arXiv:2606. 04103v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Conventional hearing aids rely on fixed, frequency-dependent amplification and compression to manage reduced sensitivity, which often fails to provide sufficient listening support in complex environments, such as situations with multiple speakers (the ``cocktail party'' problem).

AFA‑Net introduces a differential attention mechanism to improve Auditory Attention Detection (AAD) from EEG signals, explicitly targeting noisy data. The framework outperforms existing deep learning models, achieving 96.8% accuracy within a 2‑second decision window while using fewer parameters. It represents one of the first approaches to actively mitigate EEG noise in AAD tasks.

RAMamba-Net is a new multimodal fusion network designed for auditory attention decoding (AAD) that combines EEG and electrooculography (EOG) signals. It uses a Mamba-enhanced band-aware convolutional Transformer to capture EEG band-specific patterns and long-range temporal dynamics, while a dual-branch encoder models EOG temporal and inter-channel dependencies. Cross‑modal attention and a reliability‑aware module estimate sample‑wise modality weights, improving fusion robustness and achieving a 5.76% accuracy gain over unimodal baselines on two AAD benchmarks.
