Abstract: A vibrator for a bone conduction type hearing aid device. The vibrator includes a coil for generating a dynamic magnetic field and two permanent magnets for generating a static magnetic field. The two permanent magnets are working independently from each other in the magnetic circuit and an arranged in such a way that the static and dynamic magnetic fields are substantially separated from each other, but coinciding in the air gaps formed between the coil and magnet arrangement and the casing, whereby the vibrator provides an axial force.

Abstract: A variable-reluctance type vibrator for generating vibrations in a bone anchored hearing aid. The vibrator includes a vibrator plate and a bobbin base with a vibrator gap therebetween. The vibrator gap between the vibrator plate and the bobbin base, or some other spacing in the vibrator where a relative movement between two surfaces is generated during the vibratory function, is at least partially filled with a fluid or gel for providing the main part of the damping of the resonance frequency of the vibrator.

Abstract: A coupling device for attaching the external hearing aid part to the skull bone anchored part in a bone conducting hearing aid apparatus. The retaining force in the coupling device is substantially established with a permanent magnet. The bone anchored part and the external hearing aid part include a magnetic part.

Abstract: A hearing aid apparatus is intended for sound transmission from one side of the head to the cochlea on the other side of the head for rehabilitation of patients with unilateral hearing loss. The hearing aid apparatus is based on the bone conducting principle for bone anchored hearing aids and includes a vibratory generating part that is mechanically anchored by means of osseointegration in the skull bone at the deaf side of the patient and arranged to transmit vibrations through the skull bone from the deaf side to the inner ear on the other side of the patient. The frequency characteristics of the apparatus are preferably adapted in such a way that the amplification is higher for frequencies above 1 kHz than for lower frequencies, which is in contrast to an ordinary bone anchored hearing aid.

Abstract: A vibrator for a bone conduction-type hearing aid device by which sound information is mechanically transmitted via the skull bone directly to the inner ear of a person with impaired hearing. The vibrator includes a coil that is directly into two coil halves for generating a dynamic magnetic field and a permanent magnet for generating a static magnetic field. The permanent magnet is radially magnetized and arranged in such a way that the static and dynamic magnetic fields coincide in air gaps formed between the coil and magnet arrangement and the casing, whereby the vibrator provides an axial force.

Abstract: A device for disconnection of a connecting device between an implant (2) and a device (12) connectable thereto, which coupling device is of the type incorporating a first and a second coupling part (6 and 11, resp.

Abstract: A device for interconnecting an implant (2) anchored in the skull bone of a person with impaired hearing, which acts as or supports a first coupling part (7) and a second coupling part (14) interconnectable therewith and connected to a vibration exciting apparatus, whereby said coupling parts are constituted by a substantially cup-shaped female part (7) and a male part (14), which is insertable therein under mutual flexing, the female part (7) being designed as a rigid cup-shaped seat, whereas the male part (14) is designed to be resilient in radial direction in order to permit a snap-in introduction into the female part (7).
