Digital speech hearing screening using a quick novel mobile hearing impairment assessment: an observational correlation study [PDF]
By 2050, 1 in 4 people worldwide will be living with hearing impairment. We propose a digital Speech Hearing Screener (dSHS) using short nonsense word recognition to measure speech-hearing ability. The importance of hearing screening is increasing due to

A Neural-Network Framework for the Design of Individualised Hearing-Loss Compensation [PDF]
Sound processing in the human auditory system is complex and highly non-linear, whereas hearing aids (HAs) still rely on simplified descriptions of auditory processing or hearing loss to restore hearing. Even though standard HA amplification strategies succeed in restoring audibility of faint sounds, they still fall short of providing targeted ...
