Abstract

Techniques for addressing impulse sounds in an auditory prosthesis. The auditory prosthesis comprises a sound processor that is configured to convert received sound signals into output signals for use in generating stimulation for delivery to a recipient of the auditory prosthesis. The sound processor comprises an impulse-aware gain system that is configured to generate a time-variable gain for the application to the audio signal. The time-variable gain applied to the audio signal is dependent on both a level of the audio signal and the presence or absence of impulse sounds in the audio signal.
