Integrating audiological datasets via federated merging of Auditory Profiles

Samira Saak, Dirk Oetting, Birger Kollmeier +1

Audiological datasets contain valuable knowledge about hearing loss in patients, which can be uncovered using data-driven, federated learning techniques. Our previous approach summ…

Assessing Rate limits Using Behavioral and Neural Responses of Interaural-Time-Difference Cues in Fine-Structure and Envelope

Hongmei Hu, Stephan Ewert, Birger Kollmeier +1

The objective was to determine the effect of pulse rate on the sensitivity to use interaural-time-difference (ITD) cues and to explore the mechanisms behind rate-dependent degradat…

Individualized sound pressure equalization in hearing devices exploiting an electro-acoustic model

Henning Schepker, Reinhild Rohden, Florian Denk +3

To improve sound quality in hearing devices, the hearing device output should be appropriately equalized. To achieve optimal individualized equalization typically requires knowledg…

Robust single- and multi-loudspeaker least-squares-based equalization for hearing devices

Henning Schepker, Florian Denk, Birger Kollmeier +1

To improve the sound quality of hearing devices, equalization filters can be used that aim at achieving acoustic transparency, i.e., listening with the device in the ear is percept…

DARF: A data-reduced FADE version for simulations of speech recognition thresholds with real hearing aids

David Hülsmeier, Marc René Schädler, Birger Kollmeier

Developing and selecting hearing aids is a time consuming process which is simplified by using objective models. Previously, the framework for auditory discrimination experiments (…
