Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of medical assistance technology, and in particular to a hearing threshold prediction method based on frequency sweeping OAEs and a deep learning model. Background Art

[0002] Otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) are weak audio energy generated in the cochlea of ​​the inner ear and released into the external auditory canal through the ossicular chain and the eardrum. They are part of the normal function of the human ear. The discovery of OAEs confirmed that the cochlea, as a peripheral auditory receptor, not only passively converts external sound signals into bioelectrical signals that are transmitted to the central nervous system to induce hearing, but also actively releases energy, thus establishing the theory that the cochlea is a bidirectional transducer.

[0003] Hearing loss is often accompanied by an increase in the minimum audible sound intensity, or hearing threshold. Clinically, hearing loss is primarily caused by cochlear hair cell lesions. Current diagnostic methods rely on behavioral hearing threshold testing, which is susceptible to subjective factors such as attention deficit disorder. However, otoacoustic emissions (OAEs), a byproduct of active cochlear processes, can characterize changes in the absolute hearing threshold in hearing-impaired ears.

[0004] Currently, clinically used OAE detection systems primarily assess a subject's hearing by detecting transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAEs) and / or distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs). Existing research has revealed that the mechanisms of OAE generation primarily include linear coherent reflections and nonlinear distortion. These OAEs carry different information characterizing the active mechanisms of the cochlea. Stimulus frequency otoacoustic emissions (SFOAEs) and TEOAEs are believed to arise primarily from linear coherent reflections, with SFOAEs exhibiting significantly higher frequency specificity than TEOAEs. DPOAEs are believed to arise primarily from nonlinear distortion. Therefore, given the subjectivity of current clinical diagnosis of hearing loss (hearing threshold), accurate predictions are difficult to ensure with existing technologies. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] The following combination Figures 1 to 9 The present invention describes the hearing threshold prediction method based on swept frequency OAEs and deep learning model.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, a method for predicting hearing thresholds based on swept frequency OAEs and a deep learning model includes the following steps: In step S110 , a unified sweep frequency stimulation signal paradigm is used to extract SFOAEs and DPOAEs signals. The stimulation sound paradigm of the SFOAEs signal is a four-segment sweep frequency signal, and the stimulation sound paradigm of the DPOAEs signal is a single-segment sweep frequency signal.

[0023] Specifically, a unified sweep frequency stimulation signal paradigm was used to extract SFOAEs and DPOAEs. The DPOAE stimulation sound paradigm is a single-segment sweep frequency signal with a segment duration of 1 second, including two sweep frequency signals, the first fundamental tone (primary tone) and the second fundamental tone, which are played to the human ear through two independent sound tubes. The frequencies of the two are and ,in, The sweep frequency is 0.5-8 kHz, and the instantaneous frequency relationship between the two is maintained as =M, the value of M can be set to any value within the range of 1.0~1.4 according to the needs. The stimulus paradigm of SFOAEs is a four-segment sweep signal with a segment length of 1 second, including a probe tone and a suppressor tone, which are played to the human ear through two independent sound tubes. The stimulus appears in the four segments A, B, C and D, and presents an initial phase alternating between positive and negative. Its frequency The suppression sound only appears in the C and D segments with the same initial phase, and its frequency and Time maintenance =N constant proportional relationship, N can be set to any value within the range of 0.9~1.1 according to requirements.

[0024] It should be noted that the instantaneous frequency of the DPOAEs induced by the DPOAEs sweep paradigm is 2 - , which is contained in the retrieved time domain signal and needs to be subsequently obtained by filtering. The swept frequency SFOAEs signal induced by the swept frequency paradigm of SFOAEs needs to be extracted by residual calculation, and the formula is , and then the SFOAEs signal is extracted from the residual signal by filtering.

[0025] Combine Figure 2 As shown, in a specific embodiment, the present invention provides a method for predicting hearing thresholds based on swept frequency OAEs and a deep learning model. DPOAEs is a single-segment stimulation paradigm, and the stimulation sound includes a pair of fundamental tones. and , the instantaneous frequency ratio of the two is =M( Figure 2 The DPOAEs signal induced by this is taken as 1.22. The instantaneous frequency is 2 - , which is included in the total recollection signal r with the pitch recollection artifact, and is subsequently filtered by tracking. Extraction. SFOAEs is a four-segment stimulation paradigm. The stimulus sound appears in all four segments with alternating initial phases. The inhibitory sound appears only in segments C and D with the same phase. The instantaneous frequency ratio of the inhibitory sound to the stimulus sound is =N (N is taken as 1.05 as an example in the figure). The SFOAEs signal derived from this needs to be obtained through the residual signal calculated from the four-segment signal. The calculation formula is: ,in, , , and These are the echo signals corresponding to the four stimulus sounds.

