Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular relates to an intelligent auxiliary adjustment method for a cochlear implant. Background Art
[0002] Cochlear implant debugging Cochlear implant is the only medical device on the market that can effectively restore hearing to patients with severe or profound hearing loss. Cochlear implants are generally composed of a sound processor and an implant. The implant includes electrodes, which are inserted into the cochlea to stimulate the spiral ganglion cells of the modiolus, thereby producing hearing. 7-14 days after the implant is implanted, you can find a tuner to debug the sound processor for the first time so that it can work with the implant, which is usually called "starting up". Cochlear implants generally require one-on-one manual debugging before they can be used, and are a very important part of speech rehabilitation for cochlear users. Considering the postoperative rehabilitation period, the changes in cochlear impedance and hearing perception need 1 year to stabilize. Therefore, the polyphonic sound processor needs to be adjusted 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after the startup to enable the user to get the best possible hearing effect. In addition, if the device is replaced, it also needs to be debugged before it can be worn.
[0003] The process of adjusting the cochlear implant is divided into objective and subjective parts. The objective part includes the threshold and comfort value adjustment of the available electrodes and the adjustment of the loudness balance; the subjective part includes Lin's six-tone audiometry in real-time mode, common sound audiometry, instrument sound audiometry, monosyllabic and disyllabic word audiometry, large and small sound audiometry, and conventional communication test. In the process of adjusting the machine, the adjuster needs to adjust the program parameters through the feedback of the user end at each link to achieve the best effect.
[0004] At present, the debugging of a sound processor takes at least one hour and at most more than three hours. A tuner can only debug one user end at a time. The repetitive and tedious debugging process is very labor-intensive and time-consuming.

[0046] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0047] See also Figure 1-6 , an intelligent auxiliary adjustment method for a cochlear implant comprises the following steps:
[0048] S1: The auxiliary debugging terminal 3 generates debugging information and / or interactive information and transmits it to the server 2; the user terminal 1 receives the debugging information and / or interactive information transmitted by the server 2; when the user terminal 1 receives the interactive information, the interactive information is displayed to the user terminal; when the user terminal 1 receives the debugging information, the user terminal 1 performs corresponding debugging actions according to the debugging information, and generates response information according to the execution effect of the debugging action;
[0049] S2: The server 2 transmits the interaction information and / or the response information to the auxiliary machine terminal 3;
[0050] S3: The auxiliary debugging terminal 3 analyzes the received response information; when the response information is appropriate, the debugging is stopped; when the response information is not appropriate, the debugging information and the interactive information are output N (N is an integer) times to the server 2;
[0051] The server 2 also transmits the N debugging information and / or interaction information of the auxiliary debugging terminal 3 to the user terminal 1. The user terminal 1 receives the N debugging information and / or interaction information, performs corresponding debugging actions according to the debugging information, and generates response information according to the execution effect of the debugging action, and transmits it to the auxiliary debugging terminal 3.
[0052] S4: Repeat step S3 until the response information is appropriate and the debugging task is completed.
[0053] Specifically, the response information includes any one or more of hearing information reflecting whether the user can receive the debugging information, degree information reflecting the user's comfort level with the received debugging information, loudness information reflecting whether the user is in loudness balance with the received debugging information, and answer information reflecting the result of the user's answer to the received debugging information.
[0054] The auxiliary tuning terminal 3 is a program software that can be run on a smart phone, a tablet computer, a PC, or can also be a specially designed electronic device.
[0055] See also Figure 2Further, in step S3, the auxiliary adjustment terminal 3 includes an intelligent threshold value adjustment module 31 and an intelligent comfort value adjustment module 32, and the intelligent threshold value adjustment module 31 is connected to the intelligent comfort value adjustment module 32.
[0056] See also Figure 3 The intelligent threshold adjustment module 31 adjusts the threshold of each stimulation channel according to the received response information and generates a threshold adjustment report. Specifically, in the intelligent threshold adjustment stage, the user terminal 1 provides a "can you hear" response interface, and the user inputs the corresponding hearing information according to the actual situation.
