Embodiment Construction

[0023] Cochlear electronics include two parts: an external speech processing device worn outside the ear and an implanted device inside the body. The in vitro speech processing device not only realizes normal speech signal processing, but also measures physiological signals mainly including photoplethysmographic signals to detect important cardiovascular physiological parameters. The implanted device in the body is not only used to electrically stimulate the auditory neurons to produce hearing, but also to stimulate the vascular tissue in the cochlea by means of electricity, light, and magnetism, measure and obtain the evoked signal, and send the evoked signal wirelessly to the An external speech processing device to obtain physiological characteristic parameters such as cochlear blood vessel microcirculation and electrochemistry.

Abstract

The invention relates to an electronic cochlea comprising an external voice processing device and an internal implanted device. The external voice processing device comprises an internal power supply, a microphone, a voice signal processing unit and a transmit unit. The internal implanted device comprises a receiver, an electric pulse controller and an electrode. The external voice processing device also comprises a physiological information detection unit and the internal implanted device also comprises an amplifying circuit and a communication circuit. The electrode is used for stimulating blood vessel and neuron tissue in the cochlea through light, electricity and magnetic medium, as well as sending evoked signals obtained by measuring the stimulation. The amplifying circuit is used for amplifying the evoked signals. The communication circuit is used for sending the amplified evoked signals to the physiological information detection unit by radio propagation. The physiological information detection unit is used for measuring the physiological information of the human body and computing the physiological parameters according to the physiological information. The electronic cochlea of the invention can realize various physiological information detection functions.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an electronic cochlear. Background technique [0002] Hearing impairment is a relatively common disease in contemporary society. These deaf patients cannot communicate with others in language, which brings heavy economic burden and psychological pressure to society, family and individual. Cochlear implants are a technology that can help the deaf to restore their hearing. There are currently more than 100,000 cochlear implant users worldwide. Cochlear implants are also an important device to help children who are born deaf learn language. In addition, with the increasing aging of the global population, the proportion of the elderly population in the social population is gradually increasing, and the vast majority of elderly people have severe hearing impairment, and more and more elderly people are using cochlear implants. [0003] Cochlear electronics mainly include two parts: an external speech processing device worn outside...
