Prioritizing research on over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids for age-related hearing loss
Frontiers in Aging, 2023 Hearing aids are the most commonly used treatment for people with age-related hearing loss, however, hearing aid uptake is low, primarily due to high cost of the device, stigma, and a lack of perceived need.

Hearing loss and cognition: the role of hearing AIDS, social isolation and depression.
PLoS ONE, 2015 Hearing loss is associated with poor cognitive performance and incident dementia and may contribute to cognitive decline. Treating hearing loss with hearing aids may ameliorate cognitive decline.

TinyLSTMs: Efficient Neural Speech Enhancement for Hearing Aids [PDF]
Interspeech, 2020 Modern speech enhancement algorithms achieve remarkable noise suppression by means of large recurrent neural networks (RNNs). However, large RNNs limit practical deployment in hearing aid hardware (HW) form-factors, which are battery powered and run on ...

The effect of hearing aids on cognitive function: A systematic review
PLoS ONE, 2021 Rationale Dementia currently affects 50 million people globally with this expected to triple by 2050. Even though hearing loss is associated with cognitive decline, the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood.
