Funded Activity Summary

This project aims to improve cochlear implant users’ perception of speech, particularly in noisy environments, by developing a new sound processing strategy that is based on the human physiological response to sound. To date, cochlear implant sound processing strategies have been designed using simple engineering principles. Our new strategy simulates the behaviour of the cochlea and the auditory nerve to give a stimulation sequence closer to normal hearing. This project will demonstrate the feasibility of this approach and show the level of benefit that is provided over existing cochlear implant processing strategies. This project aims to implement the STAR strategy and evaluate its effectiveness for cochlear implant users in comparison to existing commercially available strategies