[0057] The intelligent threshold adjustment module 31 adjusts the thresholds of the electrodes of the cochlear implant in sequence: first, the threshold stimulation of the first electrode is initialized, and the user terminal receives the debugging information and makes a response information, and the response information at this time is the hearing information. The intelligent threshold adjustment module 31 adjusts the threshold size according to the hearing information and stimulates again (generally, the threshold size needs to be adjusted and the stimulation is sent twice), until the hearing information generated is a suitable result representing that the user terminal cannot receive the debugging information, and the optimal threshold of the first electrode is obtained.
[0058] The intelligent threshold adjustment module 31 performs the above threshold adjustment on each electrode of the cochlear implant in turn and generates a threshold adjustment report.
[0059] Furthermore, the threshold adjustment is divided into a threshold rough adjustment stage and a threshold fine adjustment stage. Through the threshold rough adjustment, the threshold is locked within 5 units in a larger range, and then the optimal threshold of the electrode is accurately found through the threshold fine adjustment. The specific steps are as follows:
[0060] Threshold coarse adjustment stage:
[0061] S301: The auxiliary debugging terminal 3 reduces the threshold by 10 units and sends the debugging information to the user terminal 1;
[0062] S302: After the user terminal 1 receives the debugging information and generates the heard information, the auxiliary debugging terminal 3 receives the heard information and continues to repeat step S301 until the heard information generated is a result indicating that the user terminal cannot receive the debugging information (i.e., the user selects not to hear), and then enters the threshold fine adjustment stage;
[0063] Threshold fine-tuning stage:
[0064] S303: The auxiliary debugging terminal 3 reduces the threshold by 5 units and sends the debugging information to the user terminal 1;
[0065] S304: If the heard information generated by the user terminal 1 indicates that the user terminal 1 cannot receive the debugging information (i.e., the user chooses not to hear it), then step S303 is repeated until the heard information generated by the user terminal 1 indicates that the user terminal 1 receives the debugging information (i.e., the user chooses to hear it);
[0066] S305: After receiving the above-mentioned information, the auxiliary debugging terminal 3 reduces the threshold by 1 unit and sends debugging information to the user terminal 1;
[0067] S306: When the user terminal 1 continues to generate heard information representing that the user terminal 1 has received the debugging information, the auxiliary debugging terminal 3 receives the heard information and continues to repeat step S305. When the heard information generated by the user terminal 1 is a suitable result representing that the user terminal 1 cannot receive the debugging information, the electrode threshold is determined.
[0068] See also Figure 4 The intelligent comfort value adjustment module 32 adjusts the comfort value of each stimulation channel according to the threshold adjustment report and generates a comfort value adjustment report. Specifically, in the intelligent comfort value adjustment stage, the user terminal provides a multi-option response interface such as "too loud (uncomfortable)", "loud (comfortable)", "medium sound", "soft sound", "no sound", etc., and the user enters the corresponding degree information according to the actual situation.
[0069] The intelligent comfort value adjustment module 32 adjusts the comfort value of each electrode of the cochlear implant in turn: the first electrode is stimulated with an initial comfort value, the user terminal 1 receives the debugging information and makes a response information, and the response information at this time includes the degree information; the intelligent comfort value adjustment module 32 adjusts the comfort value size according to the degree information, and stimulates again until the generated degree information is a suitable result representing that the user terminal 1 feels comfortable with the received debugging information (that is, the user chooses comfort), and the optimal comfort value of the first electrode is obtained;
[0070] The intelligent comfort value adjustment module 32 performs the above comfort value adjustment on each electrode of the cochlear implant in turn and generates a comfort value adjustment report.
