Model-Guided Design of Low-Context Speech Probes for Cochlear Synaptopathy
Ahsan J. Cheema, David Meng, Jorge Mejia +2
Cochlear neural degeneration (CND) can impair suprathreshold coding without elevating pure-tone thresholds, complicating its diagnosis when it coexists with hair cell loss. We pres…
Neck-Learn: Attention-Based Multiple Instance Learning and Ensemble Framework for Ecological Momentary Assessment
Ahsan Jamal Cheema
Vocal hyperfunction (VH) is a prevalent voice disorder whose ambulatory detection remains challenging despite extensive daily voice data. Prior approaches capture week-long neck-su…
Utilizing Information Theoretic Approach to Study Cochlear Neural Degeneration
Ahsan J. Cheema, Sunil Puria
Hidden hearing loss, or cochlear neural degeneration (CND), disrupts suprathreshold auditory coding without affecting clinical thresholds, making it difficult to diagnose. We prese…
Using Neurogram Similarity Index Measure (NSIM) to Model Hearing Loss and Cochlear Neural Degeneration
Ahsan J. Cheema, Sunil Puria
Trouble hearing in noisy situations remains a common complaint for both individuals with hearing loss and individuals with normal hearing. This is hypothesized to arise due to cond…
