Methods and systems of adjusting one or more perceived attributes of an audio signal
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- mapping, by a translation facility, a single audible attribute of an audio signal as perceived by a patient to a plurality of electrical control parameters governing an operation of an implantable cochlear stimulator;
receiving, by the translation facility, data representative of an input command configured to effectuate a desired change in the perceived single audible attribute;
indirectly adjusting, by the translation facility and based on the mapping of the perceived single audible attribute to the plurality of electrical control parameters, the plurality of electrical control parameters in response to the input command configured to effectuate the desired change in the perceived single audible attribute; and
directing, by the translation facility, the implantable cochlear stimulator to apply electrical stimulation to one or more stimulation sites within the patient in accordance with the plurality of indirectly adjusted electrical control parameters.

Abstract
An exemplary method of adjusting one or more perceived attributes of an audio signal includes mapping each of the plurality of perceived attributes to one or more control parameters governing an operation of an implantable cochlear stimulator, receiving data representative of an input command to adjust one or more of the perceived attributes, adjusting at least one of the one or more control parameters in response to the received input command and in accordance with the mapping of the perceived attributes to the one or more control parameters, and directing the implantable cochlear stimulator to apply electrical stimulation to one or more stimulation sites within the patient in accordance with the at least one adjusted control parameter. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.

15. A system comprising:
-
an implantable cochlear stimulator configured to apply electrical stimulation representative of an audio signal to one or more stimulation sites within a patient in accordance with a plurality of electrical control parameters; and a translation facility communicatively coupled to the implantable cochlear stimulator and configured to map a single audible attribute of an audio signal as perceived by a patient to the plurality of electrical control parameters, receive data representative of an input command configured to effectuate a desired change in the perceived single audible attribute, indirectly adjust, based on the mapping of the perceived single audible attribute to the plurality of electrical control parameters, the plurality of the electrical control parameters in response to the input command configured to effectuate the desired change in the perceived single audible attribute, and direct the implantable cochlear stimulator to apply electrical stimulation to the one or more stimulation sites in accordance with the plurality of indirectly adjusted electrical control parameters. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)
