Normalization fitting method

A method, comprising, in a same fitting session of a single recipient:

• obtaining data indicative of respective perceived sensory levels for a plurality of sensory percepts respectively evoked based on respective different stimulus having respective first different stimulus levels, wherein the respective evoked sensory percepts are evoked with respective different energy outputs of a sensory device;
• obtaining data indicative of statistical stimulus levels for a statistically significant population for the respective different stimulus having respective different first stimulus levels;
• configuring the sensory device to automatically evoke sensory percepts, in response to sound captured by the sensory device having respective second different stimulus levels corresponding to the respective first different stimulus levels, at respective new different energy levels different from those used to evoke the respective sensory percepts, for respective new respective stimulus having the respective first different stimulus levels, based on the obtained data indicative of statistical stimulus levels;
• obtaining second data indicative of respective second perceived stimulus levels for a second plurality of sensory percepts respectively evoked based on respective second different stimulus having respective third different stimulus levels, wherein the respective second evoked sensory percepts are evoked with respective second different energy outputs of the sensory device;
• obtaining second data indicative of statistical stimulus levels for the statistically significant population for the respective second different stimulus having respective different third stimulus levels;
• and
• configuring the sensory device to automatically evoke sensory percepts, in response to stimulus captured by the sensory device having respective fourth different stimulus levels corresponding to the respective third different stimulus levels, at respective second new different energy levels different from those used to evoke the respective second sensory percepts, for respective second new respective stimulus having the respective third different stimulus levels, based on the obtained second data indicative of statistical stimulus levels.

A fitting system, comprising:

• a sub-system configured to obtain statistical perceived loudness data;
• a sub-system configured to obtain hearing device recipient-specific loudness data for a plurality of different stimulus having at least some loudness levels corresponding to those of the statistical perceived loudness data;
• and
• a sub-system configured to configure a hearing device based on the obtained statistical data and the obtained recipient-specific loudness data, wherein
• the fitting system is configured to configure the hearing device based on the obtained statistical data and the obtained recipient-specific loudness data by adjusting an output energy level of the hearing device based on a respective recipient-specific loudness data for another output energy level, wherein the adjusted output energy level is at or proximate the another output energy level.

A method, comprising:

• obtaining data indicative of respective perceived loudnesses for a plurality of sensory percepts respectively evoked based on different electrical stimulation signals of a sensory stimulator sensory stimulator;
• creating a program for the sensory stimulator based on the obtained data by adjusting at least one of the respective electrical stimulation signals based on data of a respective perceived loudness for other electrical stimulation signals;
• and
• configuring the sensory stimulator to have the created program, wherein
• at least one of:
• the action of creating a program includes adjusting a loudness scaling test dataset based on statistical data;
• the method further includes identifying electrical stimulation signal(s) corresponding to a threshold level for a recipient of the sensory stimulator;
• the different electrical stimulation signals are based on sound captured by a microphone of the sensory stimulator;
• the method further includes identifying electrical stimulation signal(s) corresponding to a comfort level for the recipient;
• or
• the adjustment of the at least one of the respective electrical stimulation signals results in a plurality of different current levels located between a current level used with the electrical stimulation signals corresponding to the threshold level and a current level used with the electrical stimulation signals corresponding to the comfort level.
