Patent Images
1. A method for at least partially fitting a medical implant system to a patient comprising:
- executing a genetic algorithm to select values for a subset of one or more parameters selected from a plurality of parameters for which values are to be selected to fit said medical implant, wherein said genetic algorithm is operable to generate one or more successive generations of values for said parameter subset; and
determining, based on patient feedback, said values of said values for said parameter subset in each of said one or more successive generations.

Abstract
Apparatus and method for at least partially fitting a cochlear implant system to a patient is described, comprising: executing a genetic algorithm to select values for a subset of one or more parameters selected from a plurality of parameters for which values are to be selected to fit the implant, wherein said genetic algorithm is operable to generate one or more successive generations of values for said parameter subset; and determining, based on patient feedback, said values of said values for said parameter subset in each of said one or more successive generations.
