Abstract
A signal processing method in 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 hearing loss patient. The patient who uses a cochlear implant performing the signal processing method of the present invention can understand normal speech.
