1. A method comprising:
- detecting, by a fitting subsystem, a communicative coupling of a cochlear implant associated with a patient to a sound processor connected to the fitting subsystem; and
automatically determining, by the fitting subsystem in response to the communicative coupling, an implant side associated with the cochlear implant in accordance with one or more implant side selection factors.

Abstract
An exemplary method includes a fitting subsystem detecting a communicative coupling of a cochlear implant associated with a patient to a sound processor connected to the fitting subsystem and automatically determining, in response to the communicative coupling, an implant side associated with the cochlear implant in accordance with one or more implant side selection factors. Corresponding methods and systems are also described.

24. A method comprising:
-
detecting, by a fitting subsystem, a communicative coupling of a cochlear implant associated with a patient to a sound processor connected to the fitting subsystem; automatically selecting, by the fitting subsystem, an implant side of the cochlear implant in accordance with one or more implant side selection factors; automatically populating, by the fitting subsystem, an implant record associated with the cochlear implant with data representative of the selected implant side; and presenting, by the fitting subsystem within a graphical user interface, information indicative of the selected implant side.

25. A system comprising:
-
a detection facility configured to detect a communicative coupling of a cochlear implant associated with a patient to a sound processor connected to a fitting station; and an implant side management facility communicatively coupled to the detection facility and configured to automatically determine, in response to the communicative coupling, an implant side associated with the cochlear implant in accordance with one or more implant side selection factors.
