Abstract:

In some examples, controlling delivery of therapy includes using an implantable medical device comprising at least one electrode. Processing circuitry of a system comprising the device may receive, from an application running on a patient personal device, a patient request entered by the patient into the application. The processing circuitry may further determine, based on the patient request, a requested value of a therapy parameter, compare the requested value to information stored in a memory of the medical device system, the information indicating one or more allowable values of the therapy parameter, determine that the requested value is one of the allowable values based on the comparison of the requested value of the therapy parameter to the one or more allowable values, and control the implantable medical device to deliver cardiac pacing via the at least one electrode according to the requested value for a period of time.

Abstract:

A hearing aid design is described that compartmentalizes hearing aid components for easier use and better operation. In one embodiment, the processing circuitry and transducers are disposed in housing designed to placed in the ear canal so as to be isolated from antennas and sources of noise. In one embodiment, the battery is moved out of the canal in a behind-the-ear housing so that the remaining components in the ear canal are smaller so as to improve fit rate.
