  • Patent number: 10412515
    Abstract: The present invention relates to recipient fitting of a hearing device. An embodiment of the present invention determines the transmission loss for sound applied to the recipient by the hearing device. Separate gains are then determined for compensating for the determined transmission loss and the measured hearing loss of the recipient. For example, in an embodiment, the hearing device may compensate for transmission losses in a 1:1 manner (i.e., the transmission loss in 100% compensated for). The hearing device may apply a different gain to compensate for the hearing loss, such as a gain that is a fraction (e.g., 33-55%) of the measured hearing loss.

  • Patent number: 9635479
    Abstract: The present application discloses systems and methods to analyze feedback path information during a fitting session. In accordance with one embodiment, a method is provided and includes during a fitting session, calculating a feedback gain margin of a hearing prosthesis by causing the hearing prosthesis to receive a test signal, output an output signal based on the test signal, and receive a feedback signal based on the output of the output signal, the test signal being configured to test a different parameter of the hearing prosthesis.

  • Publication number: 20130345775
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for determining control settings used by a hearing prosthesis to process a sound are disclosed. A first model output based on control settings is received by a computing device configured to fit the hearing prosthesis to a user. A difference between the first model output and a reference output based on normal human hearing at a target frequency is determined. If the difference between the first model output and the reference output at the target frequency is within a specification, the computing device sends a signal to the hearing prosthesis that includes information indicative of the control settings.
