A new smart cognitive hearing aid uses AI to determine which voice the wearer most wants to hear.
Developed by a team from Columbia University, the new hearing aid monitors the brain activity of the wearer, using their neural signals and the team’s new system to separate the different speakers and determine who the wearer is listening to. Once determined, the system automatically adjusts to raise the volume of the target speaker within ten seconds.
According to Nima Mesgarai, the leader of the study, “This work combines the state-of-the-art from two disciplines: speech engineering and auditory attention decoding. We were able to develop this system once we made the breakthrough in using deep neural network models to separate speech.”
