ABSTRACT:
This invention provides a hearing aid of the kind which has a transmitter element and a receiver-transducer element having a vibrating element. The receiver element is suitable for being placed, preferably movably, in the mouth of the user. The receiver element includes a device for supporting and holding the vibrating element. The device for supporting and holding the vibrating element is formed so that when the vibrating element is in place it is in permanent contact either with at least one tooth or with the palate bone, thereby providing sound transmission to the inner ear by bone conduction.
