Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for processing an auditory signal to generate auditory prosthesis electrode stimuli in response to an incoming acoustic signal are disclosed. An example method includes dividing the incoming acoustic signal into one or more frequency envelopes. The example method also includes determining which auditory prosthesis electrodes to stimulate. The example method additionally includes determining a temporal reference point to which auditory prosthesis electrode stimuli are referenced. The example method further includes determining a delay for each of the auditory prosthesis electrode stimuli from the temporal reference point. The example method yet further includes determining amplitudes of the auditory prosthesis electrode stimuli. The example method also includes determining a wait period length before each successive temporal reference point.

Abstract: A sub-cranial vibratory stimulator that at least partially bypasses a recipient's skull bone and delivers vibration to fluid within a recipient's skull bone. The sub-cranial vibratory stimulator comprises an actuator that is configured to be implanted beneath a recipient's skull bone. The actuator transfers vibration to the fluid within the recipient's skull without first passing through the skull bone. The actuator is also substantially mechanically decoupled (isolated) from the recipient's skull bone.

Abstract: Presented herein are tissue-stimulating prostheses that deliver magnetic stimulation to a recipient. The magnetic stimulation is delivered to the nerve cells through the use of one or more implantable magnetic stimulation coils, such as stimulation coils and/or extra-cochlear stimulation coils.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and devices for mitigating the impact of noise, such a low-frequency noise caused by wind, on sounds received at a hearing prosthesis. An example method includes receiving an external sound signal transduced externally to a recipient from an ambient sound and an internal sound signal transduced internally to the recipient from the ambient sound. The example method also includes determining that a triggering condition is present in the external sound signal. The triggering condition may be indicative of a condition in that more adversely affects externally-received sounds than internally-received sounds. In response to determining that the triggering condition is present in the external sound signal, the example method further includes generating a stimulation signal that is based at least in part on spectral information of the internally-transduced sound.

Abstract: A method for determining the level of stimulation signals generated by an auditory prosthesis as a result of processing an electrical audio signal representative of sound is disclosed, the method comprising: converting the audio signal into a plurality of frequency-based signal components; analyzing one or more of the signal components to determine a quantity associated with the presence of a target signal in the analyzed signal component; and calculating the signal level based on the determined quantity when the determined quantity indicates a target signal is sufficiently present in the audio signal.
