Original Abstract

Fully implantable artificial cochlea in comparison with recent approaches including partially implantable devices is proposed and discussed in this work. The proposed implant consists of subcircuits which are designed in close context to reach optimal performance and the lowest power consumption. Power consumption of the device is decreased to a value which allows designing the device as a zero powered system using energy harvesting. A new technique of output signal generation for nerve stimulation is described. These signal processing circuits powered by energy harvesting power source were designed and simulated in relation to the results of complex electro mechanical diaphragm and SPICE energy harvesting power source simulation.
