Abstract:
1. A method comprising: mapping, by a sound processor, an analysis channel associated with a frequency band to a stimulation channel that comprises three electrodes communicatively coupled to an auditory prosthesis associated with a patient; determining, by the sound processor, a most comfortable current level (“M level”) for each of the three electrodes; identifying, by the sound processor, a spectral peak included in an audio signal presented to the patient, the spectral peak having a peak frequency included in the frequency band; and directing, by the sound processor, the auditory prosthesis to apply electrical stimulation representative of the spectral peak to a stimulation site associated with the peak frequency by simultaneously stimulating at least two of the three electrodes at substantially fifty percent or less of their respective determined M levels in accordance with a tri-monopolar current steering strategy.
