A neurofuzzy device (12) is described that provides a fuzzy logic based user- machine interface (9) for optimal fitting of programmable hearing prosthesis (13) using a neural network (4) that generates targets to be matched by the hearing prosthesis (13) based on individual audiometric (1) and other relevant data (2) to the specific impairment and on the neural network (3) accumulated learning from previous successful fittings (8). The incorporated learning process (3) can occur on (16) or off line (14) and implements fitting rationales that can satisfy the needs of a general or specific clientele (8). The parameters of the programmable prosthetic device (6) are set as a group in order to achieve optimal matching to the targets. The user-machine interface realized by a fuzzy logic system (9) deciphers the commands/responses of the user (11) while listening to various stimuli and modifies the targets (5) accordingly thus, providing a closed loop system for in-situ interactive fitting.

L'invention porte sur un dispositif "neuroflou" (12) consistant en une interface utilisateur-machine (9) permettant l'adaptation optimale d'une prothèse (13) auditive programmable à l'aide d'un réseau neural (4) qui défini des objectifs devant être atteints par la prothèse (13) auditive sur la base de relevés audiométriques individuels (1) ou d'autres données relatives (2) à la déficience spécifique, et d'enseignements relatifs au réseau neural (3) recueillis lors d'adaptations antérieures réussies (8). Le processus d'apprentissage incorporé (3), qui peut se faire on line (16) ou off line (14), met en oeuvre des bases d'adaptation pouvant satisfaire les besoins d'une clientèle (8) générale ou particulière. Les paramètres de la prothèse programmable (6) sont constitués en groupes de manière à correspondre optimalement aux objectifs. L'interface utilisateur machine conçu par le système à logique floue (9) déchiffre les instructions/réponses de l'utilisateur (11) tout en prenant en compte les différents stimuli, et en modifiant en conséquence les objectifs (5), constituant ainsi un système en circuit fermé d'adaptation interactive in situ.
