Claim One:
1. An audio device system comprising an audio device and a control device, the control device comprising: a signal interface that is adapted to receive data representing the acoustic environment external to the ear, and transmit parameters of a noise suppression algorithm to the audio device; and a module for analyzing the data representing the acoustic environment external to the ear, and calculating the noise suppression algorithm for digital signal processing, the control device being operable to be responsive to the acoustic environment data transmitted thereto to automatically select optimized parameters of the noise suppression algorithm based upon the data and to transmit the algorithm parameters to the audio device, wherein instructions executed by the control device, and which enable the control device to perform the audiometric process in cooperation with the audio device, are stored within the control device; wherein the audio device is adapted to receive the algorithm parameters transmitted thereto by the control device and to perform speech enhancement automatically in real time using the received algorithm parameters without user intervention, and wherein the audio device is a cochlear implant.
