Systems and methods for using a simplified user interface for hearing prosthesis fitting

摘要

The present application discloses systems and methods for displaying and operating a user interface having one or more channel group controllers corresponding to one or more groups of hearing prosthesis channels. The hearing prosthesis may be configured to generate a plurality of signals via a plurality of channels based on a channel profile. The channel profile may define at least one intensity level for each channel. In operation, the user interface may be configured to instruct the hearing prosthesis to change the channel profile of the plurality of channels in response to receiving an input via one of the channel group controllers. The user interface may be used to fit a hearing prosthesis to a recipient. In one embodiment, an initial channel profile may be automatically determined, and the prosthesis channel profile may be adjusted by changing a representative intensity level corresponding to the channel profile.

主权项

1. A method performed by a hearing prosthesis fitting system, the method comprising:
displaying on a display screen of a computing device, a first graphical user interface comprising (i) a first channel group controller configured to control a channel profile of a first group of two or more channels of a hearing prosthesis, wherein the channel profile of the first group of channels comprises at least one intensity level for each channel in the first group of channels and (ii) a representative intensity level for the channel profile of the first group of channels, wherein the representative intensity level for the channel profile of the first group of channels comprises a numerical value based at least in part on one or more of (a) a mean of two or more intensity levels of the channels in the first group of channels, (b) a median of two or more intensity levels of the channels in the first group of channels, (c) a maximum of two or more intensity levels of the channels in the first group of channels, or (d) a minimum of two or more intensity levels of the channels in the first group of channels; receiving a command via the first graphical user interface to change the representative intensity level of the channel profile of the first group of channels of the hearing prosthesis; and in response to receiving the command to change the representative intensity level of the channel profile of the first group of channels of the hearing prosthesis, changing one or more intensity levels of one or more channels in the first group of channels of the hearing prosthesis.
