All welcome! ************************************************************ HearMus Seminar - February 20th 14:00-16:00 GMT (15:00-17:00 CET) Making music more accessible for cochlear implant users Professor Waldo Nogueira, Hannover Medical School, Germany Music is vital in our lives, connecting people emotionally and culturally. = However, cochlear implants, designed to restore speech, often fail to help = users enjoy music. This presentation reports on outcomes of the Music4u pro= ject which aims to change this by developing technology to improve music pe= rception for cochlear implant users. This involves creating new signal proc= essing algorithms to enhance music enjoyment and personalizing it based on = individual hearing performance and brain signals. The goal is to improve us= ers' quality of life by making music more accessible. 1st Cadenza Machine Learning Challenge for Music and Hearing Loss: Listener= Evaluation Data Dr Scott Bannister, University of Leeds, UK The Cadenza Project (https://cadenzachallenge.org/) aims to improve music l= istening experiences for people with a hearing loss, through machine learni= ng challenges and perceptual studies. The 1st Cadenza Challenge (CAD1) task= ed entrants with improving music audio quality for people with hearing loss= , listening to music unaided and over headphones. Entrant systems were asse= ssed via an objective metric, and subjectively evaluated by a Listener Pane= l of hearing aid users. This talk aims to summarise recent sensory evaluati= on work to understand attributes of music audio quality from the perspectiv= es of hearing loss, and to present Listener Panel evaluation data for CAD1.= Findings will be discussed in relation to music listening difficulties exp= erienced through hearing loss, and next steps in the Cadenza Project will b= e outlined. Alinka Greasley is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
