Project A5 - Model-based diagnostics and hearing aid fitting in complex acoustic scenarios

The long-term goal of this project is to establish a model-based theory-driven framework for internationally compatible hearing diagnostics and rehabilitation in real life-matched scenarios. In order to close the gap between the laboratory and real life conditions this project will focus on the extension of patient performance measurements by including audio and audio-visual measurements in acoustically complex scenes simulating dynamic real life scenarios.

Moreover, to make selection and fitting of hearing devices in a more theory and controlled manner, a theory-driven model-based approach based on automatic speech recognition system will be applied. This knowledge will be used for better individualization of hearing aid settings.
