Single-ended prediction of listening effort using deep neural networks.

Hearing research
The effort required to listen to and understand noisy speech is an important factor in the evaluation of noise reduction schemes. This paper introduces a model for Listening Effort prediction from Acoustic Parameters (LEAP). The model is based on met...

From "ear" to there: a review of biorobotic models of auditory processing in lizards.

Biological cybernetics
The peripheral auditory system of lizards has been extensively studied, because of its remarkable directionality. In this paper, we review the research that has been performed on this system using a biorobotic approach. The various robotic implementa...

Endoscopic autologous cartilage injection for the patulous eustachian tube.

American journal of otolaryngology
Patulous eustachian tube (PET) can have a significant negative impact on a patient's quality of life. Several methods of surgical management can be an option to treat PET, and our objective is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of autologous cartila...

Fractionated stereotactic radiation therapy for vestibular schwannomas: Dosimetric factors predictive of hearing outcomes.

Practical radiation oncology
PURPOSE: To determine dosimetric factors predictive of hearing loss in vestibular schwannoma (VS) patients treated with definitive fractionated stereotactic radiation therapy (FSRT), and to report tumor control, serviceable hearing preservation, and ...

Machine learning-based prediction of hearing loss: Findings of the US NHANES from 2003 to 2018.

Hearing research
The prevalence of hearing loss (HL) has emerged as an escalating public health concern globally. The objective of this study was to leverage data from the National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (NHANES) to develop an interpretable predict...

Piezoelectric nanofiber-based intelligent hearing system.

Science advances
Hearing loss, affecting individuals of all ages, can impair education, social function, and quality of life. Current treatments, such as hearing aids and implants, aim to mitigate these effects but often fall short in addressing the critical issue of...

Using deep learning to improve the intelligibility of a target speaker in noisy multi-talker environments for people with normal hearing and hearing loss.

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
Understanding speech in noisy environments is a challenging task, especially in communication situations with several competing speakers. Despite their ongoing improvement, assistive listening devices and speech processing approaches still do not per...

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...

A Novel Speech Intelligibility Enhancement Model based on Canonical Correlation and Deep Learning.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Current deep learning (DL) based approaches to speech intelligibility enhancement in noisy environments are often trained to minimise the feature distance between noise-free speech and enhanced speech signals. Despite improving the speech quality, su...
