    Abstract: A sound processing method for auditory prostheses, such as cochlear implants, which is adapted to improve the perception of loudness by users, and to improve speech perception. The overall contribution of stimuli to simulated loudness is compared with an estimate of acoustic loudness for a normally hearing listener based on the input sound signal. A weighting is applied to the filter channels to emphasize those frequencies which are most important to speech perception for normal hearing listeners when selecting channels as a basis for stimulation.

    Abstract: An auditory prosthesis device for selectively stimulating electrodes within an auditory prosthesis electrode array, comprising a transducer (2) for converting a complex acoustic sound into an electrical signal; signal processing means (13) responsive to an electrical signal and generating a temporal pattern of stimulation pulses to selected electrodes within the electrode array, the stimulation pulses being applied to each electrode at an electrode stimulation rate; feature extraction means (14) for deriving an estimate of at least one fundamental frequency of the electrical signal; and stimulation pulse adjustment means (15) for adjusting the stimulation pulses in accordance with the estimated fundamental frequency.
