Abstract
A method, including obtaining data indicative of respective perceived loudness levels for a plurality of hearing percepts respectively evoked at different current levels, and creating a map for the hearing prosthesis based on the obtained data by adjusting at least one of the respective current levels based on data of a respective perceived loudness for another current level.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- obtaining data indicative of respective perceived loudness levels for a plurality of hearing percepts respectively evoked at different current levels;
- creating a map for the hearing prosthesis based on the obtained data by adjusting at least one of the respective current levels based on data of a respective perceived loudness for another current level;
- and
- configuring the hearing prosthesis to have the created map.

A method, comprising:
- obtaining data indicative of respective perceived loudness levels for a plurality of hearing percepts respectively evoked based on respective different stimulus having respective first different loudness levels, wherein the respective evoked hearing percepts are evoked with respective different energy outputs of a hearing prosthesis;
- obtaining data indicative of normalized loudness levels for normal hearers for the respective different stimulus having respective different first loudness levels;
- and
- configuring the hearing prosthesis to automatically evoke hearing percepts, in response to sound captured by the hearing prosthesis having respective second different loudness levels corresponding to the respective first different loudness levels, at respective new different energy levels different from those used to evoke the respective hearing percepts, for respective new respective stimulus having the respective first different loudness levels, based on the obtained data indicative of normalized loudness levels.

A fitting system, comprising:
- a sub-system configured to obtain statistical perceived loudness data;
- a sub-system configured to obtain hearing prosthesis 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 prosthesis based on the obtained statistical data and the obtained recipient-specific loudness data.
