摘要: An exemplary system includes a sensor configured to output sensor data and a hearing device comprising a processor. The processor of the hearing device may be configured to detect, based on the sensor data, a triggering event that occurs during use of the hearing device by a recipient of the hearing device. The triggering event may be indicative of possible damage to at least one of the hearing device or the recipient. The processor may further, apply, in response to the detecting of the triggering event, stimulation to the recipient, detect a signal that occurs in response to the stimulation and that is recorded by an electrode associated with the hearing device, compare the signal to a baseline signal recorded by the electrode prior to the triggering event, and determine, based on the comparing of the signal to the baseline signal, an operational effectiveness state of the hearing device.

摘要: An illustrative timing-based power control apparatus includes a signal generation circuit and a power control circuit. The signal generation circuit is configured to generate a carrier signal for wireless transmission of output power and output data, the carrier signal associated with a first fundamental component having a particular frequency, a particular phase, and a first amplitude. The power control circuit is configured to generate a time-adjusted version of the carrier signal that maintains an amplitude of the carrier signal and adjusts a timing profile of the carrier signal such that a second fundamental component associated with the time-adjusted version of the carrier signal has the particular frequency, the particular phase, and a second amplitude lower than the first amplitude. The second amplitude may be associated with a target power level for the output power of the wireless transmission. Corresponding systems and methods are also disclosed.

摘要: An illustrative sound calibration system is configured to direct a loudspeaker to present a sound to a recipient by way of a length of tubing extending from the loudspeaker to an ear tip disposed at an ear canal of the recipient. The directing is configured to cause the sound to have a target sound pressure level at the ear canal. The system is further configured to obtain, from a probe microphone disposed within the ear tip, a detected sound pressure level of the sound as the sound is presented at the ear canal. The system is further configured to identify a discrepancy between the detected and target sound pressure levels of the sound as the sound is presented at the ear canal, and, based on the identified discrepancy, to direct a remedial action to be performed to compensate for the discrepancy. Corresponding systems and methods are also disclosed.

摘要: An illustrative system includes a cochlear implant, a lead configured to be inserted into a cochlea of a patient by way of an insertion procedure, a plurality of electrodes disposed on the lead and including an intracochlear electrode and an extracochlear electrode, a probe coupled to the extracochlear electrode, and a processor communicatively coupled with the probe and the cochlear implant. During the insertion procedure, the processor directs the cochlear implant to short the intracochlear and extracochlear electrodes, then detects, by way of the probe and the shorted intracochlear and extracochlear electrodes, evoked responses measured at the intracochlear electrode. The evoked responses include a first evoked response measured at a first insertion depth and a second evoked response measured at a second insertion depth. The processor generates, based on the first and second evoked responses, a notification indicating that cochlear trauma has likely occurred at the second insertion depth.
