Abstract

Sistema de procesamiento binaural de sonidos para implantes cocleares.#Permite obtener una optimización de la audición y una mejora de la comunicación en usuarios que presentan disfunciones auditivas (hipoacusia), permitiendo aumentar la sensibilidad acústica y la sintonización en ambientes y entornos ruidosos, como son las cafeterías, bares, restaurantes, etc. Más concretamente el sistema de procesamiento binaural (1) de sonidos aquí descrito está basado en un modo de operación combinado y coordinado de dos procesadores (20) de sonidos, instalados cada uno ellos en correspondencia con los oídos del usuario. Así, mediante esa especial vinculación de los modos de operación de los dos procesadores (20) de sonidos es posible obtener a la salida de cada uno de ellos un patrón de estimulación final más “natural” y ajustado a las condiciones acústicas reales de cada momento o situación.Binaural sound processing system for cochlear implants. # It allows to obtain an optimization of the hearing and an improvement of the communication in users who present auditory dysfunctions (hearing loss), allowing to increase the acoustic sensitivity and tuning in noisy environments and environments, such as coffee shops, bars, restaurants, etc. More specifically, the binaural sound processing system (1) described herein is based on a combined and coordinated mode of operation of two sound processors (20), each installed in correspondence with the user's ears. Thus, by means of this special linking of the modes of operation of the two sound processors (20) it is possible to obtain at the output of each one of them a more “natural” final stimulation pattern and adjusted to the actual acoustic conditions of each moment or situation.
