Abstract
A system includes a mobile device that receives an audio signal from a microphone of the mobile device. The mobile device processes the audio signal via a neural network to obtain a speech-enhanced audio signal. The system includes an ear-wearable device comprising a data interface operable to communicate with the external data interface of the mobile device. The ear-wearable device includes an audio processing path coupled to the data interface and is operable to receive the speech-enhanced audio signal and reproduce the speech-enhanced audio in an ear of a user.
