VOICE CLASSIFICATION IN HEARING AID
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20250063312 titled 'VOICE CLASSIFICATION IN HEARING AID
Original Abstract Submitted
a processing system may receive reference audio data representing one or more voices and may generate, using a first machine learning (ml) model, an embedding of the reference audio data. the processing system receives live audio data representing sound detected by one or more microphones of a hearing instrument and may generate an input spectrogram of the live audio data. the processing system may use a second ml model to generate a masked spectrogram based on the embedding and the input spectrogram. the masked spectrogram represents a version of the live audio data in which portions of the live audio data spoken in the voices represented by the reference audio data are enhanced. the processing system may cause one or more receivers of the hearing instrument to output sound based on the masked spectrogram.
