Article Abstract
In this paper, the development of a speech processing pipeline on smartphones for hearing aid devices (HADs) is presented. This pipeline is used for noise suppression and speech enhancement (SE) to improve speech quality and intelligibility. The proposed method is implemented to run in real-time on Android smartphones. The results of the testing conducted indicate that the proposed method suppresses the noise and improves the perceptual quality of speech in terms of three objective measures of perceptual evaluation of speech quality (PESQ), noise attenuation level (NAL), and the coherent speech intelligibility index (CSII).

A growing literature explores the representational detail of infants' early lexical representations, but no study has investigated how exposure to real-life acoustic-phonetic variation impacts these representations. Indeed, previous experimental work with young infants has largely ignored the impact of accent exposure on lexical development. We ask how routine exposure to accent variation affects 6-month-olds' ability to detect mispronunciations.

Background: Health professions students may encounter a range of stressors during their clinical education that may impact their quality of life. This study aimed to explore how various health professions students perceive their quality of life and the environment in which they develop their clinical skills.
Methods: An online survey was administered among registered undergraduate students in the physiotherapy, speech-language pathology, nursing, or medical programs.

Human speech perception is multisensory, integrating auditory information from the talker's voice with visual information from the talker's face. BOLD fMRI studies have implicated the superior temporal gyrus (STG) in processing auditory speech and the superior temporal sulcus (STS) in integrating auditory and visual speech, but as an indirect hemodynamic measure, fMRI is limited in its ability to track the rapid neural computations underlying speech perception. Using stereoelectroencephalograpy (sEEG) electrodes, we directly recorded from the STG and STS in 42 epilepsy patients (25 F, 17 M).

Humans live in an environment that contains rich auditory stimuli, which must be processed efficiently. The entrainment of neural oscillations to acoustic inputs may support the processing of simple and complex sounds. However, the characteristics of this entrainment process have been shown to be inconsistent across species and experimental paradigms.

Neural tracking, the alignment of brain activity with the temporal dynamics of sensory input, is a crucial mechanism underlying perception, attention, and cognition. While this concept has gained prominence in research on speech, music, and visual processing, its definition and methodological approaches remain heterogeneous. This paper critically examines neural tracking from both theoretical and methodological perspectives, highlighting how its interpretation varies across studies.
