Claim One:
1. A method for adjusting the response curve of a hybrid hearing prosthesis system, the system including at least a filter bank, a processor, an acoustic stimulator, an electrical stimulator and an electrode array, the filter bank operatively providing output channel signals corresponding to amplitude in predefined channels, and the processor operatively applying input/output parameters to the output channel signals to produce acoustic stimuli, the method including: for each channel for which acoustic stimulation is contemplated, providing an acoustic stimulus at a known level; determining the evoked neural response to each stimulus using the implanted electrode array; compiling the sum of evoked neural responses across multiple channels to produce a response curve, and comparing the response curve to a predetermined response curve; and adjusting one or more selected input/output parameters of one or more channels, so that the adjusted response curve best matches the predetermined response curve.
