    Abstract: An apparatus includes first circuitry configured to be implanted on or within a recipient's body and to apply stimulation signals to at least one muscle of a recipient and/or to at least one neuron configured to control the at least one muscle. The apparatus further includes second circuitry configured to be implanted on or within the recipient's body and configured to wirelessly receive electrical power from a power source external to the recipient's body and to provide at least a portion of the received electrical power to the first circuitry. The second circuitry includes a plurality of coils, each coil of the plurality of coils having at least one electrically conductive conduit encircling a center axis of the coil. The coils are configured to be implanted on or within the recipient's body with different orientations and/or positions relative to one another.
