The IPIAMA project concerns the evaluation of Speech Intelligibility using Artificial Intelligence methods for hearing-impaired workers with hearing aids.
Led by the INRS workplace acoustics laboratory, this Lorraine-based project will be carried out in collaboration with LEMTA’s Acoustics team and LORIA’s Multispeech team.
Finding :
Poor speech intelligibility in the workplace is often attributed to ambient noise. This leads to significant extra-auditory effects such as discomfort, fatigue, stress and loss of sleep, and is also likely to compromise safety, for example when verbal instructions are not understood.
