An implantable vibrator bone-conduction hearing system is an electromechanical device designed to assist individuals with conductive or mixed hearing loss. It functions by capturing sound through an external processor and converting it into signals that are transmitted through the skin to an implanted vibrator, which then stimulates the inner ear through skull bone vibrations.
These systems are comprised of both external components and a sterile internal assembly that requires surgical placement within the mastoid or temporal bone. Users should note that these devices rely on wireless transcutaneous signal transmission to bridge the gap between the external sound processor and the implanted hardware.
