Abstract
An apparatus and method are provided to determine a parameter using an auditory model of a hearing loss patient. The parameter determination apparatus determines a similarity between a neurogram of a normal subject and a neurogram of a hearing loss patient, and determines an optimal frequency band for the hearing loss patient based on the similarity.
Claims15
A parameter determination apparatus, comprising:
- a processor configured to determine a similarity index between a reference neurogram and a patient neurogram;
- and
- a frequency band determiner configured to determine an optimal frequency band based on the similarity index between a reference neurogram and a patient neurogram,
- wherein the optimal frequency band is based on a rate of change of the similarity index as a function of the frequency band, and the optimal frequency band is used to calibrate a hearing device for a hearing loss patient.

An apparatus, comprising:
- a hearing device configured to receive an optimal frequency band for a hearing loss patient and automatically calibrate the hearing device to adapt to the hearing loss patient, wherein the optimal frequency band is based on an auditory model of the hearing loss patient and based on a similarity index between a reference neurogram and a patient neurogram of the hearing loss patient,
- wherein the optimal frequency band is based on a rate of change of the similarity index as a function of the frequency band.
A parameter determination method, comprising:
- determining a similarity index between a reference neurogram and a patient neurogram;
- determining an optimal frequency band between a reference neurogram and a patient neurogram based on the similarity index of the patient neurogram with respect to the reference neurogram;
- and
- applying the optimal frequency band to calibrate a hearing device for a hearing loss patient,
- wherein the determining of the optimal frequency band comprises determining an optimal frequency band based on a rate of change of the similarity index as a function of the frequency band.
