[AUDITORY] HearMus seminar series - October 21.10.24 (Alinka Greasley )

Subject: [AUDITORY] HearMus seminar series - October 21.10.24 From: Alinka Greasley <0000033f2edfad3c-dmarc-request@xxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 30 Sep 2024 12:08:49 +0000 --_000_AM6PR03MB357688B0D6C61F5B617C89C78B762AM6PR03MB3576eurp_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable We are excited to announce the HearMus seminar series, which will commence = in October and will be run as an online seminar. The HearMus seminar series provides a monthly forum for the discussion of a= broad array of topics around music and hearing health. The series aims to = yield a state of the art of research on music perception and hearing impair= ment, hearing aids and music, and individual differences in music perceptio= n and production. Besides presentations from experts in academia and indust= ry, the seminar series seeks to foster lively discussions and exchange of i= deas, with the joint goal of sustaining and enhancing access to music for p= eople with diverse hearing needs. Seminar leaders: Prof. Alinka Greasley, Prof. Kai Siedenburg OCTOBER SEMINAR - Oct 21, 2024, 15:00-17:00 CEST The first seminar will include two talks on music and hearing aids, with Q&= A. There will be opportunity for audience members to introduce themselves a= nd their interest and expertise in the topic area. Hearing Aids for Music (HAfM) project update Prof. Alinka Greasley (University of Leeds) Listening to and performing music with hearing aids can be challenging. Whi= lst hearing aids increase audibility and help with hearing out musical elem= ents, users often experience poor sound quality, distortion and difficultie= s with dynamics, particularly in live music contexts. The Hearing Aids for = Music project mapped the prevalence of problems experienced by hearing aid = users and identified strategies to help improve access to and enjoyment of = music. This talk will summarise the project findings and their implications= for key stakeholders (e.g. musicians, audiologists, manufacturers), and de= scribe how results are informing current projects (e.g. Cadenza, Aural Dive= rsity) and ongoing impact & PPIE work. Hearing aid evaluation for music: Accounting for acoustical variability of = music stimuli Christophe Lesimple (Sonova) Music is an important signal class for hearing aids, and musical genre is o= ften used as a descriptor for stimulus selection. However, little research = has systematically investigated the acoustical properties of musical genres= with respect to hearing aid amplification. Two comprehensive music databas= es were acoustically analyzed where considerable overlap in acoustic descri= ptor space between genres emerged. Simulating hearing aid processing on the= se samples has shown that effects of amplification regarding dynamic range = compression and spectral weighting differed across musical genres, underlin= ing the critical role of systematic stimulus selection for research on musi= c and hearing aids. Practical application, like how to include samples as r= andom effect in listening experiment for the statistical analysis, will be = presented and discussed.
