Abstract
A hearing aid system presents a hearing impaired user with customized enhanced intelligibility sound in a preferred language. The system includes a model trained with a set of source speech data representing sampling from a speech population relevant to the user. The model is also trained with a set of corresponding alternative articulation of source data, pre-defined or algorithmically constructed during an interactive session with the user. The model creates a set of selected target speech training data from the set of alternative articulation data that is preferred by the user as being satisfactorily intelligible and clear. The system includes a machine learning model, trained to shift incoming source speech data to a preferred variant of the target data that the hearing aid system presents to the user.
