Title
Implantable Microphone With Acoustic Tube For Fully Implantable Hearing Devices
Abstract
Fully Implantable hearing devices consist of a microphone that is implanted under the human skin. However after the implantation, the gain characteristics of the microphone are attenuated at the high frequencies because of the sound filtering effect of the skin and tissue. To solve this problems, we proposed an implantable microphone with an acoustic tube, which generates a resonance effect between the diaphragm and the acoustic transducer inside a case. By performing several experiments in water, it has been confirmed that the frequency response of the implantable microphone at high frequencies can be improved by use of the acoustic tube.
