The rapid adoption of ear-worn devices (earables) has shown significant potential for continuous health monitoring. Despite their close proximity to the human brain and diverse sensing capabilities, the exploration of earable sensing in relation to cognitive function remains underexplored. Building…
In a world dominated by podcasts and audiobooks, maintaining auditory attention is essential, yet lapses in focus are common. Auditory attention is crucial for effective communication and comprehension in a distraction-filled environment, as it enables us to focus on important sounds while avoiding…
Distortion Product OtoAcoustic Emissions (DPOAEs) represents faint cochlear responses to dual-frequency stimuli, commonly employed in hearing screening. This paper introduces an innovative approach to trigger DPOAEs using single-speaker earbuds. Due to their compact size, the speakers used in the ea…
This paper presents a novel cancellation method of Intermodulation Distortions (IMDs) for earbud speakers used to measure Distortion Product Otoacoustic Emissions (DPOAE). Speakers’ non-linear behaviour is a significant problem for earbuds with small loudspeakers due to limitations in cone movement.…
Continuous blood pressure monitoring is the key to mitigate significant risks for stroke, heart failure and coronary artery disease. Current gold-standard blood pressure devices cause discomfort and interfere with users’ activities. This paper explores an earable system, which continuously monitors…
