Abstract
An exemplary method includes a fitting subsystem 1) receiving a request to register a cochlear implant emulation device with the fitting subsystem, 2) initiating, in response to the request, a registration process, 3) obtaining, during the registration process, a unique identifier for the cochlear implant emulation device, and 4) registering, during the registration process, the cochlear implant emulation device with the fitting subsystem, the registering including storing the unique identifier in registration data maintained by the fitting subsystem. Corresponding systems and methods are also described.
Claims15
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a fitting subsystem, a request to register a cochlear implant emulation device with the fitting subsystem, wherein the cochlear implant emulation device is not implanted within a cochlear implant patient and is bundled with a resistive load configured to emulate an actual load of an implanted cochlear device that is implanted within the cochlear implant patient;
- initiating, by the fitting subsystem in response to the request, a registration process;
- obtaining, by the fitting subsystem during the registration process, a unique identifier for the cochlear implant emulation device;
- and
- registering, by the fitting subsystem during the registration process, the cochlear implant emulation device with the fitting subsystem, the registering including storing the unique identifier in registration data maintained by the fitting subsystem.
A system comprising:
- at least one computing device that:
- receives a request to register a cochlear implant emulation device with the at least one computing device, wherein the cochlear implant emulation device is not implanted within a cochlear implant patient and is bundled with a resistive load configured to emulate an actual load of an implanted cochlear device that is implanted within the cochlear implant patient;
- initiates, in response to the request, a registration process;
- obtains, during the registration process, a unique identifier for the cochlear implant emulation device;
- and
- registers, during the registration process, the cochlear implant emulation device with the at least one computing device, the registering including storing the unique identifier in registration data maintained by the at least one computing device.
