Abstract
A tissue conduction audio system includes a transducer that produces vibrations as it presents audio to a user. A vibration isolation system isolates the vibrations produced by the transducer. The vibration isolation system includes a suspension component with flexures that are configured to have an asymmetric spring rate when at rest and a symmetric spring rate when the transducer is in use and/or at a target position.
