An Improvement of Speech Synthesis in Acoustic Simulation Model of Cochlear Implants with CIS Strategy
Abstract:
A cochlear implant is a new device to be implanted in the inner ear and restore partial hearing to profoundly deaf people. This article first presents the acoustic simulation principle based on CIS speech processing strategy, and then proposes an improved speech synthesis model of this acoustic simulation. Finally, on the basis of acoustic simulation experiments□results on normally hearing listeners, we get a close speech recognition to the result of implants patients, and suggest that our improvement be effective on evaluating cochlea processing strategies.

01:22Hair Cells
Hair cells are the sensory receptors of the auditory system—they transduce mechanical sound waves into electrical energy that the nervous system can understand. Hair cells are located in the organ of Corti within the cochlea of the inner ear, between the basilar and tectorial membranes. The actual sensory receptors are called inner hair cells. The outer hair cells serve other functions, such as sound amplification in the cochlea, and are not discussed in detail here.
01:13The Cochlea
The cochlea is a coiled structure in the inner ear that contains hair cells—the sensory receptors of the auditory system. Sound waves are transmitted to the cochlea by small bones attached to the eardrum called the ossicles, which vibrate the oval window that leads to the inner ear. This causes fluid in the chambers of the cochlea to move, vibrating the basilar membrane.
