Multi-objective Non-intrusive Hearing-aid Speech Assessment Model [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Without the need for a clean reference, non-intrusive speech assessment methods have caught great attention for objective evaluations. While deep learning models have been used to develop non-intrusive speech assessment methods with promising results, there is limited research on hearing-impaired subjects.
