  • Supersonic bone conduction hearing aid and method
    Patent number: 5047994
    Abstract: A supersonic bone conduction hearing aid that receives conventional audiometric frequencies and converts them to supersonic frequencies for connection to the human sensory system by vibration bone conduction. The hearing is believed to use channels of communications to the brain that are not normally used for hearing. These alternative channels do not deteriorate significantly with age as does the normal hearing channels. The supersonic bone conduction frequencies are discerned as frequencies in the audiometric range of frequencies.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 2, 1990
    Date of Patent: September 10, 1991
    Assignee: Center for Innovative Technology
    Inventors: Martin L. Lenhardt, Alex M. Clarke, William Regelson
