Widex Inc announced that Widex MySound, a portfolio of AI features that enable intelligent customization of Widex MOMENT hearing aids, has been recognized as a winner in the third annual Hearing Technology Innovator Awards.
Researchers at the UPV/EHU-University of the Basque Country show that the distortion metrics used to detect intentional perturbations in audio signals are not a reliable measure of human perception, and have proposed a series of improvements. These perturbations in audio signals, designed to be imperceptible, can be used to cause erroneous predictions in artificial intelligence (AI).
In underwater acoustics, deep learning is gaining traction in improving sonar systems to detect ships and submarines in distress or in restricted waters. However, noise interference from the complex marine environment becomes a challenge when attempting to detect targeted ship-radiated sounds.
The article identifies three “game-changing hearing innovations” poised to take the hearing world by storm.
