Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Control for hearing prosthesis fitting." This method involves adjusting parameters of a hearing prosthesis system by shifting an audiogram associated with a first stimulator. It applies a prescription rule using the shifted audiogram to adjust a cross-over frequency that defines two frequency ranges. The first stimulator applies stimulation signals in the first frequency range, while a second stimulator applies signals in the second frequency range. The method also determines gain and maximum power output (MPO) levels for the first frequency range associated with the first stimulator.
