Wires and coils within an electrode assembly electromagnetically interact and cause mechanical motion of the assembly. This mechanical motion can be used to supplement or replace the electrical stimulation provided by a standard cochlear implant and provides targeted acoustic stimulation to the cochlea.

Hybrid electrically- and mechanically-stimulating cochlear implant

Evaluating an implanted hearing prosthesis, including operating the implanted hearing prosthesis, capturing sound generated by a transducer of the prosthesis during said operation, and comparing the captured sound to a sound model.

Evaluation of an implanted prosthesis

An implantable component, such as by way of example, an implantable component of a transcutaneous bone conduction device, the implantable component comprising a piezoelectric transducer, wherein the implantable component is configured to temporarily prevent the piezoelectric transducer from moving inside the housing while the housing is implanted in the recipient.

Shock and impact management of an implantable device during non use

A device including an inductive radio frequency communication coil and a platform apparatus configured to be secured or coupled to an actuator such that the actuator can induce vibration in the skull inducing hearing percepts, and the RF coil can deliver communication allowing an implantable stimulator to also induce hearing percepts.

External component with inductance and mechanical vibratory functionality
