1. A method for predicting outcome of hearing device implantation in a candidate, the method comprising:

  • receiving, into a computing system, training data entered by a set of people, the training data including, respectively for each person of the set, (i) pre-implantation data entered by the person before hearing device implantation in the person, wherein the pre-implantation data entered by the person represents a characterization by the person of one or more pre-implantation levels of hearing performance of the person and a characterization by the person of one or more goals for hearing improvement in the person, and (ii) post-implantation data entered by the person after hearing device implantation in the person, wherein the post-implantation data entered by the person represents a characterization by the person of one or more post-implantation levels of hearing performance of the person;

    receiving, into the computing system, candidate data including pre-implantation data entered by the candidate before hearing device implantation in the candidate, wherein the pre-implantation data entered by the candidate represents a characterization by the candidate of one or more pre-implantation levels of hearing performance of the candidate and a characterization by the candidate of one or more goals for hearing improvement in the candidate; and

    searching by the computing system through the training data to identify one or more people whose entered pre-implantation data matches the pre-implantation data entered the candidate, and outputting by the computing system, as a prediction of outcome of hearing device implantation in the candidate, a representation of the post-implantation data entered by the identified one or more people.
