Hearables for Online Learning [PDF]
International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2018 Hearables are wireless smart micro-computers with artificial intelligence that incorporate both speakers and microphones. They fit in the ears and can connect to the Internet and to other devices; they are designed to be worn daily. One form of specialised hearables are the earphone language translators that offer potential in language teaching.

Consumer and audiologist perspectives on hearables: a qualitative study
International Journal of AudiologyWe aimed to explore (i) what adults with hearing difficulties want and need from hearables, which we defined as any non-medical personal sound amplification product, and (ii) what hearing care professionals think about hearables. This was an exploratory, qualitative study conducted using separate focus groups with adults with hearing difficulties and ...

Hearables: In-Ear Multimodal Data Fusion for Robust Heart Rate Estimation
BioMedInformaticsBackground: Ambulatory heart rate (HR) monitors that acquire electrocardiogram (ECG) or/and photoplethysmographm (PPG) signals from the torso, wrists, or ears are notably less accurate in tasks associated with high levels of movement compared to clinical

Low-Complexity Own Voice Reconstruction for Hearables with an In-Ear Microphone
ICASSP 2025 - 2025 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP)Hearable devices, equipped with one or more microphones, are commonly used for speech communication. Here, we consider the scenario where a hearable is used to capture the user's own voice in a noisy environment. In this scenario, own voice reconstruction (OVR) is essential for enhancing the quality and intelligibility of the recorded noisy own voice ...
