An improved sound processor for a cochlear implant having electrodes for stimulating the auditory nerve, including means for receiving sounds, means for processing the sounds and converting them to electrical stimulation signals for application to the electrodes of the cochlear implant for stimulation of the auditory nerve, said sound processing means including means for generating electrical signals to be applied to the basal electrodes having different predetermined rates of stimulation and the implant having basal electrodes and apical electrodes and the means for generating electrical signals to be applied to the apical electrodes have a different rate of stimulation, the electrical signals to be applied to the basal electrodes having a higher rate of stimulation than the electrical signals to be applied to the apical electrodes.
Ce processeur perfectionné de sons, destiné à un implant cochléaire, comprend des électrodes de stimulation du nerf auditif, notamment des moyens de réception des sons, des moyens de traitement de ces sons et de conversion de ceux-ci en signaux de stimulation électriques destinés à être appliqués aux électrodes de l'implant aux fins de stimulation du nerf auditif. Les moyens de traitement des sons comprennent des moyens de production de signaux électriques à appliquer aux électrodes basales possédant des fréquences différentes et déterminées de stimulation. L'invention concerne également un implant comprenant des électrodes basales et sommitales, ainsi que des moyens de production de signaux électriques à appliquer aux électrodes sommitales, lesquels possèdent une fréquence de stimulation différente, les signaux électriques à appliquer aux électrodes basales possédant une fréquence sommitales.
