Auditory system components and system adapted for implantation into a human subject for reducing conductive and/or sensorineural hearing deficiency in the subject. An electrically excitable microactuator is implantable either into a fenestration formed through a promontory or a stapes footplate which respectively separate a middle ear from an inner ear of the human subject. The auditory system also includes an implantable processor for supplying an electrical signal to the microactuator, and an implantable microsensor for transmitting an electrical signal responsive to impingement of sound on the microsensor.
