More Information

Recent advances in machine learning, digital signal processing (DSP), and edge AI have enabled groundbreaking solutions for both hearing aids and next-generation hearables. Low-power AI models now provide real-time speech enhancement on hearing aids, hearables, and earbuds, while wireless connectivity allows cloud-assisted processing without sacrificing battery life. Additionally, speech separation, statistical speech modeling, and acoustic scene analysis are being integrated into consumer listening devices, enhancing speech intelligibility in noisy environments.

The Clarity Workshop brings together researchers, engineers, and industry professionals working at the intersection of speech processing, auditory perception, and assistive technology. Whether your focus is on traditional hearing aids, hearables, or AI-powered speech enhancement, we invite you to join the discussion on the next generation of speech-in-noise solutions.

Topics:
We welcome any work related to speech-in-noise processing for hearing enhancement devices, including (but not limited to) the following areas:
- Binaural technology for speech enhancement and source separation
- Multi-microphone processing techniques
- Real-time and low-latency approaches to speech enhancement
- Statistical model-driven approaches to hearing aid processing
- Machine learning approaches for personalising amplification
- Machine learning models of hearing impairment
- DNN-based speech enhancement under model size and low power constraints
- Audio quality and intelligibility assessment for hearing aid, cochlear implant, and hearable users
- Efficient integration of psychoacoustic testing in machine learning

The 3rd Clarity Prediction Challenge:
Clarity-2025 will host the 3rd Clarity Prediction Challenge, focused on developing innovative intrusive and non-intrusive methods for predicting hearing-aid speech intelligibility. The Challenge launches on 1st March. If you’re interested in participating, please sign up for our Google group to receive further updates.
