Abstract
The invention relates to a method and a cochlear implant system comprising; a microphone unit configured to receive an acoustical signal and transmit an audio signal based on the acoustical signal, a processor unit configured to receive the audio signal and process the audio signal into a plurality channels that are then used to generate a plurality of electrode pulses, an electrode array including a plurality of electrodes (M) configured to stimulate auditory nerves of a user of the cochlear implant system based on the plurality of electrode pulses, and wherein the processor unit is configured to assign an importance value to one or more electrodes of the plurality of electrodes, wherein each of the importance values is determined based on a status of an electrode pulse assigned to the respective electrode, and wherein the status of the electrode pulse of the plurality of electrode pulses is determined based on a masking model of across-electrode interferences imposed on that electrode pulse by other electrode pulses of the plurality of electrode pulses.
