Predicting and Explaining Hearing Aid Usage Using Encoder-Decoder with Attention Mechanism and SHAP

arXiv:2405.11275v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: It is essential to understand the personal, behavioral, environmental, and other factors that correlate with optimal hearing aid fitting and hearing aid users' experiences in order to improve hearing loss patient satisfaction and quality of life, as well as reduce societal and financial burdens. This work proposes a novel framework that uses Encoder-decoder with attention mechanism (attn-ED) for predicting future hearing aid usage and SHAP to explain the factors contributing to this prediction. It has …
