摘要： A method and apparatus for diagnosing the extent of survival of the peripheral sensori-neural elements within the inner ear of a patient by stimulating the patient with one or more pair of electrical stimulus signals having a known amplitude and inter-signal delay, and by measuring the electrical activity within the nervous system of the patient which results from these stimulus signals and comparing the activity which results from the second stimulus signal with the activity which results from the first stimulus signal.

摘要： A tinnitus suppression device using an in-the-canal external ear canal pressure regulating device to alter the pressure of the fluid of the external ear canal interior of the pressure regulating device. The device has a body which can be inserted into the external ear canal and which seals the canal from ambient pressure. An adjustably sized body such as a collapsible bulbous portion or a bellows type wall provides a mechanism for altering the pressure in the canal. Either a valve or a mechanical displacement device maintains the pressure differential created.

摘要： An electrode adapted to be utilized within the external ear canal for applying/recording electrical signals to/from the neural/neuromuscular system of a person having an external ear canal and adjacent tympanic membrane. The electrode utilizes an elongated flexible body having a proximate end and a distal end. The elongated flexible body is stiff enough to be inserted into the external ear canal but is flexible enough to bend if the electrode is inserted against the tympanic membrane without rupturing the tympanic membrane. A compressible material is mounted at the distal end of the body and an electrically conductive gel is carried by the compressible material. An electrical conductor communicates with the body and electrically couples the conductive gel to the proximate end of the electrode.

摘要： Assessment of neuron excitation is implemented by quantifying the interaction between focused and unfocused stimulation applied to a cochlear array. By applying focused and unfocused stimulation to the electrode array and comparing the difference in the responses to the two types of stimulation the interaction may be determined. The magnitude of the interaction may be related to neural excitation and using this data a neural excitation profile may be determined.

摘要： Aspects provide methods and sound processor for encoding stimulation signals to convey pitch perception information to a recipient. The method may comprise identifying a first stimulation site based on a selected frequency component of the sound signal that contains pitch perception information, wherein a stimulation signal is generated based on the selected frequency component; determining a second stimulation site adjacent to the first stimulation site; and determining a time delay between when the second stimulation site is independently stimulated with the stimulation signal and when the first stimulation site is independently stimulated with the stimulation signal.

摘要： A medical stimulation device such as a cochlear implant configured to provide stimulation of one or more spatially-restricted contiguous portion(s) of the spiral array of auditory nerve fibers in the cochlear (“discrete stimulation regions”). Each discrete stimulation region is defined by the constructive and/or destructive interference of stimulating and limiting signals simultaneously applied to electrode channels of an implanted electrode array, the stimulating and limiting signals being determined based upon transimpedance measurements of intracochlear electrode channels of the implanted electrode array representing specific spread functions of an individual recipient.

摘要： A method for fitting a cochlear implant to a patient. A genetic algorithm operates to generate successive generations of multiple groups of values for a parameter subset, and patient feedback during execution of the genetic algorithm determines the multiple groups of subset values in successive generations. In each generation, half of the groups of values for the parameter subset are selected and used to determine the groups of values for the next generation. Values for the parameters not included in the subset are selected by any traditional method that does not use a genetic algorithm. In one illustrative embodiment of the invention, there are only three parameters in the subset that are selected by a genetic algorithm—parameters relating to rate, number of channels and filtering characteristics.

摘要： A multichannel signal processor for and an auditory prostheses utilizing such a signal processor having a plurality of filters each passing a different center frequency providing a set of filtered signals representative of the auditory content of the electrical input signal relative to its respective center frequency. A plurality of gating mechanisms individually coupled to the filter signals pass an output signal at a level above the perceptual level of the person when the filtered signal is above a predetermined level. The predetermined level is individually determined such that the output is past above the perceptual level only when the level of the filtered signal to which the gating means is coupled is likely to be among the larges of the filtered signals of all of the plurality of filters. Thus the multichannel signal processor in auditory prosthesis can have a combined stimulated signal which contains some, but not all, channels, namely those channels whose amplitude of signal is likely to rank among the highest compared to the amplitude of the remaining channels. In a preferred embodiment, such a channel dominant signal processor will help preserve periodicities created by sharply tuned band pass filters.
