SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ELICITING A STAPEDIAL REFLEX TO PROTECT HEARING |
| 摘要 |
An exemplary system includes 1) a sound detector configured to detect an audio signal, 2) an implantable stimulator configured to be implanted within a user, and 3) a sound processor communicatively coupled to the implantable cochlear stimulator and the sound detector. The sound processor is configured to determine that a level of the audio signal exceeds a predetermined threshold and direct, in response to the determination that the level of the audio signal exceeds the predetermined threshold, the implantable stimulator to elicit a stapedial reflex within the user by applying electrical stimulation to one or more stimulation sites within the user. Corresponding systems and methods are also disclosed. |

1. A system comprising:
a sound detector configured to detect an audio signal; an implantable stimulator configured to be implanted within a user; and a sound processor communicatively coupled to the implantable stimulator and the sound detector, the sound processor configured to
determine that a level of the audio signal exceeds a predetermined threshold, anddirect, in response to the determination that the level of the audio signal exceeds the predetermined threshold, the implantable stimulator to elicit a stapedial reflex within the user by applying electrical stimulation to one or more stimulation sites within the user. |
