Abstract
Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and devices for selecting a scene classification for the operation of a sensory prosthesis, such as a hearing prosthesis. A system of two or more sensory prostheses can receive respective inputs from the environment of a recipient. A scene classification can then be determined for each sensory prosthesis based on the audio input received by each hearing prosthesis. A confidence value can also be determined for each scene classification. A scene classification can then be selected for each sensory prosthesis, from the determined scene classifications, based on the determined confidence values. Such operation can allow each sensory prosthesis to operate according to a respective selected scene classification that could be the same or that could be different from scene classifications selected for other sensory prostheses of the system.
