New processing strategies for multichannel cochlear prostheses

摘要: Publisher Summary Cochlear implants have improved the lives of many deaf people. Most patients enjoy remarkable gains in face-to-face communication when implant is used as an adjunct to lipreading and some are able understand portions conversational speech with hearing alone. Full restoration recognition without visual cues, however, has remained elusive. This chapter presents various strategies for representing information multichannel cochlear prostheses that compared tests patients. The included compressed analog (CA) approach a standard clinical device alternative interleaved pulses (IP) continuous sampling (CIS) strategies. CA IP all three types one subject CIS six additional subjects. Subjects studies selected their excellent performance processor, closed-set identification consonants open-set words sentences. For every test, obtained highest score, or repeated score 100% correct, using strategy. In comparisons approaches, processor scores between those processors. results discussed terms implications design.
