A Psychoacoustic "NofM"-Type Speech Coding Strategy for Cochlear Implants
We describe a new signal processing technique for cochlear implants using a psychoacoustic-masking model. The technique is based on the principle of a so-called “NofM” strategy. These strategies stimulate fewer channels (N) per cycle than active electrodes (NofM;N < M). In “NofM” strategies such as ACE or SPEAK, only theN channels with higher amplitudes are stimulated. The new strategy is based...
متن کاملSupervised Sparse Coding Strategy in Cochlear Implants
In this paper we explore how to improve a sparse coding (SC) strategy that was successfully used to improve subjective speech perception in noisy environment in cochlear implants. On the basis of the existing unsupervised algorithm, we developed an enhanced supervised SC strategy, using the SC shrinkage (SCS) principle. The new algorithm is implemented at the stage of the spectral envelopes aft...
متن کاملSpeech Perception in Children with Cochlear Implants
Cochlear implants provide access to the speech signal in children with hearing loss that often cannot benefit from acoustic hearing aids. However, despite the numerous positive results in pediatric cochlear implantation, published data still indicated a wide range of performance among implant recipients. Hence, a need to study the possible variables that can affect performance, could account fo...
متن کاملImplementation of a speech coding strategy for auditory implants
In this paper we present the conception and the implementation of a speech processing interface for cochlea prosthesis. This module is based on a numerical speech processing algorithm which modelizes the infected ear and generates the stimulus signals for the cilia cells (brain). This interface uses a gammachirp filter bank constituted of 16 band pass filters based on IIR filters. The central f...
متن کاملPsychoacoustic performance and music and speech perception in prelingually deafened children with cochlear implants.
The number of pediatric cochlear implant (CI) recipients has increased substantially over the past 10 years, and it has become more important to understand the underlying mechanisms of the variable outcomes in this population. In this study, psychoacoustic measures of spectral-ripple and Schroeder-phase discrimination, the Clinical Assessment of Music Perception, and consonant-nucleus-consonant...
