<p>A hearing aid device is presented being configured for direct cochlea vibration stimulation. The hearing aid device comprises: a deformable member configured for contracting and expanding along a deformation axis between its first and second sides in response to an applied external field; and a fastening assembly configured for carrying the deformable member so as to provide rigid coupling of the first and second sides of the deformable member to a bony tissue in the vicinity of cochlea, such that contraction and expansion of said deformable member directly stimulates vibration of the cochlea.</p> |
