1. A method for user-directed fitting of a neural prosthesis to a sensorineural-impaired user, comprising the steps of: a) connecting a neural prosthesis to the user; b) connecting an external device for user-directed fitting of a neural prosthesis to said neural prosthesis, for providing a test neural stimulus to said user and receiving a user response; c) presenting one or more neural stimuli to said user through said neural prosthesis, each said neural stimulus having an associated icon displayed by a user interface connected to said device, wherein said associated icon(s) is/are displayed on a first display scene of said user interface, and wherein each of said neural stimuli is presented to said user to test for a user response to said neural stimulus; d) obtaining said user response by monitoring user selection of the associated icon subjectively corresponding to a user-selected neural stimulus; and e) adjusting said neural prosthesis so that the user is enabled to optimally detect said neural stimuli.
