Detection of cochlear hearing loss applying wavelet packets and support vector machines [PDF]
The aim of this paper is to evaluate the application of the wavelet packet transform (WP) and support vector machines (SVM) to transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAE) in order to achieve a detection of frequency-specific hearing loss. We introduce

Optimising Hearing Aid Fittings for Speech in Noise with a Differentiable Hearing Loss Model [PDF]
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 ...
