“Cochlear Implant Simulation” is a software application that allows to simulate
how the sound is perceived by a subject who has received a cochlear implant.
The main functions of this application are:
-
Reading a sound file in “wav” format or recording an audio signal from
the computer audio input.
-
Configuring parameters which are used for simulation. Different situations
with respect to sound perception by a cochlear implant user can be
simulated by modifying these parameters.
- Obtaining a new audio signal, from the original one (“wav” file or recorded
sound), synthesized according to the selected simulation parameters. This
new signal represents how the original sound would be perceived by the
implanted subject.
- Playing and saving original and synthesized audio signals.
The software application can be executed in a PC computer with Windows
operating system. The application “Cochlear Implant Simulation” version 2.0
has been developed at the University of Granada. This version was finished in
December 2004.
