OBJECTIVE: Pure tone audiometry has played a critical role in audiology as the initial diagnostic tool, offering vital insights for subsequent analyses. This study aims to develop a robust deep learning framework capable of accurately classifying aud...
BACKGROUND: Hearing impairment (HI) has become a major public health issue in China. Currently, due to the limitations of primary health care, the gold standard for HI diagnosis (pure-tone hearing test) is not suitable for large-scale use in communit...

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...
OBJECTIVE: Childhood hearing loss has well-known, lifelong consequences. Infection-related hearing loss disproportionately affects underserved communities yet can be prevented with early identification and treatment. This study evaluates the utility ...
Listeners with hearing loss often struggle to understand speech in noise, even with a hearing aid. To better understand the auditory processing deficits that underlie this problem, we made large-scale brain recordings from gerbils, a common animal mo...

Cleft palate is associated with a high prevalence of middle ear dysfunction, even after palatal repair. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of robot-enhanced soft palate closure on middle ear functioning. This retrospective study compar...
Diagnostic tests for hearing impairment not only determines the presence (or absence) of hearing loss, but also evaluates its degree and type, and provides physicians with essential data for future treatment and rehabilitation. Therefore, accurately ...
Hearing loss is a common neurodegenerative disease that can start at any stage of life. Misalignment of the auditory neural impairment may impose challenges in processing incoming auditory stimulus that can be measured using electroencephalography (E...
A reliable identification of a high-risk state for upcoming seizures may allow for preemptive treatment and improve the quality of patients' lives. We evaluated the ability of prodromal symptoms to predict preictal states using a machine learning (ML...
