Abstract: Systems and apparatuses are used to transmit data between external and internal portions of auditory prostheses or other medical devices. The external portion of the auditory prosthesis includes a magnet and an implanted coil that provides stimulation to the device recipient. A shaped shield material can be placed between the external coil and the sound processing hardware to improve efficiency and effectiveness between the external coil and implanted coil. Adverse effects on tuning frequencies can be reduced by disposing the shield material away from the magnet.

Abstract: An apparatus includes implantable first circuitry configured to wirelessly receive power from a device external to the recipient's body, implantable second circuitry configured to provide stimulation signals to a portion of the recipient's body, and implantable third circuitry, at least a portion of the first circuitry and at least a portion of the third circuitry forming a series resonant tank circuit configured to capacitively couple the second circuitry to the first circuitry while galvanically isolating the second circuitry from the first circuitry, such that at least a portion of the electric power is transferred from the first circuitry to the second circuitry through the third circuitry whilst preventing stimulation currents.

Abstract: Presented herein are techniques for selectively disconnecting an implantable rechargeable battery of an implantable component configured to be implanted in a recipient. The implantable rechargeable battery can be temporarily disconnected to extend the calendar life of the implantable rechargeable battery and/or the implantable rechargeable battery can be permanently disconnected. While the implantable rechargeable battery is disconnected (either temporarily or permanently), the implantable component is configured to continue operation using only power signals (power) received from an external device.

Abstract: An apparatus includes at least one housing configured to be implanted on or within a recipients body. The apparatus further includes first circuitry configured to wirelessly receive power from a device external to the recipients body, second circuitry configured to provide stimulation signals to a portion of the recipients body, and at least one power storage device having a discharged state in which the at least one power storage device is discharged to a voltage below a minimum operating voltage of the at least one power storage device. The apparatus further includes third circuitry configured to, while the at least one power storage device is in the discharged state, controllably distribute the power simultaneously to both the second circuitry and the at least one power storage device.
