Patent ID: 8798757

Claim:
A method for fitting an auditory prosthesis to a recipient, comprising: applying, via the auditory prosthesis, at least one stimulation signal having one or more characteristics to the recipient; generating, via an inertial measurement unit, inertia data indicating changes in the recipient's physical activity; assigning, with a determinator, a confidence value to said one or more characteristics of said at least one stimulation signal based on said inertia data, wherein said confidence value is representative of a likelihood a recipient has experienced a change in hearing perception; comparing, with the determinator, said confidence value with a predetermined confidence threshold; determining, via the determinator, whether said recipient experienced a change in hearing perception in response to the applied at least one stimulation signal based on comparing said confidence value with said predetermined confidence threshold; and setting, in the auditory prosthesis, at least one operational parameter of the auditory prosthesis in accordance with one or more characteristics of the at least one applied stimulation signal corresponding to a determined change in hearing perception.
