Abstract: A support can be configured for placement in the middle ear to couple a transducer to the round window, such that the transducer can be removed from the round window without damaging the round window. The support can be configured to couple the transducer to the sound window such that the support can be removed from the round window. The support may be configured to decouple the transducer from the round window such that the transducer can be removed from the middle ear of the user, for example when the support is affixed to the middle ear. Removal of the transducer from the middle ear without damaging the round window can allow safe removal of the transducer, for example when the patient wishes to receive MRI imaging.

In some cases the described systems and methods may detect an episode of parasomnia, such as sleep paralysis, sleepwalking, night terrors, chronic nightmares, sleep hallucinations, sleeping disorders associated with post-traumatic stress disorder, or a similar sleep disturbance, and provide a stimulus to wake the user from the episode of parasomnia. Accordingly, in some cases, the present invention comprises a sensor to monitor a user's physiological indicators to first determine if the user is asleep and then identify the onset of an episode of parasomnia, and a mechanism for providing a sensory stimulus to wake the user. Other implementations are also described.
