Abstract:
1. A method comprising: (i) using a plurality of transmission parameters, transmitting, from an external component of an implantable medical device to an internal component of the implantable medical, a signal, wherein the internal component is implanted in a recipient; (ii) receiving at the external component an indication of an implant power parameter correlated to the plurality of transmission parameters; (iii) adjusting a first transmission parameter included in the plurality of transmission parameters; (iv) adjusting a second transmission parameter included in the plurality of transmission parameters; (v) repeating (i) and (ii) after adjusting at least one of the first transmission parameter or the second transmission parameter; (vi) based on each received indication of the implant power parameter, determining a preferred set of transmission parameters, wherein the preferred set of transmission parameters includes a setting for the first transmission parameter and a setting for the second transmission parameter; and (vii) operating with the preferred set of transmission parameters, wherein, when operating with the preferred set of transmission parameters, a power usage for the external component is less than a threshold power usage.
