Title:
BONE CONDUCTION DEVICES UTILIZING MULTIPLE ACTUATORS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/081549
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A bone conduction device includes split high-frequency and low-frequency actuators. The frequency response of the low-frequency actuator can be restricted to the lower range of hearing frequencies to improve performance. The high-frequency actuator can be implanted under tissue close to the cochlea to improve transmission efficiency, since high-frequency vibrations suffer greater attenuation.
