New research suggests deep neural network denoising can help hearing aid users maintain categorical perception of Mandarin tones in challenging listening environments.
A study of Widex’s Clarity Boost AI noise-reduction technology looked at whether preserving natural sound quality improved speech understanding in challenging noisy environments.
Phonak EON introduces WindBlock 2.0, a wind noise cancellation algorithm that goes beyond suppression to actively preserve speech when wind noise is present. It operates automatica...
Привет, Хабр! Мы — Александр Забурдаев, Ксения Золина, Даниил Марценюк, Илья Трофименко, Илья Кулешов — студенты мастерской по сервисам и платформам ИИ в Инженерно-математической ш...
Four advanced new features work together in EON: Spheric Speech Clarity 3.0, AutoSense OSâ„¢ AI 8.0, APD 4.0 and WindBlock 2.0. Together, they prioritize speech understanding and r...
Pre-emphasis and de-emphasis boost noise performance in FM, but only up to a point—push the gain too far and you risk overmodulation.
This is a lightning talk I did at PyCon US 2026: Silence is Golden. The overall message is to leave some quiet time so that reluctant speakers have a chance to participate. I star...
A company called Fortell made an A.I.-powered device that tries to tune out background noise in real time. Does it work? Ask Fortell’s test subject, Steve Martin.
Brown noise--deeper than white noise--is being called "audible Adderall" for its ability to quiet internal chatter and boost focus. Try the 12-million-view YouTube version while yo...
Noise-canceling headphones are facing new scrutiny after audiologists at five National Health Service departments in Britain reported seeing more young people who struggle to proce...
Anker is entering the hearing-aid market with the Anker RIC Hearing Aids, its first over-the-counter receiver-in-canal hearing aid for adults with perceived mild to moderate hearin...
I spent years immersed in noise. Sometimes it was deafeningly loud, like the crescendo of horns and two-stroke motorcycles during rush hour in Mumbai. Other times it was simply mad...
Live mixers and broadcast engineers often have to lift speech or singing out of rooms they do not control: a conference PA, a festival stage, a sports feed. Voxis is CEDAR Audio's...
Stanford researchers use background electrical noise as a signal to transmit data with up to 1,000 times less energy. Wireless communication typically requires a transmitter to gen...
Support here for the exposure method of learning. the Guardian – 13 Oct 26 Stop making sense: focus on sounds to help learn a language, study suggests...
A proof-of-concept AI system classified dysarthria severity in real-world recordings with 79% per-speaker F1 and showed strong agreement with two speech therapists.
Almost every conversation about observability budgets I have been in ultimately arrives at the same conclusion: “we need to reduce our telemetry volume.” That sentence is usually f...
Barge-in decides whether a caller can interrupt your agent. See how to test the stop, where the overlapping words go, and why echo leakage breaks the test.
Designed for broad compatibility across hearing aids and cochlear implants, the new device is made to automatically adapt to demanding listening environments to improve speech clar...
A new speaker uses metamaterials and ultrasound to beam audio towards individual listeners, reducing sound leakage while enabling personalised listening in shared spaces without he...
Barge-in is one interruption. Calls also drop, transfer and hand off mid-sentence. See how to test what survives when the session breaks rather than the turn.
While feedback lowers the FM detection threshold, it offers no noise advantage over conventional receivers when the carrier power is strong. Discover why in this discussion and mat...
