Abstract

Hearing is the sound depiction of the world for human beings. The ear, or in other world, the peripheral organ of hearing, is an important physiological structure and basis to produce hearing. In order to learn more about hearing organs, the first thing required to know is how hearing is formed, as well as how sound is perceived by us. For this purpose, this paper will examine the matter of identification and processing of in-ear acoustic signals. The main content of this paper are principles of sound, hearing, and signal encoding, as well as their usage in a model which describes the neuron system in cochlear nucleus. In addition, this paper puts forward an application of in-ear signal identifying in hearing aids and cochlear implants by using the convolution signal encoding mode to improve the sound recognition function of these devices and further improve the lives of the hearing impaired. In the end, basic conceptions and related knowledge are organized in this paper. The meanings and problems of this paper are also mentioned in the last section.
