Problems solved by technology

However, the existing cochlear electrons either extract the envelope in the frequency spectrum, or extract speech features, or directly simulate analog stimulation, without the function of synchronizing with harmonics, and a large amount of useful information is lost
Therefore, the...

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of microelectronics, and in particular relates to a harmonic synchronous electronic cochlear developed by applying biomedical electronics and other theories. Background technique [0002] The basic principle of the Cochlear Implant is to directly stimulate the auditory nerve in the cochlea of ​​the deaf with weak current pulses to excite it, so that the deaf can obtain hearing. In the study of cochlear implants, the processing of speech signals is very critical, and the effect of auditory restoration is directly related to the processing method of speech signals. [0003] At present, the processing methods of speech signals can be roughly divided into two categories, one is based on feature extraction, that is, extracting characteristic information such as fundamental frequency and formant of speech signals, and then generating corresponding stimulation signals, such as Nucleus' WSP (wearable speech process...
