Application of wavelet in speech processing of cochlear implant
Abstract:
Cochlear Implant bypasses damaged hair cells and stimulates the auditory nerve directly in the cochlea. Wavelets are especially useful for speech processing of CI, since in the case of wavelets one speaks of a constant-Q filter bank as well as the cochlea. In this paper, a continuous wavelet has application in the filter bank design and an effective result is obtained. Also the lifting scheme, the so-called second generation of wavelet, is adopted, combined with pitch extraction algorithm, to extract fundamental frequency of speech signal. Veracious result is obtained, which shows the great potential of wavelet an lifting scheme in the application in speech processing strategy for cochlear implants based on characteristics of Chinese language.

Perceiving Loudness, Pitch, and Location
Place theory, or place coding, suggests that different pitches are heard because various sound waves activate specific locations along the cochlea's basilar membrane. The brain determines the pitch of a sound by identifying...
