Abstract:
1. A method comprising: detecting, by a fitting subsystem, a communicative coupling of a cochlear implant associated with a patient to a sound processor connected to the fitting subsystem by receiving a signal from the cochlear implant indicating that the cochlear implant is communicatively coupled to the sound processor; automatically determining, by the fitting subsystem in response to the communicative coupling, an implant side associated with the cochlear implant in accordance with one or more implant side selection factors; automatically populating, by the fitting subsystem, an implant record associated with the cochlear implant with data representative of the determined implant side, and presenting, by the fitting subsystem within a graphical user interface and in response to the automatically populating, at least a portion of the implant record associated with the cochlear implant and automatically populated with data representative of the determined implant side.
