摘要： A hearing aid is disclosed, which, in a test mode, can determine the impedance of the transducer that stimulates the anatomy of the patient. Impedance may be determined by simultaneous determination of the current flowing through the transducer and the voltage across the transducer. In some cases, the output amplifier of the hearing aid includes two outputs, with one being a scaled and/or summed replica of the other. The amplifier is driven with a periodic signal with a particular frequency and a known peak voltage. The periodic signal may be sinusoidal. The primary output of the amplifier is electrically connected to the transducer, with a known current given by the peak input current and a known gain of the amplifier. The voltage from the secondary output of the amplifier is measured. The impedance is calculated by dividing the measured voltage from the secondary output of the amplifier by the known current.

摘要： A hearing aid is disclosed, having the ability to generate its own open-loop feedback scan of amplitude (as gain or attenuation) and phase, as a function of frequency. The hearing aid has a sensor that receives ambient sound from near a patient, and a driver that stimulates the anatomy of the patient. The hearing aid has an operational mode in which the driver stimulates the anatomy of the patient in response to the sound received at the sensor. The hearing aid has a test mode in which a test frequency is stepped through a predetermined range of frequencies. At each test frequency, the driver is driven with a sinusoidal driver signal at the test frequency, the sensor detects a sinusoidal sensor signal at the test frequency, and a comparison of the sensor signal to the driver signal produces an amplitude (gain or attenuation) and a phase for the test frequency.

摘要： Cochlear implant systems can include a cochlear electrode and a stimulator in electrical communication with the cochlear electrode. The stimulator can be in communication with a controller, which is in communication with a testing circuit and a switching network. The stimulator can include a plurality of source elements. The controller can control the switching network to place the plurality of source elements into communication with the testing circuit. The controller can further cause one of the plurality of source elements to emit an electrical current and can determine an amount of electrical current emitted from the source element using the testing circuit. The controller can compare the determined amount of electrical current emitted by the source element with a prescribed current. The controller can adjust the output of each of the plurality of source elements based on the determined amount of electrical current emitted by the stimulator.

摘要： Cochlear implant systems can comprise a cochlear implant system comprising a cochlear electrode, a stimulator in electrical communication with the cochlear electrode, a return electrode, and one or more controllers. The cochlear electrode can include a first contact electrode and the stimulator can include a first source element in electrical communication with the first contact electrode. The one or more controllers can be configured to cause the stimulator to emit a predetermined current from the first source element to the return electrode via a first current path and determine a first voltage at the first contact electrode and a second voltage at the return electrode. The one or more controllers can determine an impedance associated with the first current path and determine one or more stimulation parameters, such as a compliance voltage for sourcing a prescribed current, for the source element based on the determined impedance.

摘要： Systems including a rechargeable energy storage device can include a temperature sensor and a controller configured to receive temperature information representative of a temperature proximate the rechargeable energy storage device. The controller can be configured to receive or determine a second charging parameter associated with the charging of the rechargeable energy storage device, such as charging duration, and compare the temperature or the second parameter to a corresponding threshold. If the parameter associated with the charging the rechargeable energy storage device (e.g., charging duration and/or the temperature information) exceeds the corresponding threshold, the controller can reduce the amount of electrical current provided to the rechargeable energy storage device during charging. This can enable charging the rechargeable energy storage device at a maximum rate without exceeding thermal dose safety standards associated with charging the rechargeable energy storage device.

摘要： Cochlear implant systems can comprise an implantable subsystem comprising a cochlear electrode, a stimulator, a battery, and a first near field communication interface positioned subcutaneously proximate an ear canal. Cochlear implant systems can further comprise a removable earplug comprising a sensor, a second near field communication interface, and a signal processor. The removable earplug can be inserted into an ear canal to align the first and second near field communication interfaces. Once aligned, the battery can provide electrical power to the removable earplug via the near field communication interfaces. The signal processor can receive input signals from the sensor of the removable earplug and generate a stimulation signal representative of the auditory signals. The signal processor can communicate the stimulation signal to the stimulator via the near field communication interfaces.
