A model of speech recognition for hearing-impaired listeners based on deep learning.

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
Automatic speech recognition (ASR) has made major progress based on deep machine learning, which motivated the use of deep neural networks (DNNs) as perception models and specifically to predict human speech recognition (HSR). This study investigates...

An effectively causal deep learning algorithm to increase intelligibility in untrained noises for hearing-impaired listeners.

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
Real-time operation is critical for noise reduction in hearing technology. The essential requirement of real-time operation is causality-that an algorithm does not use future time-frame information and, instead, completes its operation by the end of ...

[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...

A talker-independent deep learning algorithm to increase intelligibility for hearing-impaired listeners in reverberant competing talker conditions.

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
Deep learning based speech separation or noise reduction needs to generalize to voices not encountered during training and to operate under multiple corruptions. The current study provides such a demonstration for hearing-impaired (HI) listeners. Sen...

A Comparative Study of Features for Acoustic Cough Detection Using Deep Architectures.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Automatic cough detection is key to tracking the condition of patients suffering from tuberculosis. We evaluate various acoustic features for performing cough detection using deep architectures. As most previous studies have adopted features designed...

An algorithm to increase intelligibility for hearing-impaired listeners in the presence of a competing talker.

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
Individuals with hearing impairment have particular difficulty perceptually segregating concurrent voices and understanding a talker in the presence of a competing voice. In contrast, individuals with normal hearing perform this task quite well. This...
