Abstract:
A method for transmitting an alarm for a circulatory support system includes receiving an inaudible signal with a signal processor coupled to a hearing implant anchored in a bone behind a patient's ear. The inaudible signal is associated with an alarm of the system. A second alarm signal is transmitted along the bone to an inner ear of the patient based on the inaudible signal such that it is audibly perceived. A method for transmitting an alarm for a circulatory support system to a hearing implant anchored behind an ear of a patient includes receiving an inaudible signal with a signal processor that is coupled to the hearing implant. The inaudible signal is associated with an alarm of the system. A second alarm signal is transmitted to an inner ear of the patient based on the inaudible signal such that the second alarm signal is audibly perceived by the patient.
