Abstract
A vestibular implant fitting system is described for fitting a vestibular implant to an implanted patient. An event processing module is configured for monitoring extra-clinical operation of the vestibular implant and collecting extra-clinical implant operation information. A signal processing fitting module is configured for determining a body response characteristic of the implanted patient to a vestibular implant stimulus signal during a response measurement period, and setting an operating characteristic of the vestibular implant based on the body response characteristic and the extra-clinical implant operation information.
