Abstract:The hearing loss of almost half a billion people is commonly treated with hearing aids. However, current hearing aids often do not work well in real-world noisy environments. We present a deep learning based denoising system that runs in real time on iPhone 7 and Samsung Galaxy S10 (25 ms algorithmic latency). The denoised audio is streamed to the hearing aid, resulting in a total delay of around 65–75 ms, depending on the phone. In tests with hearing aid users having moderate to severe hearing loss, our denoi… Show more
