    Abstract: An audio enhancement method includes receiving a first input signal representative of audio captured using an array of two or more sensors, the first input signal characterized by a first signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), with the audio being the signal-of-interest. The method also includes receiving a second input signal representative of the audio, the second input signal characterized by a second SNR. The second SNR is higher than the first SNR. The method further includes computing a spectral mask based on a frequency domain representation of the second input signal, and processing a frequency domain representation of the first input signal based on the spectral mask to generate one or more driver signals. The method further includes driving one or more acoustic transducers using the generated driver signals.

    Abstract: The technology described in this document can be embodied in a computer-implemented method that includes receiving identification information associated with a geographic location. The identification information includes one or more features that affect an acoustic environment of the geographic location at a particular time. The method also includes determining one or more parameters representing at least a subset of the one or more features, and estimating at least one acoustic parameter that represents the acoustic environment of the geographic location at the particular time. The at least one parameter can be estimated using a mapping function that generates the estimate of the at least one acoustic parameter as a weighted combination of the one or more parameters. The method further includes presenting, using a user-interface displayed on a computing device, information representing the at least one acoustic parameter estimated for the geographic location for the particular time.

    Abstract: Various implementations include control mechanisms for managing hearing aid usage. In some cases, an interface with a representation of the hearing aid in space is used to control audio functions in the device. In other cases, directionality of the device is controlled based upon the user's visual focus direction. In additional cases, the operating mode of the device is adjustable based upon the signature of a nearby acoustic signal.

    Abstract: An audio enhancement method includes receiving a first plurality of input signals representative of audio captured using an array of two or more sensors, the first plurality of input signals characterized by a first signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), with the audio being the signal-of-interest. The method also includes receiving a second input signal representative of the audio, the second input signal characterized by a second SNR. The second SNR is higher than the first SNR. The method further includes combining the first plurality of input signals and the second input signal to generate one or more driver signals, and driving one or more acoustic transducers using the one or more driver signals to generate an acoustic signal representative of the audio. The driver signals include spatial information derived from the first plurality of input signals, and are characterized by a third SNR that is higher than the first SNR.
