Abstract: An exemplary system includes an implantable stimulator configured to be implanted within a recipient and apply electrical stimulation configured to treat tinnitus within the recipient. The system further includes an implantable sensor configured to be implanted within the recipient and output first sensor data representative of a first property associated with the recipient. The system further includes an external sensor configured to be external to the recipient and output second sensor data representative of a second property associated with the recipient. The system further includes a controller communicatively coupled to the implant, the implantable sensor, and the external sensor. The controller is configured to receive the first and second sensor data, and control, based on the first and second sensor data, the electrical stimulation.

Abstract: An illustrative cochlear implant system includes an electrode lead having an array of electrodes, a cochlear implant coupled with the electrode lead and configured to be implanted within a recipient together with the electrode lead, and a processing unit communicatively coupled to the cochlear implant. The processing unit is configured to direct the cochlear implant to apply stimulation to the recipient by way of the array of electrodes. The processing unit is further configured to detect, by way of one or more electrodes included in the array of electrodes, a cortical potential produced by the recipient. Based on the detected cortical potential, the processing unit is configured to determine a fitting parameter associated with the cochlear implant system. Corresponding systems and methods are also disclosed.

Abstract: An illustrative system includes a stimulation device configured to apply stimulation to a recipient, a sensing device configured to detect a physiological condition of the recipient, and a processing unit communicatively coupled to the stimulation device and the sensing device. The processing unit determines a stimulation strategy that is customized to the recipient and includes stimulation frames and stimulation gaps. The processing unit then directs the stimulation device to apply the stimulation to the recipient in accordance with the stimulation strategy by applying the stimulation only during time that corresponds to the stimulation frames. The processing unit also directs the sensing device to detect the physiological condition of the recipient in accordance with the stimulation strategy by detecting only during time that corresponds to the stimulation gaps. Based on the detected physiological condition, the processing unit performs an action.