[0071] The comfort value adjustment stage includes the comfort value coarse adjustment stage and the comfort value fine adjustment stage. The specific steps are as follows:
[0072] S307: The auxiliary adjustment terminal 3 selects an electrode, initializes the comfort value and sends electrode stimulation;
[0073] S308: If the response information shows that the electrode is a super-capacitive electrode, the comfort value of the electrode is adjusted; if the electrode is not a super-capacitive electrode, the auxiliary adjustment terminal 3 performs a comfort value coarse adjustment stage according to the response information of the user terminal 1, wherein the comfort value changes by 2-10 units; if the response information shows that it is a super-capacitive electrode, the adjustment is stopped; if it is a non-super-capacitive electrode, the comfort value fine adjustment stage is entered;
[0074] In one embodiment, when the user selects "loud (comfortable)", the auxiliary adjustment terminal 3 sends debugging information (increases the comfort value by 2 units and continues to stimulate once); when the user selects "too loud (uncomfortable)", the debugging information sent by the auxiliary adjustment terminal 1 is: reduce the comfort value by 10 units and send stimulation once; when the user selects "medium sound", the debugging information sent by the auxiliary adjustment terminal 3 is: increase the comfort value by 3 units and send stimulation once; when the user selects "soft sound", the debugging information sent by the auxiliary adjustment terminal 3 is: increase the comfort value by 6 units and send stimulation once; it may depend on the specific situation and will not be elaborated here.
[0075] S309: In the comfort value fine-tuning stage, the auxiliary adjustment terminal 3 reduces the threshold by 1 unit and sends the debugging information to the user terminal 1;
[0076] S310: When the degree information generated by the user terminal 1 is a suitable result representing that the user terminal 1 feels comfortable with the received debugging information (i.e., the user selects the comfort option), the electrode comfort value is determined; when the degree information generated by the user terminal is not suitable, step S309 is repeated until the degree information is suitable;
[0077] S311: After the intelligent comfort value adjustment module 32 performs the above comfort value adjustment on each electrode of the cochlear implant in turn, it generates a comfort value adjustment report.
[0078] Furthermore, when the number of supercapacitive electrodes is greater than or equal to 3, the comfort value adjustment is stopped. Supercapacitive electrodes can be understood as electrodes that cannot produce effective stimulation. If there are more than three, the pulse width at this time cannot be used, and it is necessary to change the pulse width modulation to increase the stimulation pulse width, thereby reducing the number of supercapacitive electrodes and improving the adjustment effect.
[0079] The auxiliary tuning terminal 3 also includes an intelligent loudness balance adjustment module 33, which groups the electrodes and adjusts the electrode comfort value according to the response information of the user terminal 1 until all electrodes are in a loudness balance state; wherein the response information is loudness information. In the intelligent loudness balance stage, the user terminal 1 provides a multi-option response interface of "too loud", "balanced", and "soft"; the user can select the corresponding loudness information according to the actual situation.
[0080] See also Figure 5Specifically, first initialize the loudness balance adjustment, and start the intelligent loudness balance adjustment. Group the available electrodes into groups of 3. Select a group of electrodes to scan at a comfortable value, and determine whether the loudness balance is achieved based on the loudness information of the user terminal 1. If it is achieved (that is, the user selects balance), stop scanning the group of electrodes; if the loudness information of the user terminal 1 is too loud / soft, select a single electrode in the group to stimulate at its comfortable value, and if the feedback information of the user terminal 1 is balanced, continue to select other single electrodes in the group for comfort value stimulation until all electrodes in the group are checked.
[0081] Specifically, if the loudness information of the user terminal 1 is too loud, the intelligent loudness balance adjustment module 33 reduces the comfort value by 1 unit and sends stimulation. If the loudness information of the user terminal 1 is soft, the comfort value is increased by 1 unit and stimulation is sent once. This step is repeated until the loudness information of the user terminal 1 is balanced and the electrode is checked. Then continue to select other single electrodes in the group to perform the above operation until all electrodes in the group are checked.
[0082] Repeat the above steps until all groups of electrodes have been checked and each group has been scanned 3 times, then a loudness balance adjustment report is generated.
[0083] See also Figure 6 The auxiliary debugging end 3 also includes an intelligent real-time audiometry module 34, and the intelligent real-time audiometry module 43 plays audio and obtains test results based on the response information of the user end 1 to the audio; and calibrates the user end volume based on the test results, and generates a real-time audiometry report; wherein the response information is any one or more of the response information used to reflect the user's response results to the received debugging information.
