摘要: An illustrative cochlear implant system includes an electrode lead having an array of electrodes, a cochlear implant coupled with the electrode lead and configured to be implanted within a recipient together with the electrode lead, and a processing unit communicatively coupled to the cochlear implant. The processing unit is configured to direct the cochlear implant to apply stimulation to the recipient by way of the array of electrodes. The processing unit is further configured to detect, by way of one or more electrodes included in the array of electrodes, a cortical potential produced by the recipient. Based on the detected cortical potential, the processing unit is configured to determine a fitting parameter associated with the cochlear implant system. Corresponding systems and methods are also disclosed.

摘要: An illustrative system includes a stimulation device configured to apply stimulation to a recipient, a sensing device configured to detect a physiological condition of the recipient, and a processing unit communicatively coupled to the stimulation device and the sensing device. The processing unit determines a stimulation strategy that is customized to the recipient and includes stimulation frames and stimulation gaps. The processing unit then directs the stimulation device to apply the stimulation to the recipient in accordance with the stimulation strategy by applying the stimulation only during time that corresponds to the stimulation frames. The processing unit also directs the sensing device to detect the physiological condition of the recipient in accordance with the stimulation strategy by detecting only during time that corresponds to the stimulation gaps. Based on the detected physiological condition, the processing unit performs an action. Corresponding systems, methods, and apparatuses are also disclosed.

摘要: An exemplary electrode locating system performs an excitation spread measurement by directing a first electrode to generate an electrical pulse and, in response to the generation of the electrical pulse, detecting a voltage between a second electrode and a reference that are both distinct from the first electrode. The first and second electrodes are included in a plurality of electrodes disposed on an electrode lead included within a cochlear implant system and that comprises a proximal portion configured to be coupled with a cochlear implant and a distal portion configured to be inserted into a cochlea of a patient by way of an insertion procedure. Based on the excitation spread measurement, the electrode locating system determines whether at least one of the first electrode and the second electrode is located within the cochlea. Corresponding methods are also described.

摘要: An exemplary insertion management system is configured to direct a cochlear implant to apply electrical stimulation by way of a first electrode disposed on an electrode lead that is being inserted into a cochlea of a recipient, direct the cochlear implant to record, while the electrical stimulation is being applied by way of the first electrode, a differential voltage signal representative of a differential voltage between a second electrode and a third electrode both disposed on the electrode lead, the second and third electrodes different than the first electrode, determine, while the differential voltage signal is being recorded, that a signal characteristic of the differential voltage signal changes by at least a threshold amount, and determine, based on the signal characteristic changing by at least the threshold amount, that a distal end of the electrode lead is positioned within a threshold distance of a basal turn of the cochlea.
