More Information
Summary:This invention provides a new and improved hearing aid system with high quality noise cancellation method and devices to overcome the limitations and difficulties encountered in conventional technologies. The technical limitations of the noise uncertainty and speech distortion in the hearing aid field are resolved by restoration of the high-quality speech by converting the speech content into an intermediate linguistic representation and by synthesizing the speech of the same speaker with pre-trained using artificial intelligence (AI) modules. In this invention, the noise uncertainties are circumvented by focusing on the target speaker or picking up the dominant speech by choosing the corresponding setting assuming the speech from the target speaker is the dominant speech based on the Lombard effect.
