Abstract: One or more processing circuits may obtain sensor data that includes first sensor data generated by a first plurality of sensors of one or more hearing instruments worn by a user and second sensor data generated by a second plurality of sensors of the computing device communicably coupled to the one or more hearing instruments. The one or more processing circuits may generate a notification and may determine, based on at least a portion of the sensor data, a. time period at which the user is available to interact with the notification. The one or more processing circuits may, in response to determining the time period at which the user is available to interact with the notification, output, during the time period, the notification.

Abstract: A system may obtain a set of features characterizing a segment of inertial measurement unit (IMU) data generated by an IMU of an ear-wearable device. The system may apply a machine learning model (MLM) that takes the features characterizing the segment of the IMU data as input. The system may determine, based on output values produced by the MLM, whether a user of the ear-wearable device has potentially been subject to physical abuse. The system may then perform an action in response to determining that the user of the ear-wearable device has potentially been subject to physical abuse.

Abstract: A method comprises obtaining ear modeling data, wherein the ear modeling data includes a 3D model of an ear canal; applying a shell generation to generate a shell shape based on the ear modeling data, wherein the shell-generation model is a machine learning model and the shell shape is a 3D representation of a shell of an ear-wearable device; applying a set of one or more component-placement models to determine, based on the ear modeling data, a position and orientation of a component of the ear-wearable device, wherein the component-placement models are independent of the shell-generation model and each of the component-placement models is a separate machine learning model; and generating an ear-wearable device model based on the shell shape and the 3D arrangement of the components of the ear-wearable device.

Abstract: A processing system may receive reference audio data representing one or more voices and may generate, using a first machine learning (ML) model, an embedding of the reference audio data. The processing system receives live audio data representing sound detected by one or more microphones of a hearing instrument and may generate an input spectrogram of the live audio data. The processing system may use a second ML model to generate a masked spectrogram based on the embedding and the input spectrogram. The masked spectrogram represents a version of the live audio data in which portions of the live audio data spoken in the voices represented by the reference audio data are enhanced. The processing system may cause one or more receivers of the hearing instrument to output sound based on the masked spectrogram.

Abstract: Disclosed herein, among other things, are systems and methods for humidity detection for hearing device applications. A method includes calculating a capacitance between a terminal of a processor within a housing of an ear-wearable device and a designated ground plane within the housing. A temperature measurement is obtained from a sensor within the housing, and a humidity level is determined within the housing using the calculated capacitance and the obtained temperature measurement. The determined humidity level is compared to one or more predetermined humidity trigger levels, and a notification is sent to a wearer of the ear-wearable device conditioned on the comparison.
