Abstract

A signal processing method for cochlear implant is performed by a speech processor and comprises a noise reduction stage and a signal compression stage. The noise reduction stage can efficiently reduce noise in a electrical speech signal of a normal speech. The signal compression stage can perform good signal compression to enhance signals to stimulate cochlear nerves of a patient with hearing loss. The patient who uses a cochlear implant performing the signal processing method of the present disclosure can accurately hear normal speech.
