360 - Inside ReSound Sensia: Automatic AI and Smarter Hearing in Noise

GN’s new ReSound Sensia hearing aids build on the AI and Deep Neural Network (DNN) technology introduced with ReSound Vivia, with a major change: advanced speech-in-noise processing can now engage automatically. At the center of the new platform is AcoustIQ™, which analyzes the listening environment and determines when to activate directional processing, DNN-based noise reduction, and other features to support speech understanding without requiring the wearer to manually switch programs.Andrew Bellavia visits GN headquarters in Denmark to speak with Laurel Christensen, Chief Audiology Officer, and Brian Dam Pedersen, Chief Technology Officer, about the technology behind Sensia and how GN is combining traditional signal processing with newer AI approaches. They explore how Sensia moves between spatial listening, asymmetric directionality, multi-band beamforming, and DNN processing depending on the acoustic environment and location of speech. The discussion also examines why GN intentionally does not classify music automatically and how preserving spatial cues can help create a more natural listening experience even when directional processing is active.The conversation also looks at where hearing aid AI may be headed next, including the potential for increasingly powerful DNNs to drive further improvements in speech-in-noise performance. Other topics include Sensia’s 24-hour battery life, Auracast™ and telecoil connectivity options, and new ReSound Sensia Bimodal and Enzo IA Bimodal models designed to work more seamlessly with Cochlear® Nucleus® sound processors.
