Abstract:
According to an embodiment, a system for fitting a cochlea implant that has a plurality of stimulation electrodes is disclosed. The system comprises a fitting device and a cochlear implant communicatively connected to the fitting device. The cochlear implant comprises an electrode lead with a plurality of stimulation electrodes forming an electrode array, a stimulation unit to generate stimulation pulses to be emitted via individual stimulation electrodes in controlled manner with an adjustable stimulation intensity and a sound processing unit for generating a stimulation intensity control signal for each electrode depending on frequency ranges assigned to each individual electrode and a respective signal strength of an input signal in a respective frequency range. The fitting device comprises a graphical display and a user interface providing input means. The fitting device being configured to communicate data to and/or from the cochlear implant, wherein the data represent, for each stimulation electrode of the cochlear implant, parameter values defining a frequency range and parameter values defining at least two stimulation intensity levels, including a threshold level (T-level) for each individual stimulation electrode of the cochlear implant and to display on the display, for each electrode, a graphic representation of the parameter values that define a stimulation intensity range and a frequency range in a two dimensional matrix wherein one dimension is assigned to frequency whereas the other dimension is assigned to stimulation intensity, wherein the stimulation intensity ranges and the frequency ranges of all electrodes are displayed simultaneously.

Claim (Index 18):
A method according to  claim 3 , wherein in said graphic representation said parameter values that define a stimulation intensity range and a frequency range for an individual stimulation electrode are represented by a rectangle wherein one dimension of said rectangle represents the frequency range assigned to said electrode on a logarithmic scale whereas the other dimension represents the stimulation intensity range on a linear scale
