Re: [AUDITORY] Seeking Advice on Auditory Models for Hearing Loss

["Richard F. Lyon" <0000030301ff4bce-dmarc-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Consider CARFAC v2 for this.  See paper https://arxiv.org/abs/2404.17490

It's free, open-source, well documented, small, efficient, in multiple languages, and can model sensorineural hearing loss via reduction of OHC function.  We have a v3 to release soon that can also model synaptopathy.

Dear members of the auditory list,

I've recently been working on behavioral auditory source localization performance in hearing aid users. To support my behavioral findings, I am exploring computational auditory models for various configurations of hearing loss. 

Through the review of the literature, I found that the direction-of-arrival models proposed by Dietz et al. (2011) and Kayser et al. (2015) are suitable for my experiment where the interpretation based on pre-estimated IPD-to-azimuth mappings with respect to Interaural Coherence and probability distributions. However, both of these models do not account for hearing loss characteristics.     

I would greatly appreciate suggestions for other auditory models that might be suitable for my purpose. Additionally, I am wondering whether I can replace the cochlear and basilar membrane processing steps in Dietz et al. (2011) with the hearing loss models. If anyone has experience with this approach, I would be grateful for your advice.

Thank you in advance for your suggestions!!

Best regards,
