Title:
ARTIFICIAL BASILAR MEMBRANE DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/021528
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
An artificial basilar membrane device positioned within a tympanic cavity to receive vibration caused by a sound from an eardrum is provided. The artificial basilar membrane device includes a receptor receiving vibration caused by a sound from the eardrum, and an artificial basilar membrane installed in the receptor to sense the vibration, converting the sensed vibration into an electrical signal, discriminating the converted signal by frequency band, and transmitting the converted signal to the outside of the receptor. Even when the auditory ossicles are damaged, the artificial basilar membrane device can be installed in a human body to receive vibration caused by a sound from the eardrum.
