  • Patent number: 11910163
    Abstract: A signal processing device for processing audio signals is described. The signal processing device has an input interface for receiving an input signal and an output interface for outputting an output signal. Moreover, the signal processing device has at least one first neural network for conditioning the input signal and at least one second neural network for separating one or more audio signals from the input signal. The at least one first neural network and the at least one second neural network are arranged sequentially.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11832058
    Abstract: A hearing device system and the method for processing audio signals are described. The hearing device system has at least one hearing device having a recording device for recording an input signal, at least one neural network for separating at least one audio signal from the input signal and a playback device for playing back an output signal ascertained from the at least audio signal. A calibration device is connected to the at least one hearing device in the data-transmitting manner. The at least one neural network is customizable and/or replaceable by the calibration device.

  • Patent number: 11792580
    Abstract: A hearing device (2) comprises a recording unit (5) for recording an input signal (I), an audio processing unit (6) for determining an output signal (O) and a playback unit (7) for playing back the output signal (O) to a user (U). The audio processing unit (6) comprises a neural network (8) for separating a user voice signal (u) from the input signal (I). Further, a system (1) and a method for processing audio signals are described.

  • Publication number: 20220093118
    Abstract: A signal processing device for processing audio signals is described. The signal processing device has an input interface for receiving an input signal and an output interface for outputting an output signal. Moreover, the signal processing device has at least one neural network for separating one or more audio signals from the input signal. The number of audio signals separated from the input signal by using the at least one neural network is variable.
