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 ...

Brazilian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology, 2007 Aging is a natural consequence of a society developing process. The city of São Paulo has almost one million people who are above sixty years of age. Age-related hearing loss equals the total hearing loss resulted from cell degeneration caused by noise exposure, ototoxic agents and the loss caused by disorders and medical treatments.To study age ...

HASA-net: A non-intrusive hearing-aid speech assessment network [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Without the need of a clean reference, non-intrusive speech assessment methods have caught great attention for objective evaluations. Recently, deep neural network (DNN) models have been applied to build non-intrusive speech assessment approaches and confirmed to provide promising performance.

Effect of tinnitus on sound localization ability in patients with normal hearing
Brazilian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology, 2023 Objectives: To determine whether tinnitus negatively impacts the accuracy of sound source localization in participants with normal hearing. Methods: Seventy-five participants with tinnitus and 74 without tinnitus were enrolled in this study. The accuracy

Effect of N‐acetyl‐cysteine treatment on sensorineural hearing loss: a meta‐analysis
World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, 2022 N‐acetyl‐cysteine (NAC) is an efficacious treatment for sensorineural hearing loss in animal models, such as noise‐induced hearing loss (NIHL), however previous research into the effect of NAC on patients with hearing loss produced contradictory results.

Dynamic Processing Neural Network Architecture For Hearing Loss Compensation [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 This paper proposes neural networks for compensating sensorineural hearing loss. The aim of the hearing loss compensation task is to transform a speech signal to increase speech intelligibility after further processing by a person with a hearing impairment, which is modeled by a hearing loss model.
