发明名称 Methods and systems of compensating for a disabled electrode
摘要 An exemplary method includes 1) identifying, by a cochlear implant system, an electrode included within an array of electrodes as being a disabled electrode, 2) selecting, by the cochlear implant system, at least two non-adjacent electrodes surrounding the disabled electrode, and 3) simultaneously applying, by the cochlear implant system, stimulation current to the at least two non-adjacent electrodes to compensate for a loss of stimulation resulting from the disabled electrode. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.

主权项 1. A method comprising: identifying, by a cochlear implant system, an electrode included within an array of electrodes as being a disabled electrode; selecting, by the cochlear implant system, at least two non-adjacent electrodes surrounding the disabled electrode; and generating, by the cochlear implant system, a pitch associated with the disabled electrode by simultaneously applying stimulation current to the at least two non-adjacent electrodes.
