    摘要: An external portion of an auditory prosthesis includes magnets, electronics, and other components. In bone conduction auditory prostheses, reducing the amount of mass subject to vibrations in an auditory prosthesis has a positive effect on tuning of the device. One way of reducing such mass is to resiliently more massive components within the auditory prosthesis housing. Such resilient mounting reduces the dampening effect that these massive components have on vibrations generated by the prosthesis. When electronic components are suspended, feedback to said components is also reduced, resulting improved performance.

    摘要: Presented herein are techniques for acoustically charging an implantable rechargeable battery. In accordance with embodiments presented herein, a sound sensor is implanted in a recipient and is configured to detect sound signals. The sound sensor is configured to convert the detected sound signals into electrical signals that can be used to charge the implantable rechargeable battery.
