The different kinds of bone-conduction devices (BCDs) available for hearing rehabilitation
are growing. In this paper, all BCDs currently available or in clinical trials will be described in …

Active transcutaneous bone conduction devices are a type of bone conduction device
developed to keep the skin intact and provide direct bone conduction stimulation. The Bone …

Objective: To investigate audiological and quality of life outcomes for a new active
transcutaneous device, called the bone conduction implant (BCI), where the transducer is …

Objective: Bone conduction (BC) stimulation closer to the cochlea has previously been
shown to give higher cochlear promontory acceleration measured by laser Doppler …

Objective: The objective of this study is to describe the technical design and verify the
technical performance of a new bone conduction implant (BCI) system. Design: The BCI …

This paper presents analysis and design of a radio frequency power and data link for a
novel Bone Conduction Implant (BCI) system. Patients with conductive and mixed hearing …

We designed and implemented an electromagnetic transducer for implantable bone
conduction hearing aids. The proposed transducer is smaller than previous bone conduction …

Performing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations in patients who use
implantable medical devices involve safety risks both for the patient and the implant …

Background A BCI transducer needs to be sufficiently small to fit in the mastoid portion of the
temporal bone for a majority of patients. The anatomical geometry limits both the dimension …

This paper focuses on transducers, which are the most important components of bone
conduction implants. To improve vibration magnitude, we develop a coil vibration transducer …
