Simulated output of Continuous Interleaved Sampling and Frequency Amplitude Modulation Encoding techniques used in Cochlear Implant

Abstract

Cochlear Implant (CI) is an excellent electronic device to overcome congenital or profound hearing loss in humans. It provides an alternative to the natural hearing for the hearing-impaired humans in the form of artificial electrical hearing. Several coding techniques such as Continuous interleaved sampling (CIS) and Frequency amplitude modulation encoding (FAME) is used in CI for the conversion of analog signal to the digital one. This study is intended to assess the performance level of these two techniques in music, vowels, words perception with different channels to assess the quality of hearing in hearing impaired person.
