Journal Article
Bannister, S., E. Greasley, A., J. Cox, T., A. Akeroyd, M., Barker, J., Fazenda, B., …M. Whitmer, W. (2024). Muddy, muddled, or muffled? Understanding the perception of audio quality in music by hearing aid users. Frontiers in Psychology, 15, https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2024.1310176

Introduction: Previous work on audio quality evaluation has demonstrated a developing convergence of the key perceptual attributes underlying judgments of quality, such as timbral, spatial and technical attributes. However, across existing research t... Read More about Muddy, muddled, or muffled? Understanding the perception of audio quality in music by hearing aid users.

The Clarity & Cadenza Challenges (2024)
Journal Article
Akeroyd, M., Bailey, W., Bannister, S., Firth, J., Graetzer, S., Roa Dabike, G., …Research Project, C. (in press). The Clarity & Cadenza Challenges. #Journal not on list, 1209-1211. https://doi.org/10.61782/fa.2023.0876

Clarity (Speech in noise) and Cadenza (music) are two EPSRC projects that are exploiting the latest in machine learning to create improved listening experiences for those with a hearing loss. In both we are running a series of open competitions, for... Read More about The Clarity & Cadenza Challenges.

The First Cadenza Signal Processing Challenge: Improving Music for Those With a Hearing Loss (2023)
Conference Proceeding
Dabike, G. R., Bannister, S., Firth, J., Graetzer, S., Vos, R., Akeroyd, M. A., …Whitmer, W. (2023). The First Cadenza Signal Processing Challenge: Improving Music for Those With a Hearing Loss.

The Cadenza project aims to improve the audio quality of music for those who have a hearing loss. This is being done through a series of signal processing challenges, to foster better and more inclusive technologies. In the first round, two common li...
