Hearing loss is one of the most common sensory pathologies in the world and significantly affects the quality of life of patients. The main problem of people with sensorineural hearing loss is not only a decrease in sensitivity to sound, but also impaired speech intelligibility, especially in difficult acoustic conditions. Modern digital hearing aids actively integrate artificial intelligence algorithms, which allows them to analyze the acoustic environment, recognize the speech signal and automatically optimize sound processing parameters. The purpose of the study: to assess the possibilities of using artificial intelligence technologies in hearing aid based on clinical observations of patients with sensorineural hearing loss. The paper presents two clinical cases of using hearing aids with artificial intelligence. The results demonstrate improved speech intelligibility, increased auditory comfort, and high patient satisfaction after using modern hearing aids with artificial intelligence algorithms.
