Abstract[English]
Presented herein are techniques for determining and/or changing operation of a medical device, including implantable medical devices and hearing devices, based upon the posture of the recipient of the medical device. For example, when the medical device is embodied as a hearing device, such as a cochlear implant or hearing aid, the directionality of the microphone(s) associated with the hearing device may be set based upon the posture of the recipient of the hearing device.[French]
L'invention concerne des techniques pour déterminer et/ou modifier le fonctionnement d'un dispositif médical, comprenant des dispositifs médicaux implantables et des dispositifs auditifs, sur la base de la posture du receveur du dispositif médical. Par exemple, lorsque le dispositif médical se présente sous la forme d'un dispositif auditif, tel qu'un implant cochléaire ou une prothèse auditive, la directivité du ou des microphones associés au dispositif auditif peut être réglé sur la base de la posture du receveur du dispositif auditif.
