Abstract
An exemplary method of providing a pre-stimulation visual cue representative of a cochlear implant stimulation level includes a fitting subsystem 1) determining one or more control parameters to be used by a cochlear implant system to apply electrical stimulation to a patient, 2) determining, based on the one or more control parameters, a target stimulation level to be used by the cochlear implant system to apply the electrical stimulation to the patient, and 3) displaying a pre-stimulation visual cue indicative of the determined target stimulation level in a graphical user interface prior to the cochlear implant system using the one or more control parameters to apply the electrical stimulation to the patient. Corresponding methods and systems are also described.
