Title: Using the Floating Mass Transducer (FMT) as a microphone – a possibility to develop a fully implantable CI?
Abstract: Loudspeakers and microphones share common characteristics. Consequently, in early intercommunication systems loudspeakers were used as microphones. Utilising the FMT of the Vibrant®Soundbrige® (VSB) as a microphone has interesting potential applications such as within fully implantable CI.
