Deep learning-based denoising streamed from mobile phones improves speech-in-noise understanding for hearing aid users [PDF]
The hearing loss of almost half a billion people is commonly treated with hearing aids. However, current hearing aids often do not work well in real-world noisy environments. We present a deep learning based denoising system that runs in real time on iPhone 7 and Samsung Galaxy S10 (25ms algorithmic latency).
