Abstract

A system and method for the evaluation of hearing implant signal processing is described. A cochlear implant signal processor converts a speech signal input into multi-channel stimulation pulse sequences for a cochlear implant electrode array. A temporal feature processing module extracts temporal feature information from the stimulation pulse sequences. A speech recognition engine evaluates the temporal information using automatic speech recognition to produce speech recognition outputs corresponding to the speech signal input.
