    Abstract: This document discusses, among other things, systems and methods related to a flexible circuit buzzer apparatus, such as a buzzer apparatus for use in an implantable medical device. In an example, the buzzer apparatus can include a flexible circuit having a first dielectric layer. A conductive layer can be disposed on the first dielectric layer. A hole can be formed in the first dielectric layer, the conductive layer, or both. A buzzer including a first contact can be located proximate to the hole. A conductive via can be plated or deposited in the hole. At least the first contact can be electrically coupled to the conductive layer by the conductive via.
