ABSTRACT:
A hand-held remote unit functions as both a remote status device and a control device for a cochlear implant system. When placed near the headpiece of a cochlear implant system, the remote unit monitors the forward telemetry signals transmitted between an external sound processor, e.g., a behind-the-ear (BTE) sound processor, and an implanted unit, thereby providing the remote unit with the ability to output status information regarding the implant system. The remote unit may also generate a back telemetry signal that when properly received by the sound processor causes a forward telemetry signal to be generated that controls the implant unit.
