摘要： An exemplary system includes an electro-acoustic stimulation (EAS) subsystem and a volume control subsystem communicatively coupled to the EAS subsystem. The EAS subsystem is configured to direct a cochlear implant to apply electrical stimulation representative of audio content included in a first frequency band to a patient and to direct a receiver to apply acoustic stimulation representative of audio content included in a second frequency band to the patient. The volume control subsystem is configured to facilitate independent control of a volume associated with the electrical stimulation and a volume associated with the acoustic stimulation. Corresponding systems, devices, and methods are also disclosed.

摘要： Methods and systems for normalizing a spectral profile corresponding to an audio signal include detecting a spectral profile of an incoming audio signal and comparing the spectral profile of the incoming audio signal to a reference spectral profile. The methods further include using the comparison to determine an adjusted spectral profile that more closely matches the reference spectral profile than does the spectral profile of the incoming audio signal and applying electrical stimulation representative of the adjusted spectral profile to a cochlear implant patient.

摘要： An audio system for processing two channels of audio input to provide more than two output channels. The input may be conventional stereo material or compressed audio signal data. The audio processing includes separating the input signals into frequency bands and processing the frequency bands according to processes which may differ from band to band. The audio processing includes no processing of L−R signals.
