This study assessed the influence of 'non-ideal' operating conditions typical of cochlear implants (CIs) on the behavior of the wavelet transform (WT) when used to process speech. Particular attention was given to the effect of limited stimulation rate and limited number of channels, typical of CI speech processing, on the performance of the WT. Computer simulations and psychoacoustic recognition tests of WT-processed speech were implemented. The crucial role played by the 'non-ideal' operating conditions on WT speech processing was put in evidence. Psychoacoustic recognition tests proved to be fundamental to evaluate feasibility of WT speech processing for CIs.

D003054 Cochlear Implants Electronic hearing devices typically used for patients with normal outer and middle ear function, but defective inner ear function. In the COCHLEA, the hair cells (HAIR CELLS, VESTIBULAR) may be absent or damaged but there are residual nerve fibers. The device electrically stimulates the COCHLEAR NERVE to create sound sensation.
