Cognitively Inspired Feature Extraction and Speech Recognition for Automated Hearing Loss Testing

Abstract: This paper presents a novel idea that automatically identifies hearing impairment based on a cognitively-inspired feature extraction and speech recognition approach. To the best of our knowledge, this is a first attempt to automate pure tone and speech audiometry testing. Background: Hearing loss, a partial or total inability to hear, is one of the most commonly reported disabilities. A hearing test can be carried out by the audiologist to assess the patient's auditory system. However, this procedure normally … Show more

“…It is worth to mention that, there are lots of studies published using machine learning and deep learning for different tasks such as natural language processing [12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20], speech enhancement [21,22,23,24,25,26,27], cyber-security [28], fall detection [29,30,31,32,33,34] and etc.…”

“…The implementation of a robust CNN model requires the sequence of layers (e.g., convolution, pooling, non-linear transformation, fully connected layers, filters parameters, and loss function formulation) to be defined and, more significantly, requires the use of optimization methods and parameterization [ 41 , 42 ] to improve efficiency. Several techniques were proposed to address overfitting of the DL networks training process, including dropout and batch normalization, and this process has been used to enhance generalization accuracy [ 43 , 44 , 45 ]. In the case of deep neural network architectures with a number of parameters, overfitting is considered a significant drawback [ 28 ].…”

“…Researchers have also applied it to areas such as news, politics, sport, etc. For example, in online political debates, sentiment analysis can be used to identify people’s opinions about a certain candidate or political party [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 ]. However, sentiment analysis has been widely used for the English language using traditional and advanced machine learning techniques, and limited research has been conducted to develop models for the Persian language [ 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ].…”
