Restoring speech intelligibility for hearing aid users with deep learning

Yeah, same problem for me and that’s a pity because the noise reduction algorithm works really well. But the lag is like 1 second…

On AI noise-removal solutions that rely on using a smartphone microphone, even if the latency issue were solved, I wouldn’t want to expose my very expensive smartphone to the risk of dropping it while waving it around or having food or drink splashed over it if laid on a restaurant table. I’d much prefer a AI solution that could work through hearing aids if that were possible. Even though an AI noise-removal solution might be able to work through just one pickup mic, I would think AI noise removal would be even better if it could employ directional sound from the beam-forming possible with HA’s as a starter.

If latency is eliminated I envision the hearing aids being stripped down to just microphones and bluetooth radios and AI enhanced speech processing taking place in a super powerful phone.

I hope I live long enough to benefit. We may not have many flying cars but we’ve got Flash Gordon watches and totally take for granted the wonders that we already carry around.

They are more firm when unripe.
