A multi-task learning framework is proposed for optimizing a single deep neural network (DNN) for joint noise reduction (NR) and hearing loss compensation (HLC). A distinct training objective is defined for each task, and the DNN predicts…

Deep learning-based hearing loss compensation (HLC) seeks to enhance speech intelligibility and quality for hearing impaired listeners using neural networks. One major challenge of HLC is the lack of a ground-truth target. Recent works have…

Deep-neural-network (DNN) based noise suppression systems yield significant improvements over conventional approaches such as spectral subtraction and non-negative matrix factorization, but do not generalize well to noise conditions they…

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…

The mapping from sound to neural activity that underlies hearing is highly non-linear. The first few stages of this mapping in the cochlea have been modelled successfully, with biophysical models built by hand and, more recently, with DNN…
