Stimulation mode for cochlear implant speech coding

摘要

A method of stimulating an auditory nerve to produce a percept in response to a detected sound signal. At least one characteristic of the sound signal is identified, and a stimulation mode is selected based on the identified characteristic. The selected stimulation mode is then used for stimulating the auditory nerve to convey the sound signal to the prosthesis recipient. Multiple characteristics of the detected sound signal may be assigned distinct stimulation modes.
