Abstract
An exemplary emulation system may acoustically isolate the recipient from the local listening environment by disabling a microphone included in the cochlear implant system, receive user input representative of a request to present a sound token to the recipient, generate a modified sound token, and present the modified sound token to the recipient while the microphone is disabled. The modified sound token may be generated by adding a system noise floor of the cochlear implant system to the sound token. Additionally or alternatively, the modified sound token may be generated by adding an environmental noise floor of the remote listening environment to the sound token. Additionally or alternatively, the modified sound token may be generated by filtering the sound token with an acoustic transfer function of the remote listening environment.
