An exemplary computing device includes a memory storing instructions; and a processor communicatively coupled to the memory and configured to execute the instructions to perform a process. The process may comprise identifying a hearing profile of a user of a hearing device; providing audio content as an input to a machine learning model; generating modified audio content by adjusting a characteristic of the audio content based on an output of the machine learning model and the hearing profile of the user of the hearing device; and transmitting the modified audio content to the hearing device.

Computing devices and methods for processing audio content for transmission to a hearing device

Methods, hearing systems and neural networks for audio signal processing are described. A hearing system comprises a neural network. An input audio signal is processed into an output audio signal at least partially by means of a processing unit of the hearing system. The audio signal processing of the input audio signal includes executing audio signal processing by the neural network for performing a step of the audio signal processing, determining a confidence parameter resembling the reliability of the audio signal processing by the neural network and steering the audio signal processing in dependence of the confidence parameter. A particularly suitable neural network is configured to solve a regression-based acoustic processing task and additionally determining the confidence parameter.

An exemplary system includes a memory storing instructions and one or more processors communicatively coupled to the memory and configured to execute the instructions to perform a process comprising: accessing fitting data representative of fitting parameters set by a fitting application to fit a hearing device to a user; determining user behavior data indicative of a hearing intention of the user in an auditory scene where the user is located; determining auditory scene data representative of information about the auditory scene; and implementing, based on the fitting data, the user behavior data, and the auditory scene data, a sound processing delay scheme for use by the hearing device.
