ABSTRACT |
The speech coding strategy is one of the important parts influencing the performance of the cochlear implant system. This process extracts crucial features in speech sounds and processes electrical versions of them to stimulate residual auditory neurons effectively. The nature of strategies can be classified as pulsatile, analog, and mixed waveform stimulations depending on waveform morphologies. The number of channels at the time of stimulation determines the modes of simultaneous, sequential, and mixed time base stimulations. The modes of stimulation can, even, be mixed as in electrical and acoustical stimulation (EAS). There have been diverse variations and the corresponding names of coding strategies for these stimulations. Currently, new types of coding strategies keep emerging: some are available now and others are waiting for clinical evaluations. Developing effective coding strategies seems to involve evaluating the performance in clinical trials based on auditory neural response data to the electrical stimulation. |
