Unlocking bio-inspired machine hearing and accelerating personalized hearing technologies
As the hearing loss epidemic grows due to an aging population and increasing exposure to urban and recreational noise, the demand for accessible, personalized audio solutions has become more urgent. At the same time, the limitations of speech- and audio-driven systems, such as speech recognition and robotics, are becoming clear. These systems struggle in noisy environments, and consumer electronics for speech and music lack adaptation to individual hearing impairments. To address these challenges, the InSilicoEars project aims to transform hearing loss diagnostics, treatments, and machine-learning-based audio applications by leveraging the unique properties of human auditory processing.…
