摘要： Provided is an implanted hearing instrument having reduced sensitivity to vibration. In this regard, the instrument differentiates between the desirable and undesirable signals within an implanted microphone response. In one arrangement, an observer identifies a current operating state of the implanted hearing instrument and one or more cancellation filters are adjusted based on the current operating state. The cancellation filter(s) are used to reduce undesired signals form the implanted microphone response. In a first arrangement, the output of the implanted hearing instrument may be filtered and removed from the implanted microphone response to reduce or substantially eliminate feedback in the microphone signal provided to an implanted signal processor.

摘要： A hearing aid transducer that includes an actuator advanceable relative to the transducer to couple with a middle ear component. In one aspect of the invention, the actuator is a separate structure from the transducer that is insertable into an aperture defined between a first and second end of the transducer. This permits separate connection of the actuator to the middle ear component and the transducer to improve coupling of the transducer to the middle ear component, e.g., minimizing loads on the middle ear component.

摘要： An implantable microphone is disclosed having an external diaphragm and housing that forming chamber capable of being pressurized by deformational movement of the diaphragm induced by pressure waves (e.g., acoustic signals) propagating through overlying tissue. The chamber is shaped such that the volume of the chamber upon deflection of the diaphragm is reduced compared to a static volume of the chamber (i.e., volume of the chamber with no diaphragm deflection). As a result, the change in pressure within the chamber for a given diaphragm displacement is greater than it would be within a chamber having a cylindrical volume, leading to greater microphone sensitivity. In one arrangement, the chamber is shaped such that it is deeper at its center than at its edges, for example, to form a conical or paraboloidal volume.

摘要： An implantable device such as a microphone that may be subcutaneously positioned in surrounding soft tissue. The implantable device may include a hermetically-sealed housing and a diaphragm that forms a portion of an outside surface of the housing. The microphone has a density that is no more than 110% of a density of the surrounding soft tissue. In one arrangement, the device may move in at least substantial unison with the surrounding soft tissue in response to a pressure or compression wave propagating through the soft tissue and being received at the device. In another arrangement, the device may include a filler that may be operable to alter the density of the device.

摘要： The invention is directed to an implanted microphone having reduced sensitivity to vibration. In this regard, the microphone differentiates between the desirable and undesirable vibration by utilizing at least one motion sensor to produce a motion signal when an implanted microphone is in motion. This motion signal is used to yield a microphone output signal that is less vibration sensitive. In a first arrangement, the motion signal may be processed with an output of the implantable microphone transducer to provide an audio signal that is less vibration-sensitive than the microphone output alone. Specifically, the motion signal may be scaled to match the motion component of the microphone output such that upon removal of the motion signal from the microphone output, the remaining signal is an acoustic signal.
摘要翻译：本发明涉及具有降低的对振动的敏感性的植入式麦克风。在这方面，麦克风通过利用至少一个运动传感器在植入的麦克风运动时产生运动信号来区分期望的和不期望的振动。该运动信号用于产生较少振动敏感的麦克风输出信号。在第一布置中，运动信号可以用可植入麦克风换能器的输出进行处理，以提供比单独的麦克风输出更少的振动敏感的音频信号。具体地，可以对运动信号进行缩放以匹配麦克风输出的运动分量，使得在从麦克风输出移除运动信号时，剩余信号是声信号。

摘要： A method for reducing oscillation of a feedback signal in a hearing aid and hearing aid configured according to the present method is provided. The method includes the steps of determining the phase of the feedback signal over a feedback path of the hearing aid and shifting only the phase of the feedback signal a predetermined amount, without modification of other signal characteristics, to achieve a non-zero net phase of the feedback signal over the feedback path such that oscillation of the signal is prevented. In one embodiment of the present method, the step of determining the phase may be performed at the time of fitting of the hearing aid to a patient. In another embodiment of the present method, the method includes the step of periodically determining the phase of the feedback signal over the feedback path such that the phase shifting may be performed based on the periodically determined phase.

摘要： An implantable hearing aid transducer that compensates in situ for undesirable interfaces with a middle ear component. The transducer includes a housing, an actuator, a driver, and an actuator interface. According to one embodiment, the actuator interface is reshapeable in situ from a first shape to a second shape to permit movement of one of the actuator and the middle ear component in at least a first dimension to compensate for loading pressure. In this regard, the actuator interface may be gradually deformable to permit the movement of the transducer and/or the middle ear component, as well as, resistive to sudden movements of the actuator such that vibration at acoustic frequencies occurs between the actuator and the middle ear component.

摘要： An implantable hearing aid transducer apparatus provides a simplified approach for interface with a middle ear component. The transducer includes a transducer housing, an actuator for middle ear coupling, and a driver having a magnet or coil interconnected to the actuator to induce movement in response to driver signals. In one feature, the actuator may be advanceable through an aperture of the housing independent from operation of the driver. In another feature, a portion of the transducer may be rotatable. In another feature, a retention apparatus may function to selectively secure a rotatable portion of the housing in a selected position. In an additional feature, a seal may be disposed around a driver component and connected to the actuator.
