Claim 0:
1. A method for enhancing an intelligibility of audio information for a user, the method comprising:
training a set of trained models using simulated audio data collected at a first location in a virtual room based on a virtual sound source at a second location in the virtual room, wherein the first location comprises a first randomized location, wherein the second location comprises a second randomized location, and wherein the virtual room has a randomized shape;
collecting the audio information;
processing the audio information to determine a set of features of the audio information with the set of trained models, the set of features comprising a set of high frequency phonemes and the set of trained models comprising a set of neural networks;
calculating a set of parameters associated with the set of features;
determining a set of adjustments for the set of parameters, wherein determining the set of adjustments comprises using a trained machine learning model to determine an inverse filter based on the set of features, wherein the set of adjustments comprises the inverse filter, wherein the machine learning model is trained based on auditory perception data associated with hearing loss of the user;
adjusting the set of parameters based on the set of adjustments, wherein adjusting the set of parameters is operating to enhance the intelligibility of the set of features;
determining an altered audio stream comprising the adjusted set of parameters in temporal relation with occurrence of the set of features; and
providing the altered audio stream to the user.
