According to one aspect of the invention, an implantable hearing aid transducer is located in proximity to the auditory component of the patient. A test signal is provided ... 09/21/06 - 20060211910 - Microphone system for bone anchored bone conduction hearing aids A bone anchored bone conduction hearing aid system comprising two separate microphones connected to two separate inputs of a hearing aid, and a microphone processing circuit in the electronic unit, processing the signals from the two microphones to increase the sound sensitivity for sound coming from the front compared to ... 08/24/06 - 20060189841 - Systems and methods for photo-mechanical hearing transduction Hearing systems for both hearing impaired and normal hearing subjects comprise an input transducer and a separate output transducer. The input transducer will include a light source for generating a light signal in response to either ambient sound or an external electronic sound signal. The output transducer will comprise a ... 08/17/06 - 20060183965 - Integrated implantable hearing device, microphone and power unit An implantable hearing unit is provided that includes an implantable microphone, a rechargeable power storage device and a speech signal processor. The hearing unit further includes a signal coupling device that is adapted for electrical interconnection to an implantable auditory stimulation device, which is operative to stimulate an auditory component ... 08/10/06 - 20060178553 - Method and apparatus for minimally invasive placement of sensing and driver assemblies to improve hearing loss Methods and structures for placing sensing and driver assemblies in a middle ear of a patient are disclosed. Methods and structures according to various embodiments of the invention provide minimally invasive techniques and devices that facilitate placement of sensing/driver assemblies in a middle ear using a trans-canal implantation technique. Certain ... 07/27/06 - 20060167335 - Method and device for tinnitus therapy A method and device for tinnitus therapy. The method includes generating pure sounds, each having a predetermined frequency, within an audible range, and waiting for a user to press an input button when the user hears the pure sound. Then, the hearing characteristics of the user are interpreted in conjunction ... 03/16/06 - 20060058573 - Method and apparatus for vibrational damping of implantable hearing aid components A method and apparatus for minimizing or eliminating the transmission of vibration away from, as well as induction of vibration into, a middle ear driving or sensing structure of an at least partially implantable hearing aid system. A vibration damping intermediary layer may be positioned between an originating structure and ... 02/02/06 - 20060025648 - Surgically implantable hearing aid The invention comprises a surgically implantable hearing aid for hearing impaired persons. The hearing aid includes a vibrational element which is vibrated by sound waves and attached to the skull of the person, and a connector which crosses the mastoid cavity and delivers the sound waves to the dura mater ... 11/24/05 - 20050261544 - Totally implantable hearing system A totally implantable hearing system having a sound processing device, a coil assembly, and a magnet assembly. The magnet assembly is implanted in the middle ear of a user and is in contact with at least a portion of an ossicle of the middle ear. The sound processing device receives ... 10/13/05 - 20050228215 - Transducer to actuator interface An implantable hearing aid transducer including a transducer housing, a driver, and an actuator movably connected to the transducer housing. The transducer driver includes at least one coil and one magnet. In one aspect of the present transducer, a seal is provided to seal transducer components that are located at ... 10/13/05 - 20050228214 - Implantable hearing aid transducer retention apparatus A transducer mounting system including a retention apparatus to provide an efficient detachable interconnection between a pivotable member and the mounting system. According. to one aspect, the retention apparatus is configured to travel along a predetermined path between an unlocked position and unlocked position to secure a transducer in a ... 10/13/05 - 20050228213 - Implantable hearing aid transducer system An implantable hearing aid system that includes a transducer housing that is rotatable relative to a transducer mounting apparatus to orient the transducer for interfacing with an auditory component. According to one aspect of the invention, during rotation, a s center of rotation of the transducer housing remains positionally fixed. ... 10/06/05 - 20050222487 - Low acceleration sensitivity microphone An implanted microphone is provided that has reduced sensitivity to vibration and attendant acceleration forces. In this regard, the microphone differentiates between the desirable and undesirable components of a transcutaneously received signal. More specifically, the present invention utilizes an output that is indicative of acceleration forces acting on the implanted ... 09/08/05 - 20050197524 - Passive vibration isolation of implanted microphone A system for reducing the vibration sensitivity of an implantable microphone without an equal or greater reduction in sound sensitivity. The system reduces non-ambient vibrations by placing at least one compliant member into the path of transmission for tissue-borne vibration, but not into the path for ambient sound-induced vibration. More ... 06/23/05 - 20050137447 - Acoustic sensor for an implantable hearing aid Sound receiver for an implantable hearing aid, in particular for a cochlea implant, where the sound receiver is an implantable electromechanic transducer, which converts the force resulting of an accelerated mass into an electric signal.
