Abstract
A device for electrical stimulation of neural and/or muscular tissue. The device includes a cochlear implant being equipped with a power source, a speech processor, a microphone adapted to deliver sound signals to said speech processor, a current stimulator, at least an array of electrodes attached to the stimulator, and at least a signal sensor other than the microphone. The device further includes a signal transformation unit, said signal sensors being adapted to capture relevant input information and to deliver a corresponding input signal to the transformation unit, the latter allowing to transform said input signal received from the signal sensors into a modulated electrical output signal adapted to be treated by the speech processor of the cochlear implant.
