Model-based diagnostics and hearing aid fitting in complex acoustic scenarios (A05)

• Subject Area: Acoustics
• Term: since 2018
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 352015383

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 perfor-mance 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 recogni-tion system will be applied. This knowledge will be used for better individualization of hearing aid settings.
