Claim One:
1. A system comprising: a sound processor included in an electro-acoustic stimulation (“EAS”) device and that directs a cochlear implant to apply electrical stimulation to a patient, the electrical stimulation representative of audio content included in a first frequency band, and directs a receiver to apply acoustic stimulation to the patient, the acoustic stimulation representative of audio content included in a second frequency band; a volume control facility communicatively coupled to the sound processor; and a selection facility communicatively coupled to the volume control facility and that selectively associates the volume control facility with the electrical stimulation in response to a first user input, selectively associates the volume control facility with the acoustic stimulation in response to a second user input, and selectively associates the volume control facility with both the electrical stimulation and the acoustic stimulation in response to a third user input; wherein the volume control facility adjusts, in response to actuation of the volume control facility by a user while the volume control facility is associated with the electrical stimulation, a first volume level perceived by the patient when the electrical stimulation is applied by the cochlear implant, adjusts, in response to actuation of the volume control facility by the user while the volume control facility is associated with the acoustic stimulation, a second volume level perceived by the patient when the acoustic stimulation is applied by the receiver, and adjusts, in response to actuation of the volume control facility by a user while the volume control facility is associated with both the electrical stimulation and the acoustic stimulation, an overall volume level perceived by the patient when either the electrical stimulation is applied by the cochlear implant or the acoustic stimulation is applied by the receiver.
