Research on Natural Hearing and the Development Toward Artificial Hearing

Abstract

Among all the relationships between the human race and the natural world, the auditory sense is one of the most important means by which information is obtained. In the process of the birth and development of human civilization, hearing is a key factor, which cannot be overlooked. Following along with the rapid development of science and technology, the human race not only gained a deeper and deeper understanding of the structure and functions of the natural hearing system. Moreover, there has been a deeper and deeper interest in research into and applications of artificial hearing systems. Looking from the angle of information processing and functional bionics, the natural hearing system and artificial hearing systems are both information processing systems which receive sound signals and, along with that, carry out synthetic processing of the information which is carried on them. It is obvious that research into natural hearing and the development toward artificial hearing are two aspects of the same problem. The two help each other in their completion and mutually promote each other.
