Abstract

In this paper the digital speech processing part of cochlear implant for sensorineural disorderly patients is implemented and simulated. We implement the speech processing part by dividing into three small parts - Filterbank, Pitch Detect, and Bandmapping parts. With the result, we conclude digital speech processing algorithm is implemented in FPGA perfectly. This means that cochlear implant can be made very small size.
