    摘要: System and methods for processing audio signals are disclosed. In one implementation, a system may comprise a wearable camera configured to capture images from an environment of a user; a microphone; and a processor. The processor may be configured to receive an audio signal representative of sounds captured by the microphone during a time period; and receive the images captured by the wearable camera. The processor may process the audio signal in a first mode based on audio data accumulated in a buffer prior to the time period; detect a change in the active speaker from the first individual to a second individual; and cease processing in the first mode and process the audio signal in a second mode that differs from the first mode.

    摘要: A system for generating processed audio signals may include an earphone comprising a microphone configured to capture sounds from an environment of the earphone, a first communication component, and a first processor; and an earphone case comprising an earphone compartment configured to receive the earphone, a second communication component, and a second processor. The first processor may be programmed to receive a captured audio signal representative of the sounds captured by the microphone; and transmit the captured audio signal via the first communication component. The second processor may be programmed to receive the captured audio signal via the second communication component; generate a processed audio signal based on analysis of the captured audio signal; and transmit the processed audio signal via the second communication component to the first communication component.

    摘要: System and methods for processing audio signals are disclosed. In one implementation, a system may include a wearable apparatus including an image sensor to capture images from an environment of a user; an audio sensor to capture an audio signal from the environment of the user; and at least one processor. The processor may be programmed to receive the audio signal captured by the audio sensor; identify at least one segment including speech in the audio signal; receive an image including a representation of a code; analyze the code to determine whether the code is associated with the user and/or the wearable apparatus; and after determining that the code is associated with the user and/or the wearable apparatus, transmit at least one segment of the audio signal, at least one image of the plurality of images, and/or other information to a computing platform.

    摘要: A hearing aid and related systems and methods are disclosed. In one implementation, a system may comprise a microphone, a wearable camera, and a processor. The processor may be configured to receive a composite audio signal representative of sounds captured by the microphone, the composite audio signal including a representation of an audio source and additional audio source in the environment of the user; obtain an indication of a direction of arrival associated with the audio source, the direction of arrival representing a position of the audio source relative to the user; provide the composite audio signal, information associated with the plurality of images, and the indication of the direction of arrival to a trained model; and extract, based on an output from the trained model, an isolated audio signal from the composite audio signal, the isolated audio signal representing sounds emanating from the audio source.

    摘要: Disclosed is a hearing aid system for selectively conditioning audio signals. The system may comprise a processor programmed to: receive a plurality of images captured by a wearable camera, wherein the plurality of images depict objects in an environment of a user; receive audio signals acquired by a wearable microphone, wherein the audio signals are representative of sounds emanating from the objects; analyze the plurality of images to identify at least one sound-emanating object in the environment of the user; retrieve, from a database, information about the at least one identified sound-emanating object; causing, based on the retrieved information, selective conditioning of at least one audio signal received by the wearable microphone from a region associated with the at least one sound-emanating object; and cause transmission of the at least one conditioned audio signal to a hearing interface device configured to provide sounds to an ear of the user.
