COCHLEAR IMPLANT SYSTEM WITH MAP OPTIMIZATION USING A GENETIC ALGORITHM

摘要

A method for fitting a cochlear implant to a patient uses a genetic algorith m that operates to generate successive generations of multiple groups of value s for a parameter subset, after the selection of an initial generation (300), and patient feedback (302) during execution of the genetic algorithm determines the multiple groups of subset values in successive generations. I n each generation, half of the groups of values for the parameter subset are selected and used to determine the groups of values for the next generation. Values for the parameters not included in the subset are selected by any traditional method that does not use a genetic algorithm.
