Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if artificial intelligence- based noise reduction can offer objective improvement in hearing and speech perception for hearing impaired patients.

Conditions

• Hearing Loss

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	DEEPSONIC™ Deep Sound Optimized Neural Integrated Chip Artificial intelligence-based noise reduction	Participants with hearing loss will be fitted with the Phonak Audéo Sphere™ Infinio (PAI) hearing aid with artificial intelligence (AI)-based noise reduction, which incorporates deep neural networks (DNN) technology to reduce background noise. Speech stimuli, presented at a comfortable level of approximately 60 dB SPL (like normal conversation), will be delivered via a loudspeaker positioned directly in front of the participant. They will be tested in 3 listening environments: quiet, moderate noise, high noise. Speech perception scores will be measured as a function of each hearing aid program setting: quiet setting, moderate noise, and advanced AI-based reduction for high noise.
