Patent ID: 8583248

Claim:
A method comprising: generating a first set of three or more stimulation signals via a corresponding set of three or more channels of a hearing prosthesis, wherein individual stimulation signals have corresponding stimulation levels; receiving an indication that a sound sensation corresponding to the first set of three or more stimulation signals is uncomfortably loud; and in response to receiving the indication that the sound sensation is uncomfortably loud, reducing the corresponding stimulation levels of the stimulation signals of the first set of three or more stimulation signals; and generating a second set of two or more stimulation signals at the reduced stimulation levels via a first subset of two or more channels, wherein each channel included in the first subset of two or more channels is included in the set of three or more channels and wherein a number of channels in the first subset of two or more channels is less than a number of channels in the set of three or more channels.