[0084] The real-time audiometry stage of the intelligent real-time audiometry module 34 includes the Lin's six-tone audiometry stage, the common sound audiometry stage, the musical instrument audiometry stage, the monosyllable audiometry stage, the disyllabic word audiometry stage, and the large and small sound audiometry stage. In the Lin's six-tone audiometry stage, the user terminal 1 provides a multi-option response interface for the six Lin's six tones; in the common sound audiometry stage, the user terminal 1 provides a multi-option response interface for common sounds; in the musical instrument audiometry stage, the user terminal 1 provides a multi-option response interface for several musical instruments; in the monosyllable and disyllabic word audiometry stage, the user terminal 1 provides a multi-option response interface for monosyllable and disyllabic word lists; in the large and small sound audiometry stage, the user terminal 1 provides a multi-option response interface for the size of the sound. The user can input the corresponding answer information according to the actual situation.
[0085] See also Figure 5In the intelligent real-time audiometry stage, the auxiliary tuning end 3 initializes some audios from the test audio library at the beginning of the audiometry according to the user's situation and the tuner's experience. The audio items include but are not limited to Lin's six tones, common sounds, musical instrument sounds, monosyllabic word audiometry, disyllabic word audiometry, and large and small sound audiometry. The large and small sound audiometry stage is generally carried out after the first five audiometry tests are completed.
[0086] Specifically, the real-time audio test begins, and the audios are played one by one. The correctness of the answers is determined by the user's answer information. If the answer is correct, the next audio is tested. If the answer is incorrect, the audio is played repeatedly, and the next audio is tested regardless of whether it is correct or not, until all audio tests are completed, and then the large and small sound audio test project is entered.
[0087] In the audio-visual test phase, the volume of the user's mobile phone is first calibrated. If the auxiliary adjustment terminal 3 detects that the volume is low or there is no sound, the user is reminded to turn off the mute and turn up the volume to the maximum. The system plays the audio at 100%, 50% and 10% volume respectively, and records the user's answer information at different volume levels. If the change trend of the answer information (i.e. the volume level reported by the user) is not decreasing, the audio is re-tested once; regardless of the subsequent answer information, a real-time audiometry report is generated.
[0088] The cochlear implant intelligent auxiliary tuning method of the present invention monitors the user's feedback, automatically diagnoses the response information, and performs debugging actions to replace the actions originally performed manually by the tuner. The tuning method can reduce the burden on the tuner, and can greatly improve the efficiency of the tuner by coordinating cross-operation and deploying on a remote tuning system.
[0089] Finally, it should be noted that the above preferred embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail through the above preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes can be made in form and details without departing from the scope defined by the claims of the present invention.

When the heard information generated by the user terminal is a suitable result representing that the user terminal cannot receive debugging information, the electrode threshold is determined.
8. The intelligent auxiliary adjustment method of the cochlear implant according to claim 4, characterized in that: The comfort value adjustment stage includes a comfort value coarse adjustment stage and a comfort value fine adjustment stage, and the specific steps are as follows: S307: The auxiliary debugging end selects an electrode, initializes the comfort value and sends debugging information to the user end; S308: During the adjustment process, the auxiliary adjustment end counts the number of super-capacitive compliant electrodes. When the user end generates a reply message that the electrode is a super-capacitive compliant electrode, the electrode adjustment is completed; if the electrode is not a super-capacitive compliant electrode and the degree information generated by the user end is not suitable, the auxiliary adjustment end performs a comfort value coarse adjustment stage according to the degree information, wherein the comfort value changes by 2-10 units; if the reply message is still a super-capacitive compliant electrode, the adjustment is stopped; if it is a non-super-capacitive compliant electrode and the degree information generated by the user end is still not suitable, the comfort value fine adjustment stage is entered; S309: In the comfort value fine-tuning stage, the auxiliary machine adjusting end reduces the threshold by 1 unit and sends the debugging information to the user end; S310: When the degree information generated by the user terminal is a suitable result representing that the user terminal feels comfortable with the received debugging information, the electrode comfort value is determined; when the degree information generated by the user terminal is not suitable, continue to repeat step S309 until the degree information is suitable; S311: After the intelligent comfort value adjustment module performs the above comfort value adjustment on each electrode of the cochlear implant in turn, it generates a comfort value adjustment report.
9. The intelligent auxiliary adjustment method of the cochlear implant according to claim 8, characterized in that: When the number of the supercapacitive electrodes is greater than or equal to 3, the comfort value adjustment is stopped.
