Engineering Challenges in the Design of Cochlear Implants

Abstract

Hearing aids such as cochlear implants have been used by both adults and children for a long time. In addition, cochlear implants are used by patients who have severe hearing loss either by birth or after an accident. This paper aims to investigate the engineering challenges bounding the design of cochlear implants and present its possible solution to improve the design of implants. First, a detailed introduction of considered implants is given, followed by aspiration and advantages. Numerous engineering challenges in cochlear implants must be addressed, such as selecting and installing electrodes array inside the cochlea, dealing with the problems that occur during speech processing, noise reduction, etc. A detailed process of continuous interleaved sample scheme is also illustrated to understand the working of bionic implants. In the end, future considerations regarding improvements in cochlear implants have been suggested.
