A support (110) for input and output transducers of a hearing aid is implanted in the middle ear. The support (110), which is attached to the mastoid bone, can be a single component or comprise two adjustable components. In one embodiment, an arm (135) extends from the proximal end of the support towards an access hole created behind the outer ear, where the arm (135) is attached for further stability. In another embodiment, the arm (135) extends outside the access hole, where it is mounted subcutaneously to the mastoid bone with a mechanical fastener (145). The support (110) provides positional adjustability, stability, and is invisible externally. The support (110) can be a single bracket. The transducers are connected to an electronics unit. The electronics can be programmed or reprogrammed. |
