AUTOMATIC MEASUREMENT OF AN EVOKED NEURAL RESPONSE CONCURRENT WITH AN INDICATION OF A PSYCHOPHYSICS REACTION
First Claim
1. A method of fitting to a recipient a cochlear implant including a plurality of stimulation channels, comprising:
- applying to at least one stimulation channel of the cochlear implant a first stimulus signal comprising a neural response component and a psychophysics signal component;
automatically measuring an evoked compound action potential (ECAP) of the recipient evoked in response to the application of the neural response component of the first stimulus signal; and
simultaneously providing to a user an indication of the automatically measured ECAP and a value of the applied psychophysics signal component.

Abstract
A method of fitting to a recipient a cochlear implant including a plurality of stimulation channels. The method comprises applying to at least one stimulation channel of the cochlear implant a first stimulus signal comprising a neural response component and a psychophysics signal component, automatically measuring a strength of an evoked compound action potential (ECAP) of the recipient evoked in response to the application of the neural response component of the first stimulus signal, and simultaneously providing to a user an indication of the automatically measured strength of the ECAP and a value of the applied psychophysics signal component.
