There is growing interest in using neuroimaging to understanding listening effort in individuals with hearing loss, with a particular focus on how innovative hearing aid features impact listening effort. This study used functional near infrared spect...
Sign language (SL) is a significant communication method for individuals with hearing impairments, using hand gestures to convey letters, words, and sentences. However, several people are unfamiliar with SL, creating a communication gap. An intellige...
One of the tenets of a posthuman vision is the eradication of disability through technology. Within this site of 'no future', as Alison Kafer describes, the disabled body is merged with artificial intelligence technology or transformed into a prosthe...

OBJECTIVE: To compare fall risk scores of hearing aids embedded with inertial measurement units (IMU-HAs) and powered by artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms with scores by trained observers.
In recent years, Lip-reading has emerged as a significant research challenge. The aim is to recognise speech by analysing Lip movements. The majority of Lip-reading technologies are based on cameras and wearable devices. However, these technologies h...
OBJECTIVE: Employing automated language analysis, specifically Meaning Extraction Method (MEM) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA), to identify key factors in open-text responses about hearing aid experiences.
This study develops a deep learning (DL) method for fast auditory attention decoding (AAD) using electroencephalography (EEG) from listeners with hearing impairment (HI). It addresses three classification tasks: differentiating noise from speech-in-n...

OBJECTIVE: Although many speech enhancement (SE) algorithms have been proposed to promote speech perception in hearing-impaired patients, the conventional SE approaches that perform well under quiet and/or stationary noises fail under nonstationary n...
Almost half a billion people world-wide suffer from disabling hearing loss. While hearing aids can partially compensate for this, a large proportion of users struggle to understand speech in situations with background noise. Here, we present a deep l...
Ear molding therapy is a nonsurgical technique to correct certain congenital auricular deformities. While the advantages of nonsurgical treatments over otoplasty are well-described, few studies have assessed aesthetic outcomes. In this study, we comp...