[0026] Step S120 , filtering out interference signals from the residual signal of a single DPOAEs signal or a SFOAEs signal through a tracking filter with dynamically changing zeros and poles, so as to extract the swept frequency OAEs spectrum information.

[0027] Specifically, during the sound-giving and acquisition process, the single DPOAEs signal or the residual signal of SFOAEs is passed through a tracking filter with dynamically changing zero poles to filter out interference signals such as the acquisition artifact. For DPOAEs, the dynamic pole of the filter is set to 2 - frequency, and the two dynamic zero points are set to the fundamental frequency and Frequency, for the SFOAEs residual signal, the dynamic pole of the filter is set to the stimulus frequency induced by SFOAEs , and the dynamic zero is set to suppress the sound Frequency. Multiple filtered time-domain signals are stacked and averaged to improve the signal-to-noise ratio (S / N). Simultaneously, the signals are stored sequentially in odd- and even-numbered buffers. The noise corresponding to the OAE signal is calculated as the average of the difference between the time-domain signals in the two buffers. Time-frequency analysis (TFA) is used to estimate the amplitudes of the OAE signal and noise at each extraction time. TFA is performed using a continuous Hanning window with a window length of 50 ms and a 50% overlap between windows. The discrete Fourier transform (DFT) of the window is calculated with a resolution of 48,000 points, consistent with the sampling rate. The amplitude at the swept frequency corresponding to the center of each window in the DFT result is taken as the swept OAE and noise result at that time. After the above calculations, the amplitude spectrum and noise spectrum of the swept-frequency SFOAEs and DPAOEs at a single test intensity can be obtained. By subtracting the two, their signal-to-noise ratio spectrum can be further obtained. The TFA analysis parameters are only for reference. In actual process, the analysis parameters can be flexibly changed according to the number of points and resolution requirements.

[0028] In a specific embodiment, the present invention provides a method for predicting hearing thresholds based on swept frequency OAEs and a deep learning model. The essence of the tracking filter is the dynamically changing zeros and poles. For the extraction of DPOAEs, the poles are set to the signal frequency of the DPOAEs. - , set the zero point to the frequency of the echo artifact and , to filter out the echo artifacts and extract the DPOAEs signal. For the extraction of SFOAEs, the pole is set to the signal frequency of SFOAEs. , set the zero point to the signal frequency of the suppressed sound , in order to filter out the artifacts induced by the suppressive sound in the residual signal and extract the SFOAEs signal induced by the stimulus sound.

[0029] Step S130: construct a data set for a deep learning model based on the swept frequency OAEs spectrum information, train and evaluate the deep learning model, and obtain a hearing threshold prediction model.

[0030] Specifically, the deep learning (DL) model method includes dataset construction, model construction, and model evaluation. The dataset consists of two parts: a feature set and a label set. The feature set is a feature matrix composed of the amplitude spectrum and signal-to-noise ratio spectrum of SFOAEs and DPOAEs at multiple test intensities; the label set is the hearing threshold of each frequency to be predicted. Model construction is carried out independently for each hearing threshold frequency. The model architecture includes an input layer, a self-feature extractor, and an output layer. The input layer extracts the required local feature matrix from the original feature matrix. The feature extractor uses a CNN framework to learn high-dimensional feature vectors from the original feature matrix. The output layer uses a fully connected layer as a regressor to convert the feature vector into the hearing threshold to be predicted. Six-fold cross-validation is used for model evaluation, combined with 20 fixed random seeds. The mean absolute error (MAE) of the test set is used as the generalization error evaluation result of the model.

