INDEPENDENT VOLUME CONTROL IN ELECTRO-ACOUSTIC STIMULATION SYSTEMS

An exemplary system includes 1) an electro-acoustic stimulation ("EAS") subsystem that directs a cochlear implant to apply electrical stimulation to a patient, and directs a receiver to apply acoustic stimulation to the patient; and 2) a volume control subsystem communicatively coupled to...

More Information
Summary:An exemplary system includes 1) an electro-acoustic stimulation ("EAS") subsystem that directs a cochlear implant to apply electrical stimulation to a patient, and directs a receiver to apply acoustic stimulation to the patient; and 2) a volume control subsystem communicatively coupled to the EAS subsystem and that facilitates independent control of a first volume level perceived by the patient when the electrical stimulation is applied and a second volume level perceived by the patient when the acoustic stimulation is applied.
