ABSTRACT
This paper presents an optimisation algorithm designed to perform in-situ automatic fitting of cochlear implants.All patients are different, which means that cochlear parametrisation is a difficult and long task, with results ranging from perfect blind speech recognition to patients who cannot make anything out of their implant and just turn it off.The proposed method combines evolutionary algorithms and medical expertise to achieve autonomous interactive fitting through a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA).

An interactive evolutionary algorithm for cochlear implant fitting: first results
SAC '05: Proceedings of the 2005 ACM symposium on Applied computingIn a previous SAC-COMPAHEC paper[1], a method was presented using an interactive evolutionary algorithm for cochlear implants fitting.The method has recently been put to test, with very unexpected and encouraging results: in a few words, it seems that ...
Using an interactive evolutionary algorithm to help fitting a cochlear implant
GECCO '05: Proceedings of the 7th annual workshop on Genetic and evolutionary computationCochlear implants are electronic devices that stimulate directly the auditory nerve to allow totally deaf patients to hear again. This paper presents an interactive evolutionary algorithm (IEA) designed to help finding the best parameters of a cochlear ...
Improving speech intelligibility in cochlear implants using acoustic models
Cochlear implant (CI) is a prosthetic device that partially replaces the functions of the human ear via electrical stimulation. Cochlear implants are system and/or patient specific that mandates a simulation model prior to implantation. In the present ...
