Noise reduction with AI: just marketing or a real benefit for hearing aid wearers?
Since the introduction of digital signal processing, hearing aids have been equipped with algorithms for noise suppression in order to support the hearing aid user in noise situations. However, these algorithms have only marginally improve the understanding of speech in noise.
The new Infinio hearing aid platform from Phonak features a system that filters the audio signal using artificial intelligence (neural network). This separates the useful signal from the interfering signal so effectively that not only reduces hearing effort, but also significantly improves speech intelligibility.
The practical benefits of this new system have been tested in clinical studies with a total of 50 test subjects. All test subjects were fitted with Audéo I90-Sphere and, depending on the clinical center, measurements were taken of speech comprehension and listening effort in complex acoustic situations and also in real-life environments.
The data shows that this new system provides both improved speech understanding
and reduced listening effort, especially in complex acoustic situations.