[0031] During the dataset construction, the feature set includes SFOAEs at A test intensities ( selected from the range of 20 to 60 dB SPL) and DPOAEs at B test intensities ( The amplitude spectrum and signal-to-noise ratio spectrum of the OAEs were selected within the range of 20 to 60 dB SPL, resulting in a total of (A+B) × 2 spectral sequences. The frequency range of each sequence is 0.5-8 kHz, with a frequency interval of 1 / 40 octave. The feature sequence is interpolated from the original OAE spectrum, so the number of points in each feature sequence is 161. The size of the original feature matrix is ​​2(A+B) × 161. The label set is the hearing threshold of the test subject at each frequency. The original hearing threshold is converted to obtain the labeled hearing threshold. The rule is to set the upper and lower limit hearing thresholds. The label value below the 0 dB HL hearing threshold is set to 0 dB HL, and the label value above the 65 dB HL hearing threshold is set to 65 dB HL. All thresholds are normalized to integers with a step size of 5 dB. The values ​​of the above settings can also be flexibly adjusted according to changes in the actual model prediction needs.

[0032] In the process of model construction, in order to give full play to the potential of joint hearing threshold prediction of multi-frequency SFOAEs and DPOAEs, the most commonly used CNN architecture in the field of deep learning was selected to build a regression model, which includes three parts: input layer, feature extractor and output layer: the input layer is centered on the hearing threshold frequency to be predicted, extracts a local sequence of 1 octave frequency range from the original feature matrix, and standardizes the matrix spectrum type of the local sequence spectrum; the feature extractor is mainly composed of convolutional neural networks, which is used to automatically learn the high-dimensional features representing hearing loss in the feature matrix. Abstract: The CNN network consists of one convolutional layer, one activation layer, and one pooling layer. The convolutional layer has 600 convolution kernels, a one-dimensional kernel with a height of 2 (A + B), equal to the number of sequences, and a width of 3. The activation layer uses LeakyReLU, and the pooling layer uses global average pooling. The output layer consists of two fully connected layers, which convert the high-dimensional feature vector output by the feature extractor into the hearing threshold to be predicted. The first fully connected layer has 100 nodes, and the second has 1 node. The hyperparameters involved in the above model architecture can be flexibly adjusted as the dataset content and scale change.

[0033] During model evaluation, 6-fold cross-validation is used for model training and evaluation. The dataset is divided into 6 roughly equal folds using stratified sampling. One of the folds is rotated as the test set, and one of the remaining 5 folds is randomly stratified and sampled as the validation set, leaving the remaining 4 folds as the training set. The training set is used to optimize model parameters to fit the relationship between data and labels. The validation set is used to determine the optimal combination of hyperparameters for model training. The test set is used to ultimately determine the model's generalized predictive performance. A fixed layer of 20 random seed cycles is set outside of cross-validation during model training to ensure that the model's predictive performance is evaluated under 20 fixed but internally different data partitioning methods, resulting in more robust model evaluation results.

[0034] Combine Figure 3As shown in a specific embodiment, the present invention provides a hearing threshold prediction method based on swept-frequency OAEs and a deep learning model. The deep learning model construction includes three parts: a dataset, a model architecture, and a model evaluation. The dataset consists of a feature set and a label set. The feature set includes the amplitude spectrum and signal-to-noise ratio spectrum of two (A+B) spectra, including A-intensity swept-frequency DPOAEs and B-intensity swept-frequency SFOAEs. The label set consists of hearing thresholds for five octave bands from 0.5-8 kHz, normalized by upper and lower limits and rounded to 5 dB. The model architecture consists of an input layer, a feature extractor, and an output layer. The input layer truncates the feature set according to the hearing threshold frequency to be predicted. The feature extractor uses a CNN architecture, and the output layer is a regressor composed of fully connected layers. Model evaluation primarily involves model training and generalization error estimation using 6-fold cross-validation. Twenty random seeds are set in addition to the cross-validation to fully evaluate model performance under different dataset partitioning methods.

[0035] In this embodiment, the local spectrum sequence group obtained from the input layer (size = number of spectra * number of frequency points) is calculated through the convolution layer to obtain multiple feature sequence groups (size = number of convolution kernels * number of sequence points). This is then compressed into a one-dimensional feature vector (size = number of convolution kernels) through a pooling layer after a nonlinear activation (Leaky ReLU). The number of frequency points is 40 (corresponding to a 1-octave spectrum with 1 / 40 octave intervals), and the number of convolution kernels is 600. Zero padding is used to keep the number of sequence points consistent with the number of frequency points. However, in actual operation, these hyperparameters can be adjusted within an appropriate range based on changes in the data structure.

