SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR FITTING A COCHLEAR IMPLANT SYSTEM TO A PATIENT BASED ON STAPEDIUS DISPLACEMENT

摘要

An exemplary system includes an implantable cochlear stimulator configured to be implanted within a patient, a sound processor communicatively coupled to the implantable cochlear stimulator and configured to direct the implantable cochlear stimulator to generate and apply electrical stimulation to one or more stimulation sites within a cochlea of the patient, and a displacement sensor assembly configured to measure a displacement of the stapedius of the patient that occurs in response to the application of the electrical stimulation and transmit displacement data representative of the measured displacement to the sound processor. Corresponding systems and methods are also disclosed.
