Cognitive Load Monitoring via Earable Acoustic Sensing

ICASSP 2025accepted

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…

Towards Enabling DPOAE Estimation on Single-Speaker Earbuds

ICASSP 2024accepted

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…

Cancelling Intermodulation Distortions for Otoacoustic Emission Measurements with Earbuds

ICASSP 2023accepted

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.…
