BINAURAL SOUND-PROCESSING SYSTEM FOR COCHLEAR IMPLANTS

摘要

The invention allows optimization of hearing and improvement of communication in users with auditory dysfunction (hypoacusis), permitting enhanced acoustic sensitivity and tuning in noisy surroundings and environments, e.g. cafeterias, bars, restaurants, etc. More specifically, the binaural sound-processing system (1) described herein is based on a combined, coordinated operating mode involving two sound processors (20), each installed so as to correspond to the user's ears. Thus, by means of this special link between the operating modes of the two sound processors (20), it is possible to obtain, at the output of each, a final stimulation pattern that is more "natural" and adjusted to the real acoustic conditions of each moment or situation.
