In this course about computational audiology, we embark on a journey exploring the past, present, and future of audiology and artificial intelligence. We delve into key concepts, and look at inspiring pioneers who have significantly influenced the field. This course provides an understanding of how AI can be applied in audiology, along with a balanced view of its potential risks and benefits. We will examine various AI models, with a focus on narrow AI, which is designed for specific tasks such as speech recognition. A brief history of AI is covered, starting from the definition of an algorithm to the evolution of deep learning and convolutional neural networks. The importance of high-quality data for AI systems will be underscored. The course will then explore the application of computational audiology in clinical care, looking at examples of past and ongoing projects, and contemplating the future needs and tools of the field. You will not learn how to build AI systems, but resources will be shared to further your understanding of AI. This course is tailored to innovative clinicians looking to understand and embrace AI in audiology.
