Perception-based parametric fitting of a prosthetic hearing device
First Claim
1. A method of adjusting an established initial operational settings profile, the operational settings profile having two or more operational setting values for a speech processor of a recipient'"'"'s cochlear implant, comprising:
- setting one or more profile adjustment functions with one or more function parameters, wherein said one or more profile adjustment functions comprise a tilt function; and
modifying concurrently said two or more operational setting values in said operational settings profile using set one or more profile adjustment functions, wherein said two or more operational setting values comprise threshold (T) and comfort (C) levels.
