Towards Investigating Residual Hearing Loss: Quantification of Fibrosis in a Novel Cochlear OCT Dataset.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: Cochlear implants (CIs) are bionic prostheses that restores hearing via electrical stimulation of the auditory nerve. Hybrid CIs, which use electroacoustic stimulation (EAS), combine residual low-frequency acoustic hearing with CI electric...

CNNs improve decoding of selective attention to speech in cochlear implant users.

Journal of neural engineering
. Understanding speech in the presence of background noise such as other speech streams is a difficult problem for people with hearing impairment, and in particular for users of cochlear implants (CIs). To improve their listening experience, auditory...

Leveraging Deep Learning to Enhance Optical Microphone System Performance with Unknown Speakers for Cochlear Implants.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Cochlear implants (CI) play a crucial role in restoring hearing for individuals with profound-to-severe hearing loss. However, challenges persist, particularly in low signal-to-noise ratios and distant talk scenarios. This study introduces an innovat...

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...
