Patent number: 11252514Abstract: Presented herein are non-surgical or superficial coupling apparatuses for transcutaneous bone conduction devices. A coupling apparatus comprises a drive plate configured to be detachably connected to a transcutaneous bone conduction device. The drive plate is also connected to an earhook (ear hook) configured to fit over/around a recipient's pinna (auricle) to at least partially support the drive plate. An adhesive member may also be provided to secure the drive plate to the recipient's skin.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2020Date of Patent: February 15, 2022Assignee: Cochlear LimitedInventors: Tobias Good, Henrik Fyrlund
