Abstract: An ossicular prosthesis includes a sound-conducting prosthesis body with a first coupling element designed for the mechanical connection to the limb of incus (A) at one end and a second coupling element for the mechanical connection to parts of a component of the ossicular chain or directly to the inner ear, The first coupling element has a receiving part rigidly connected to the prosthesis body to accommodate the free end section of the limb of incus, including a U-shaped cliplock rotatably supported in the receiving part and swivellable over the free end section of the limb of incus in order to secure the limb of incus. The cliplock has at least one bulge directed toward the receiving part that protrudes from the cliplock so far that said bulge touches an outer surface of the receiving part when swivelled.

Abstract: An auditory ossicle prosthesis, which at one end has a first securing element for mechanical connection to a member of the ossicular chain, which securing element is designed in the form of a loop that encloses the member, is partially open to the outside via a slit-like aperture and engages with a force fit around the member, the slit-like aperture being considerably smaller than the diameter of the member engaged by the loop, wherein, after attachment, the loop bears with a force fit on the engaged member via at least three areas, and that, in the circumferential direction around the engaged member, at least three areas of the loop do not touch the engaged member but instead each extend at a distance from the surface of the latter.

Abstract: An induction hob for inductively heating cookware, having an induction coil fed with high-frequency alternating current for supplying the electromagnetic heating power, and a generator device for generating the high-frequency alternating current. In order to prevent noise developing at the cookware, the present disclosure provides for smoothing or eliminating an amplitude modulation of the high-frequency alternating current which flows through the coil.
