Optimising Hearing Aid Fittings for Speech in Noise with a Differentiable Hearing Loss Model [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Current hearing aids normally provide amplification based on a general prescriptive fitting, and the benefits provided by the hearing aids vary among different listening environments despite the inclusion of noise suppression feature. Motivated by this fact, this paper proposes a data-driven machine learning technique to develop hearing aid fittings ...
