“…The responses of the three ANF types are combined together to yield the final summed AN response 𝑟F, by using weights HNH, MNH and LNH that correspond to the number of HSR, MSR and LSR fibers in a NH periphery (HNH = 13, MNH = 3 and LNH = 3 as reported in Verhulst et al [17]). The CoNNearcochlea, CoNNearIHC and CoNNearANf modules comprise encoder-decoder CNN architectures that can be backpropagated through, thus facilitating the development of individualized audioenhancement methods.2.2 DNN-Based CS-Compensating HA AlgorithmsFrom the NH CoNNear model, we can obtain a HI CoNNear model by retraining the CoNNearcochlea stage via transfer learning to simulate OHC loss[19], and by changing the weights of the different types of ANFs in the CoNNearANf stage to model AN fiber loss, related to CS. The CoNNear HI periphery model can be individualized based on frequency-dependent degrees of OHC loss and CS.…”
