Hearing technology has to meet strict delay requirements, but wireless protocols like Bluetooth have large delays. We can use delay-robust signal processing strategies to use the data from these wireless devices even if it's delayed.
I am delighted to welcome Rashen Fernando to the Listening Technology Lab! He is joining the team as our very first Ph.D. student at UIC. Rashen comes from the University of Peradeniya in…
Welcome to the new website for the Listening Technology Lab! Established in 2023, the lab focuses on technologies to enhance and augment human hearing. The research group is part of both the Department…
On April 18, 2023, Dr. Corey was the featured speaker at the Audio Engineering Society Chicago chapter. The meeting was held at Shure headquarters in Niles, Illinois.
It’s often hard to follow group conversations in noisy environments like restaurants. In this paper, we make it easier for a group to hear each other by connecting everyone's smartphones and hearing devices together.
It is often difficult to hear over loud music in a bar or restaurant. What if we could remove the annoying music while hearing everything else? With the magic of adaptive signal processing, we can!
A group conversation enhancement system turns up the voices of users in the group while tuning out background noise, for example in a crowded restaurant.
Our immersive remote microphone system makes it easier to hear multiple people in noisy situations. Here, we implement it on real hardware using the open-source Tympan platform.
Wireless remote microphones make it easier to hear by sending sound directly from the talker's mouth to the listener's ears, but they don't work well group conversations with multiple talkers. We propose an immersive system for group conversations.
Every modern hearing aid uses dynamic range compression to control loudness, but compression can cause distortion in noisy places like restaurants. We developed a mathematical model explaining these distortion effects.
