  • Publication number: 20240144937
    Abstract: A method, system and product includes capturing a noisy audio signal from an environment of a user, a plurality of people is located in the environment, the user having a mobile device used for obtaining user input, the user having at least one hearable device used for providing audio output to the user; applying speech separation on the noisy audio signal to obtain a separate audio signal that represents a voice of an unidentified entity; estimating an identifier of the unidentified entity, thereby obtaining an estimated identifier of the unidentified entity; and prompting the user to confirm or decline the estimated identifier.

  • Publication number: 20240135951
    Abstract: A method, system and product includes displaying to a user, via a mobile device, a map view depicting locations of at least a portion of a plurality of people relative to a location of the user, wherein the user and the plurality of people are located in an environment, the user having the mobile device used for obtaining user input, the user having a hearable device used for providing audio output to the user; receiving, via the mobile device, an activation selection of a target person from the map view; capturing a noisy audio signal from the environment; processing the noisy audio signal by applying speech separation on the target person, whereby generating an enhanced audio signal; and outputting to the user via the hearable device the enhanced audio signal.

  • Publication number: 20240127843
    Abstract: A method, system and product includes obtaining a first activation selection of a first person in an environment of a user, the environment comprising the first person and a second person, the user having a mobile device and a hearable device; capturing a first signal from the environment; applying speech separation on the first signal to extract a first audio signal associated with the first person; outputting to the user via the hearable device, a first output signal comprising the first audio signal; obtaining a second activation selection of the second person; capturing a second signal from the environment; applying speech separation on the second signal to extract a second audio signal associated with the second person; and outputting to the user, via the hearable device, a second output signal comprising the second audio signal.

  • Publication number: 20240127850
    Abstract: A method, system and product includes capturing a noisy audio signal from an environment of a user in which a plurality of people participate in a conversation, the plurality of people comprising a person, the noisy audio signal includes audio emitted by a non-human object and audio emitted by the person; applying speech separation on the noisy audio signal to obtain a separate audio signal that represents a sound-of-interest, the separate audio signal is based on the audio emitted by the non-human object; generating an enhanced audio signal based on the separate audio signal, wherein said generating comprises ensuring that the separate audio signal is present in the enhanced audio signal; and outputting the enhanced audio signal to the user via at least one hearable device.

  • Patent number: 11929087
    Abstract: Systems and methods for amplifying and/or attenuating audio signals are disclosed. In one implementation, a system for selectively amplifying audio signals may include at least one microphone for capturing sounds from an environment of the user and a processor. The processor may be programmed to receive an audio signal representative of sounds captured by the at least one microphone; determine whether the audio signal comprises speech by a user of the system; subject to the audio signal comprising speech by the user, modify the audio signal by attenuating a first part of the audio signal comprising the speech by the user; subject to the audio signal comprising audio other than speech by the user, modify the audio signal by amplifying a second part of the audio signal comprising audio other than the speech by the user; and transmit the modified audio signal to a hearing interface device.

  • Patent number: 11736874
    Abstract: A hearing aid and related systems and methods are disclosed. In one implementation, a system may comprise a microphone and a processor. The processor may be configured to receive an original audio signal representative of sounds captured by the microphone; determine that the original audio signal includes a voice of the user; process the original audio signal according to a first processing scheme to generate a first processed audio signal; transmit the first processed audio signal to a hearing interface device after a first time delay associated with the first processing scheme; determine that the original audio signal includes an additional sound; process the original audio signal according to a second processing scheme to generate a second processed audio signal; and transmit the second processed audio signal to the hearing interface device after a second time delay associated with the second processing scheme.
