Parametric fitting of a cochlear implant
First Claim
1. A method of fitting an auditory stimulation system having a plurality of channels to a recipient, the method comprising the steps of:
- establishing an initial current level profile representative of a current level setting spanning across at least some of the plurality of channels; and
adjusting parameters of the initial current level profile in the presence of a stimulation signal.

Abstract
A method of fitting an auditory stimulation system to a recipient the system having a plurality of channels, and the method including the steps of establishing an initial current level profile representative of a current level setting spanning across at least some of the plurality of channels and adjusting parameters of the initial current level profile in the presence of a stimulation signal. There is further included a programming apparatus adapted to be interfaced with the auditory stimulation system to allow manipulation of threshold (T) and comfort (C) levels of the system. The apparatus includes a graphical display means adapted to display a graphical representation of the current profile of the channel array and means for adjusting a current level setting of the current pmfile of the array.
