Cochlear implants (CIs) provide a solution for individuals with severe sensorineural hearing loss to regain their hearing abilities. When someone experiences this form of hearing impairment in both ears, they may be equipped with two…
Speaker recognition is a biometric modality that uses underlying speech information to determine the identity of the speaker. Speaker Identification (SID) under noisy conditions is one of the challenging topics in the field of speech…
Deep learning has the potential to enhance speech signals and increase their intelligibility for users of hearing aids. Deep models suited for real-world application should feature a low computational complexity and low processing delay of…
Cochlear implants(CIs) are arguably the most successful neural implant, having restored hearing to over one million people worldwide. While CI research has focused on modeling the cochlear activations in response to low-level acoustic…
Automatic speech recognition (ASR) plays a pivotal role in our daily lives, offering utility not only for interacting with machines but also for facilitating communication for individuals with partial or profound hearing impairments. The…
Speech separation approaches for single-channel, dry speech mixtures have significantly improved. However, real-world spatial and reverberant acoustic environments remain challenging, limiting the effectiveness of these approaches for…
We propose a brain-informed speech separation method for cochlear implants (CIs) that uses electroencephalography (EEG)-derived attention cues to guide enhancement toward the attended speaker. An attention-guided network fuses audio…
In multi speakers environments, cochlear implant (CI) users may attend to a target sound source in a different manner from the normal hearing (NH) individuals during a conversation. This study attempted to investigate the effect of…
Studies have shown that in noisy acoustic environments, providing binaural signals to the user of an assistive listening device may improve speech intelligibility and spatial awareness. This paper presents a binaural speech enhancement…
Cochlear implants (CIs) have been developed to the point where they can restore hearing and speech understanding in a large proportion of patients. Although spatial hearing is central to controlling and directing attention and to enabling…
Cochlear implants (CIs) are devices that restore the sense of hearing in people with severe sensorineural hearing loss. An electrode array inserted in the cochlea bypasses the natural transducer mechanism that transforms mechanical sound…
STOI-optimal masking has been previously proposed and developed for single-channel speech enhancement. In this paper, we consider the extension to the task of binaural speech enhancement in which spatial information is known to be important…
Speech Enhancement (SE) systems typically operate on monaural input and are used for applications including voice communications and capture cleanup for user generated content. Recent advancements and changes in the devices used for these…
Recently, the end-to-end training approach for neural beamformer-supported multi-channel ASR has shown its effectiveness in multi-channel speech recognition. However, the integration of multiple modules makes it more difficult to perform…
Single-switch scanning systems allow nonspeaking individuals with motor disabilities to communicate by triggering a single switch (e.g., raising an eye brow). A problem with current single-switch scanning systems is that while they result…
Speech perception is key to verbal communication. For people with hearing loss, the capability to recognize speech is restricted, particularly in a noisy environment or the situations without visual cues, such as lip-reading unavailable via…
We consider speech enhancement for signals picked up in one noisy environment that must be rendered to a listener in another noisy environment. For both far-end noise reduction and near-end listening enhancement, it has been shown that…
When the parameters of Bayesian Short-time Spectral Amplitude (STSA) estimator for speech enhancement are selected based on the characteristics of the human auditory system, the gain function of the estimator becomes more flexible. Although…
Given rising numbers of bilateral cochlear implant (CI) users, predominantly children, there is a clinical need for efficient and reliable tests that can objectively evaluate binaural hearing. These tests are crucial for guiding the setup…
Text-to-speech and co-speech gesture synthesis have until now been treated as separate areas by two different research communities, and applications merely stack the two technologies using a simple system-level pipeline. This can lead to…
