Dr. Matthias Froehlich of Siemens AG is studying how the brain accomplishes the auditory scene analysis and developing ways to use this information to help configure hearing instruments to maximize the hearing capabilities of their users. “Smart” algorithms may help those dependent on hearing aids hear better in all situations, whether they are in a crowded stadium or in a library reading room by allowing their hearing device to adjust to different auditory scenes automatically. The ultimate goal is a completely new kind of hearing aid that “knows” what the wearer wants to listen to and automatically adjusts its own settings accordingly. This would be particularly useful for elderly hearing aid wearers who may be unable or unwilling to make manual adjustments to their hearing instruments to allow them to enjoy the sounds around them, whatever the situation.
