Systems and method for adjusting auditory prostheses settings
Examples relate to systems and methods for providing settings adjustments to auditory prostheses. One or more settings adjustments can be provided to an auditory device in response to a request for the adjustments or a notification that the recipient is experiencing poor quality. The technologies disclosed herein can dynamically adapt based upon information received from a set of auditory prostheses. The information received from the set of auditory prostheses can be used to update the settings adjustments.
1. A method comprising:
receiving a request from an auditory prosthesis;
receiving information from the auditory prosthesis, wherein the information describes a sound environment;
based upon the information, selecting at least one settings adjustment from a library;
sending the at least one settings adjustment to the auditory prosthesis;
in response to sending the at least one settings adjustment, logging a response from the auditory prosthesis; and
based upon the response, updating the library,
wherein the library comprises a plurality of settings adjustments; and
wherein the plurality of settings adjustments are prioritized based upon responses received from a plurality of auditory prostheses.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein updating the library comprises changing a priority value associated with the at least one settings adjustment based at least in part on the response.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the library is organized by category, wherein the category is one of:
a sound environment;
a device type;
a type of hearing loss; and
a recipient information.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the library contains at least a first category and a second category.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the at least one settings adjustment is included in both the first category and the second category.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the at least one settings adjustment is associated with a first priority for the first category and a second priority for the second category, and wherein the first and second priority are different.
7. A system comprising:
at least one processor; and
memory encoding computer executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, perform a method comprising:
receiving a first request from an auditory prosthesis;
receiving information from the auditory prosthesis, wherein the information describes a sound environment;
based upon the information, selecting a first settings adjustment from a library; sending the first settings adjustment to the auditory prosthesis;
in response to sending the first settings adjustment, logging a response from the auditory prosthesis; and
based upon the response, updating the library,
wherein the library comprises a plurality of settings adjustments, which includes the first settings adjustment; and
wherein the plurality of settings adjustments are prioritized based upon responses received from a plurality of auditory prostheses.
8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the first settings adjustment is selected from the plurality of settings adjustments based upon a first priority value.
9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the response comprises a second request.
10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, perform a method that further comprises:
selecting a second settings adjustment from the plurality of settings adjustments based upon a second priority value, wherein the second priority value is less than the first priority value.
11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, perform a method that further comprises:
receiving additional information from the auditory prosthesis; and
selecting a second settings adjustment from the plurality of settings adjustments based at least upon the additional information.
12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the additional information comprises at least one of:
information about the auditory prosthesis;
information about a recipient of the auditory prosthesis; and
additional information about the sound environment.
13. The system of claim 7 , wherein the auditory prosthesis is a cochlear implant.
14. The system of claim 7 , wherein the library is organized by category, wherein the category is one of:
a sound environment;
a device type;
a type of hearing loss; and
a recipient information.
15. A non-transitory computer storage medium comprising computer executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, perform a method comprising:
receiving a request from an auditory prosthesis;
receiving information from the auditory prosthesis, wherein the information describes a sound environment;
based upon the information, selecting at least one settings adjustment from a library;
sending the at least one settings adjustment to the auditory prosthesis;
in response to sending the at least one settings adjustment, logging a response from the auditory prosthesis; and
based upon the response, updating the library,
wherein the library comprises a plurality of settings adjustments; and
wherein the plurality of settings adjustments are prioritized based upon responses received from a plurality of auditory prostheses.
16. The non-transitory computer storage medium of claim 15 , wherein logging the response further comprises:
determining whether the response has been received within a predetermined period of time; and
when the response has not been received within the predetermined period of time, logging an acceptance of the at least one settings adjustment.
17. The non-transitory computer storage medium of claim 16 , wherein updating the library comprises positively modifying a priority value associated with the at least one settings adjustment.
18. The non-transitory computer storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the response is a subsequent request from the auditory prosthesis, and wherein logging the response from the auditory prosthesis comprises logging a rejection of the at least one settings adjustment.
