contents This work focuses on zero-shot non-intrusive speech assessment for hearing aids (HA) using large language models (LLMs). Specifically, we introduce GPT-Whisper-HA, an extension of GPT-Whisper, a zero-shot non-intrusive speech assessment model based on LLMs. GPT-Whisper-HA is designed for speech assessment for HA, incorporating MSBG hearing loss and NAL-R simulations to process audio input based on each individual's audiogram, two automatic speech recognition (ASR) modules for audio-to-text representation, and GPT-4o to predict two corresponding scores, followed by score averaging for the final estimated score. Experimental results indicate that GPT-Whisper-HA achieves a 2.59% relative root mean square error (RMSE) improvement over GPT-Whisper, confirming the potential of LLMs for zero-shot speech assessment in predicting subjective intelligibility for HA users.
