Abstract
Systems and methods for treating misophonia include utilizing machine learning within a deep learning processor to allow a user to listen to ambient sounds from their environment without hearing trigger sounds. The method includes the steps of recording ambient sounds with one or more microphones, digitizing the recorded ambient sounds into digital signals, creating spectrographic data for the digital signals, comparing the spectrographic data against a signature library that comprises preprogrammed spectrographic data for the unwanted trigger sounds, identifying the spectrographic data that corresponds to the unwanted trigger sounds, removing the unwanted trigger sounds from the spectrographic data to provide filtered spectrographic data, converting the filtered spectrographic data into a filtered digital signal, converting the filtered digital signal into a filtered audio signal that does not include the unwanted trigger sounds, and playing the filtered audio signal to the user through the one or more speakers on the headset.
