  • Publication number: 20240056748
    Abstract: A hearing system is disclosed comprising a support unit, and at least one abutment unit, wherein the support unit supports the at least one abutment unit. The at least one abutment unit has a contact surface. The support unit is configured to be placed at a user's head such that the contact surface of the at least one abutment unit contacts the user's head in an area surrounding one of the user's ears, in particular, in an area of one of the user's mastoid bones. The at least one abutment unit comprises a contact element, the contact element being configured to transmit vibrations generated by a vibration generating unit towards the contact surface. The contact element is made of a fiber-reinforced plastic material.

  • Publication number: 20210268281
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, an implantable hearing aid system is disclosed. The implantable hearing aid system includes an external unit which includes an electronic unit operationally coupled to a first inductive coil arrangement configured to transmit power and/or data signals, and where the first inductive coil arrangement includes a loop structure with coils wound around and along at least a part of length of the loop structure, and the loop structure comprises an opening. Furthermore, the implantable hearing aid system includes an implantable unit which comprises a second inductive coil arrangement configured to form a transcutaneous link with the loop structure and to receive the power and/or data signals over the transcutaneous link, and where the second inductive coil arrangement is configured to be implanted fully or partially within a part of an ear of a user of the implantable hearing aid system.
