Solution to 'cocktail party problem' could help people with hearing loss
79% Informative
A new algorithm could improve how hearing aids tackle the cocktail party problem.
The "biologically oriented sound segregation algorithm" (BOSSA) draws inspiration from the brain's auditory system.
BOSSA's "bottom up" approach can help people focus on speech coming from a predetermined location, but in real life, people rapidly shift their attention to different conversations.
Zeng added that BOSSA may require further refining as it is studied in more-realistic scenarios.
The researchers plan to test the algorithm in proper hearing aids, rather than headphones.
They also hope to develop a steering mechanism to help users direct the algorithm's focus.
