Abstract: Various embodiments of systems, devices, components, and methods are disclosed for an implantable cover configured to operate in conjunction with a magnetic implant in a bone conduction hearing aid system. According to some embodiments, the cover is configured and shaped to minimize patient discomfort and increase the positionability of the magnetic implant on the patient's skull when the magnetic implant and the cover are together implanted beneath the patient's skin, the cover is disposed over at least portions of the magnetic implant, and the magnetic implant is affixed to the patient's skull.

Abstract: Various embodiments of systems, devices, components, and methods are disclosed for adjustable bone conduction hearing aids where a patient or health care provided can select different positions of a magnetic spacer on a patient's skull after a magnetic implant has been implanted beneath the patient's skin and affixed to the patient's skull.

Abstract: Various embodiments of systems, devices, components, and methods are disclosed for mechanically coupling a bone conduction hearing aid, or a spacer or other device for a bone conduction hearing aid, to an abutment of a bone screw affixed to a patient's skull. Some embodiments of abutment attachment mechanisms employ axially-directed forces to secure a hearing aid to an abutment of a bone screw, while others employ radially directed forces to secure a hearing aid to an abutment of a bone screw.

Abstract: Various embodiments of systems, devices, components, and methods are disclosed for magnetic spacers configured for use in conjunction with bone conduction hearing aids and corresponding magnetic implants. According to some embodiments, the magnetic spacers are configured to vary the amount and/or orientation or direction of magnetic coupling force provided thereby.

Abstract: Various embodiments of systems, devices, components, and methods are disclosed for magnetically coupling ferrous or magnetic spacers of bone conduction hearing aids to ferrous or magnetic bone screws or implants affixed to a patient's skull. In one embodiment, a spacer is provided that is configured to magnetically couple the hearing aid to an abutment and corresponding bone screw, or to an implanted ferrous or magnetic member, that is affixed to the patient's skull.
