Abstract:
An implantable unit of a transcutaneous hearing device and a transcutaneous hearing device comprising the same are disclosed. The implantable unit comprises a receiver element configured to wirelessly receive an electromagnetic wave, a rectifier element configured to generate upper and lower half waveforms of the electromagnetic wave, and a vibrator element configured to electromechanically produce vibration using the half waveforms of the electromagnetic wave. The vibrator element comprises a first vibrator and a second vibrator. The first vibrator is configured to be driven by the upper half waveform of the electromagnetic wave, and the second vibrator is configured to be driven by the lower half waveform of the electromagnetic wave.