[0036] It should be noted that during the 6-fold cross-validation process, the analysis data is stratified and sampled using the label set. Each fold of data is used as the test set in turn. One fold of the remaining data is randomly stratified and sampled as the validation set, and the remaining folds are used for training. The training set updates the model parameters to fit the relationship between the data and the label. The validation set is used to select the model and training hyperparameters, such as the number of iterative updates. The test set is used to evaluate the generalization error of the model after training. The generalization error of each cross-validation is the average of the errors of the 6-fold test set. The overall generalization error is calculated as the average result of 20 cross-validations with a fixed random seed setting.

[0037] Step S140 , calling a hearing threshold prediction model to predict the hearing threshold of the SFOAEs signal and the DPOAEs signal at different test intensities, so as to output the hearing threshold corresponding to each frequency.

[0038] Specifically, after obtaining the hearing threshold prediction model, the trained hearing threshold prediction model can be called to take the hearing threshold of SFOAEs signals and DPOAEs signals under different test intensities as input, and finally output the hearing threshold prediction results corresponding to each frequency through model processing and analysis.

[0039] The above-mentioned hearing threshold prediction method based on swept-frequency OAEs and deep learning models increases the demand for information complementarity for the joint acquisition of high-frequency resolution SFOAEs and DPOAEs. It adopts a swept-frequency tone paradigm to extract SFOAEs and DPOAEs at multiple frequency points. For the hearing threshold prediction task, a deep learning model based on a convolutional neural network architecture (CNN) is used to learn the characterization information of hearing loss from the acquired multi-test intensity OAEs spectra, thereby achieving objective quantitative prediction of the hearing threshold and further improving the accuracy of hearing threshold prediction.

[0040] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the hearing threshold prediction method based on swept frequency OAEs and deep learning model provided by the present invention, step S110 specifically includes the following steps: Step S111 , extracting a DPOAEs signal through a single-segment sweep signal stimulus paradigm, wherein the DPOAEs signal includes a first pitch sweep signal and a second pitch sweep signal, and the first pitch sweep signal and the second pitch sweep signal are respectively transmitted to the human ear through two independent sound tubes.

[0041] In step S112 , a SFOAEs signal is extracted using a stimulus sound paradigm of four-segment sweep frequency signals. The SFOAEs signal includes a stimulus sound and an inhibitory sound, and the stimulus sound and the inhibitory sound are respectively transmitted to the human ear through two independent sound tubes.

[0042] The frequencies of the first fundamental frequency sweep signal and the second fundamental frequency sweep signal are respectively the first frequency and the second frequency, and the ratio between the first frequency and the second frequency is any value within a first preset range. The four-segment sweep signal includes a first-segment sweep signal, a second-segment sweep signal, a third-segment sweep signal, and a fourth-segment sweep signal. The stimulus sound is present in each segment of the four-segment sweep signal and exhibits an initial phase that alternates between positive and negative. The inhibitory sound is present in the third-segment sweep signal and the fourth-segment sweep signal with the same initial phase. The frequencies of the stimulus sound and the inhibitory sound are respectively the third frequency and the fourth frequency, and the ratio between the third frequency and the fourth frequency is any value within a second preset range.

[0043] like Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the hearing threshold prediction method based on swept frequency OAEs and deep learning model provided by the present invention, step S120 specifically includes the following steps: Step S121 , for the DPOAEs signal, the dynamic poles of the tracking filter are set to the instantaneous frequency of the swept-frequency DPOAEs signal induced by the DPOAEs signal swept-frequency paradigm, and the dynamic zeros are set to the first frequency and the second frequency respectively.

[0044] Step S122 : For the residual signal of the SFOAEs signal, the dynamic pole of the tracking filter is set to the third frequency induced by the SFOAEs signal sweeping paradigm, and the dynamic zero is set to the fourth frequency.

[0045] like Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the hearing threshold prediction method based on swept frequency OAEs and deep learning model provided by the present invention, step S120 specifically further includes the following steps: In step S123, the filtered multiple time domain signals are stacked and averaged, and the odd buffer and the even buffer are stored one by one in an odd-even order. The average value of the time domain signal difference between the odd buffer and the even buffer is the noise signal of the OAEs signal.

[0046] In step S124 , the amplitudes of the OAEs signal and noise at each induced moment are estimated by time-frequency analysis, and TFA is performed using a continuous Hanning window to perform discrete Fourier transform on the window to calculate the resolution points.
