A method for adjusting auditory prosthesis settings implemented in a system comprising the auditory prosthesis , a library external to the prosthesis containing settings from a plurality of auditory prosthesis and a priority of the settings implemented by a set of priority values, and at least one processor external to the prosthesis , the method comprising: receiving, by the processor, a request for a settings adjustment from the auditory prosthesis; receiving, by the processor, information from the auditory prosthesis, wherein the information describes a sound environment; based upon the information, selecting, by the processor, at least one settings adjustment from the library such that the settings adjustments with higher priority or rank are selected prior to selecting settings adjustments having a lower priority or rank; sending, by the processor, the at least one selected settings adjustment to the auditory prosthesis; in response to sending the at least one selected settings adjustment, logging, by the processor, a response from the auditory prosthesis; and based upon the response, updating, by the processor, the priority of the settings in the library, wherein the plurality of settings adjustments are prioritized based upon responses received from the plurality of auditory prostheses, wherein updating the priority of the settings in the library comprises changing a priority value associated with the at least one selected settings adjustment based at least in part on the response, and wherein the library is organized by category, wherein the library contains at least a first category and a second category, wherein the first category is a sound environment, and wherein the second category is one of a device type, a type of hearing loss, and a recipient information. receiving, by the processor, a request for a settings adjustment from the auditory prosthesis; receiving, by the processor, information from the auditory prosthesis, wherein the information describes a sound environment; based upon the information, selecting, by the processor, at least one settings adjustment from the library such that the settings adjustments with higher priority or rank are selected prior to selecting settings adjustments having a lower priority or rank; sending, by the processor, the at least one selected settings adjustment to the auditory prosthesis; in response to sending the at least one selected settings adjustment, logging, by the processor, a response from the auditory prosthesis; and based upon the response, updating, by the processor, the priority of the settings in the library, wherein the plurality of settings adjustments are prioritized based upon responses received from the plurality of auditory prostheses, wherein updating the priority of the settings in the library comprises changing a priority value associated with the at least one selected settings adjustment based at least in part on the response, and wherein the library is organized by category, wherein the library contains at least a first category and a second category, wherein the first category is a sound environment, and wherein the second category is one of a device type, a type of hearing loss, and a recipient information. <EOS>
