ABSTRACT:
The hearing aid comprises a external microphone, amplifier and battery assembly transmitting its signals to a transducer structure arranged on the squama temporalis. A transducer in the transducer structure generates oscillating motions that are transferred to a vibration transmitter arranged in a groove extending along the bony external auditory canal wall. A clip at the distal end of the vibration transmitter is coupled to the long process of the incus. The hearing aid is easy to implant and provides efficient coupling of the mechanical oscillations to the ossicles of the middle ear.
