Abstract
A low power consuming voice signal processing and control module was designed using a small $\mu$-controller for use in a totally implantable middle ear system. The module was designed that it can control the implanted system as well as process the fitting algorithm of input sound signal. In ordinary operation mode, the $\mu$-controller processes the applied sound signal for compensating the hearing loss of the patients. When the control signal is applied from the IR receiving module, the $\mu$-controller interrupts the signal processing and executes the order of the control signals such as power on/off, volume up/down. The designed module was implemented and verified the performance of the system through several experiments.
