Hearing4all.connects: The goal of this Cluster of Excellence is to eliminate the negative effects of hearing loss on individuals by providing accessible and affordable, efficient and effective technical hearing solutions for everyone. Our contribution is to develop models of speech perception that can predict how well speech is understood in background noise. Such models could be used to fast prototyping of next-gen hearing aids.
