摘要： A headpiece for a cochlear implant system includes a transcutaneous transmission coil that transfers power and/or data to an implantable device implanted under a user's skin. The headpiece includes a magnet for holding the transmission coil in close proximity to the receiver coil in the implanted device, which also contains a magnet, and provides the desired alignment between the coils so that inductive coupling may efficiently occur. The headpiece has a bottom surface for skin contact that includes a plurality of flexible bumps configured to distribute pressure over a large surface area while allowing blood flow throughout the area. This also provides friction contact with the skin to help secure the headpiece, reducing movement due to lateral loading, while reducing skin irritation and erosion.

摘要： Optimizing pitch allocation in a cochlear stimulation system may include implanting an electrode array having a plurality of electrodes into the cochlea of a patient, where the electrode array has an associated implant fitting characteristic that defines a relationship between the implanted electrode array and audio frequencies, presenting sounds through the electrode array to the patient, receiving from the patient a selection of one of the sounds that most closely conforms to a single note, and determining a slope of the implant fitting characteristic of the electrode array based on the sound selected by the patient. Each sound may include a fundamental frequency and one or more harmonics. The optimization may also include changing a center frequency of a band pass filter associated with each electrode based on the determined slope.

摘要： An In The Ear (ITE) microphone improves the acoustic response of a Behind The Ear (BTE) Implantable Cochlear Stimulation (ICS) system during telephone use. An acoustic seal provided by holding a telephone earpiece against the ear provides improved coupling of low frequency (up to about 1 KHz) sound waves, sufficient to overcome losses due to the near field acoustic characteristics common to telephones. In an exemplary embodiment, the ITE microphone is connected to a removable ear hook of the BTE ICS system by a short bendable stalk.

摘要： Exemplary cochlear implant systems include an implantable cochlear stimulator configured to be implanted within a patient and generate a stimulation current having an adjustable current level, one or more electrodes communicatively coupled to the stimulator and configured to apply the stimulation current to one or more locations within an ear of the patient, and a sound processor configured to derive an acoustic reflectance of the patient's ear. The implantable cochlear stimulator is configured to adjust the current level of the stimulation current until the sound processor detects a change in the acoustic reflectance above a threshold.

摘要： An adaptive place-pitch ranking procedure for use with a cochlear implant or other neural stimulation system provides a systematic method for quantifying the magnitude and direction of errors along the place-pitch continuum. The method may be conducted and completed in a relatively short period of time. In use, the implant user or listener is asked to rank the percepts obtained after a sequential presentation of monopolar stimulation pulses are applied to a selected spatially-defined electrode pair. The spatially-defined electrode pair may be a physical electrode pair or a virtual electrode pair. A virtual electrode pair includes at least one virtual electrode contact. Should the patient's judgment of pitch order be correct for all applied interrogations, then no further testing involving the tested electrode pair (two electrode contacts) is undertaken. However, should there be errors in the place-pitch ranking, which errors evidence perceptual place-confusions, then a search is undertaken for the spread of the perceptual confusion. This search for the spread of confusion continues until no errors are made in all directions. Identified channels wherein pitch confusion exists may be de-selected (not used) during normal operation of the cochlear implant or other neural stimulation system.
摘要翻译：用于耳蜗植入物或其他神经刺激系统的自适应放置间距分级程序提供了一种用于量化沿着位置 - 俯仰连续体的误差的大小和方向的系统方法。该方法可以在相当短的时间内进行和完成。在使用中，要求植入用户或收听者将单极刺激脉冲的顺序呈现施加到所选择的空间限定电极对之后获得的感知进行排名。空间限定的电极对可以是物理电极对或虚拟电极对。虚拟电极对包括至少一个虚拟电极触点。如果患者对所有应用询问的音调顺序的判断是正确的，则不进行涉及被测电极对（两个电极接触）的进一步测试。然而，如果地方间距排序有错误，哪些错误证据感知地点混淆，那么就会对感知混乱的扩散进行搜索。这种寻求混乱的传播继续下去，直到在所有方向没有错误。在耳蜗植入物或其他神经刺激系统的正常操作期间，存在音高混乱存在的识别的通道可被取消选择（未使用）。
