Abstract: An apparatus configured to be implanted within a portion of a recipient's body includes a fixation element having a socket and a transducer configured to be received by the socket. The transducer includes a first end portion configured to transmit signals to and/or receive signals from a target portion of the recipient's body. The transducer further includes a second end portion opposite to the first end portion, the first and second end portions spaced from one another along a center longitudinal axis of the transducer. The transducer further includes a surface at the first end portion or between the first and second end portions, the surface configured to be in mechanical communication with the socket with the center longitudinal axis of the transducer extending through the socket. The transducer is configured to be rotated such that an angular orientation of the center longitudinal axis relative to the socket is controllably adjusted.
