  • Cochlear implant fitting system
    Patent number: 9067069
    Abstract: A system for electrically stimulating a first cochlear implant includes (a) an electrode contact simultaneously transmitting a first electrical stimulus from stimulation hardware to a first ear fitted with the first cochlear implant and a second stimulus from the stimulation hardware to a second ear, the second stimulus being one of electrical and acoustical; (b) a component establishing a plurality of frequency-to-electrode maps used to determine the first electrical stimulus; (c) a user-interface component permitting a user to adjust the frequency-to-electrode maps and receive the corresponding auditory stimulation in the first cochlear implant; (d) a component storing the frequency-to-electrode maps; and (e) a display component displaying a visual representation of multiple frequency-to-electrode maps to facilitate a comparison between the frequency-to-electrode maps in making a determination by a user of a most desired frequency-to-electrode map.

  • Cochlear Implant Fitting System
    Publication number: 20110218592
    Abstract: A method comprises adjusting baseline auditory stimulation parameters of a cochlear implant on a living body and providing auditory electrical stimulation to a living body via electrodes of the cochlear implant in combination with adjusting the auditory stimulation parameters of the cochlear implant to the living body in real time, retaining a database of used auditory stimulation parameters for a patient and selecting, in real time, from the database a desired one of the stimulation parameters that produces desired hearing percepts in a patient.
