Abstract
According to some embodiments, an ear-worn device, e.g., a hearing aid, is provided that operates to monitor the health of a wearer of the ear-worn device based on an audio signal detected by the ear-worn device. In some embodiments, a method of monitoring the health of the wearer of the ear-worn device includes: detecting the audio signal with a microphone of the ear-worn device; processing the detected audio signal using a processor of the ear-worn device; and outputting, from an output signal generator of the ear-worn device, a generated output audio signal. In some embodiments, processing the detected audio signal includes: extracting data indicative of a health event associated with the wearer by processing the detected audio signal with a machine learning model; generating the output audio signal based on the detected audio signal; and outputting the data indicative of the health event.
