contents Speech enhancement (SE) improves degraded speech's quality, with generative models like flow matching gaining attention for their outstanding perceptual quality. However, the flow-based model requires multiple numbers of function evaluations (NFEs) to achieve stable and satisfactory performance, leading to high computational load and poor 1-NFE performance. In this paper, we propose MeanSE, an efficient generative speech enhancement model using mean flows, which models the average velocity field to achieve high-quality 1-NFE enhancement. Experimental results demonstrate that our proposed MeanSE significantly outperforms the flow matching baseline with a single NFE, exhibiting extremely better out-of-domain generalization capabilities.
