  • Methods and systems implementing phonologically-trained computer-assisted hearing aids
    Patent number: 11856369
    Abstract: A hearing aid system presents a hearing impaired user with customized enhanced intelligibility sound in a preferred language. The system includes a model trained with a set of source speech data representing sampling from a speech population relevant to the user. The model is also trained with a set of corresponding alternative articulation of source data, pre-defined or algorithmically constructed during an interactive session with the user. The model creates a set of selected target speech training data from the set of alternative articulation data that is preferred by the user as being satisfactorily intelligible and clear. The system includes a machine learning model, trained to shift incoming source speech data to a preferred variant of the target data that the hearing aid system presents to the user.

  • Audio scene encoder, audio scene decoder and related methods using hybrid encoder-decoder spatial analysis
    Patent number: 11854560
    Abstract: An audio scene encoder for encoding an audio scene, the audio scene having at least two component signals, has: a core encoder for core encoding the at least two component signals, wherein the core encoder is configured to generate a first encoded representation for a first portion of the at least two component signals, and to generate a second encoded representation for a second portion of the at least two component signals, a spatial analyzer for analyzing the audio scene to derive one or more spatial parameters or one or more spatial parameter sets for the second portion; and an output interface for forming the encoded audio scene signal, the encoded audio scene signal having the first encoded representation, the second encoded representation, and the one or more spatial parameters or one or more spatial parameter sets for the second portion.
