Examination of a Mechanical Amplifier in the Incudostapedial Joint Gap: FEM Simulation and Physical Model

Examination of a Mechanical Amplifier in the Incudostapedial Joint Gap: FEM Simulation and Physical Model

Implantable assembly components that are biocompatible and highly miniaturized are an important objective for hearing aid development. We introduce a mechanical transducer, which could be suitable as part of a prospective fully-implantable hearing aid. The transducer comprises a sensor and an actuat...
