INDEPENDENT VOLUME CONTROL IN ELECTRO-ACOUSTIC STIMULATION SYSTEMS

摘要

An exemplary system includes an electro-acoustic stimulation (EAS) subsystem and a volume control subsystem communicatively coupled to the EAS subsystem. The EAS subsystem is configured to direct a cochlear implant to apply electrical stimulation representative of audio content included in a first frequency band to a patient and to direct a receiver to apply acoustic stimulation representative of audio content included in a second frequency band to the patient. The volume control subsystem is configured to facilitate independent control of a volume associated with the electrical stimulation and a volume associated with the acoustic stimulation. Corresponding systems, devices, and methods are also disclosed.
