Pulse Audition: Leveraging DNN-Based Speech Enhancement for Improved Communication in Assistive Listening Devices
![](https://ccrma.stanford.edu/sites/default/files/imagecache/thumbnail/user/rmichon/untitled_1.jpg)
This talk explores the evolution of Deep Neural Network (DNN) based approaches in speech enhancement and source separation. Beginning with a historical overview, it traces the progression from traditional methods to the current state-of-the-art techniques. Emphasizing the persistent challenge of speech intelligibility in noisy environments, the discussion transitions to the contemporary issue of inadequate performance in conventional hearing aids. The approach adopted by Pulse Audition of integrating DNN-based technologies into hearing assistance systems is then highlighted, presenting a promising avenue for significantly enhancing communication for individuals with hearing impairments.
Lloyd May on Audio Processing Strategies to Enhance Cochlear Implant Users' Music Enjoyment

Cochlear implants are a brutal solution to a hard problem. How do you electrically stimulate the auditory system to convey sound to people who are otherwise deaf? They work well enough to allow people to understand speech. It's really quite remarkable. But what about music? What might we do to encode music so that people with cochlear implants can enjoy it?
Who: Lloyd May (CCRMA)
What: Designing Audio Processing Strategies to Enhance Cochlear Implant Users' Music Enjoyment

In a special performance at Stanford University, Luigi Nono's La lontananza nostalgica utopica futura will be presented by violinist Marco Fusi and Patricia Alessandrini, who will perform the electronics. They will also perform their own homage to Nono, in the form of a brief improvised prelude, entitled Proximity, distance. This performance and its prelude were developed during a residency at the Curtis R. Priem Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center (EMPAC).
