| 发明名称 | Hearing prosthesis with a piezoelectric actuator | ||
| 摘要 | A hearing prosthesis including an actuator. The actuator includes a material that deforms in response to an electrical signal and that is adapted to, upon implantation in a recipient, transmit vibrations representative of a sound signal to an organ of the recipient, wherein the material is at least partially exposed to at least one of body tissue and fluid of the recipient. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. A hearing prosthesis comprising: an actuator including a material that deforms in response to an electrical signal, wherein the actuator is adapted to, upon implantation in a recipient such that at least a portion of the material is adapted to directly contact bone of the recipient: osseointegrate with the bone of the recipient; and transmit vibrations representative of a sound signal directly to the bone of the recipient, wherein, the material is a piezoelectric material, and the material is substantially devoid of non-biocompatible substances. | ||
