A system for assisting a person with a hearing disability includes an implantable microphone (40A) which senses sounds by monitoring pressure variations in the cochlear fluid (36). The electrical signal generated by the microphone (40A) is processed and used by a signal generator (44), such as a cochlear implant to generate excitation signals for the patient. In this manner, external microphones, used in prior art systems, are eliminated. |
