Abstract
ECochG signals are received and used to classify a state of an inner ear into an appropriate category of a plurality of categories. Each category of the plurality of categories corresponds to a respective feedback of a plurality of feedback, and a feedback of the plurality of feedback is selected and output based on the feedback corresponding to the appropriate category in which the state of the inner ear is classified, thereby indicating the specific state of the inner ear.
Claims24
One or more non-transitory computer readable media, comprising instructions that, when executed by processing circuitry, cause the processing circuitry to:
- receive an electrocochleography (ECochG) signal associated with a recipient;
- classify a state of an inner ear of the recipient into an appropriate category of a plurality of categories based on at least one characteristic of the ECochG signal;
- and
- output feedback in response to classifying the state of the inner ear into the appropriate category.
A method, comprising:
- delivering acoustic stimuli to an ear of a recipient;
- recording a plurality of electrocochleography (ECochG) signals evoked at the ear of the recipient in response to delivery of the acoustic stimuli;
- and
- classifying a state of an inner ear of the recipient into an appropriate category of a plurality of categories based on a characteristic of the plurality of ECochG signals.

A system, comprising:
- an output device;
- a network interface for communication with a medical device comprising a plurality of electrode contacts;
- a memory storing instructions thereon;
- and
- processing circuitry configured to execute the instructions stored on the memory to:
- receive a plurality of electrocochleography (ECochG) signals during implantation of the plurality of electrode contacts into a recipient;
- classify a state of an inner ear of the recipient into an appropriate category of a plurality of categories based on a characteristic of the plurality of ECochG signals, wherein each category of the plurality of categories is associated with respective feedback of a plurality of feedback;
- and
- instruct the output device to output appropriate feedback of the plurality of feedback based on the appropriate feedback corresponding to the appropriate category.
