Phoneme-Based Ratio Mask Estimation for Reverberant Speech Enhancement in Cochlear Implant Processors [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Cochlear implant (CI) users have considerable difficulty in understanding speech in reverberant listening environments. Time-frequency (T-F) masking is a common technique that aims to improve speech intelligibility by multiplying reverberant speech by a matrix of gain values to suppress T-F bins dominated by reverberation.

Deciphering Auditory Hyperexcitability in Otogl Mutant Mice Unravels an Auditory Neuropathy Mechanism

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
By investigating auditory hyperexcitability in a mouse model for hereditary deafness, this study identified a subpopulation of afferent neurons of the auditory nerve marked by Otogl expression. Despite their apparently normal hearing, Otogl+/− mice display poor activation of afferent neurons processing loud sounds and an elevation of the middle the ear

Defining attention from an auditory perspective

WIREs Cognitive Science, Volume 14, Issue 1, January/February 2023., 2023
In settings with multiple sources, attention acts to mediate what object (estimate of an external, physical source) gets processed in detail. Attention depends on bottom‐up salience of the competing sources, top‐down volitional focus of the observer, and object‐based perceptual organization of the sensory inputs both over time and across different ...

Validation of image-guided cochlear implant programming techniques [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
Cochlear implants (CIs) are a standard treatment for patients who experience severe to profound hearing loss. Recent studies have shown that hearing outcome is correlated with intra-cochlear anatomy and electrode placement. Our group has developed image-guided CI programming (IGCIP) techniques that use image analysis methods to both segment the inner ...
