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
