implants (CI) by using an artificial neural network model and to examine the potential contributing factors underlining their to...
