Abstract :
Through this paper the implementation of an inner ear model including macromechanics and hair-cell transduction is presented and discussed. Important characteristics of the design are the use of the well-known Meddis´ model for the transduction structure, and the methodology for Design with Reusability employed, which allows future design refinements on an FPGA for real-time speech processing and recognition
