Abstract

See full text

An exemplary system includes a detection facility configured to 1) receive an acoustic signal transmitted by a middle ear analyzer and 2) detect a sound level of the acoustic signal, and a processing facility configured to 1) use the sound level of the acoustic signal to control a current level of electrical stimulation applied by a cochlear implant system by way of a first set of one or more electrodes implanted within a patient, 2) synchronize the middle ear analyzer with the cochlear implant system in accordance with a first mapping data set during a first stapedius reflex measurement session, 3) identify a current level of the electrical stimulation at which the stapedius reflex occurs, and 4) automatically generate a second mapping data set based on the identified current level for use during a second stapedius reflex measurement session subsequent to the first stapedius reflex measurement session.
