Abstract: Presented herein are low-power active bone conduction devices that comprise an actuator that is subcutaneously implanted within a recipient so as to deliver mechanical output forces to hard tissue of the recipient. The low-power active bone conduction devices include an energy recovery circuit configured to extract non-used energy from the actuator and to store the non-used energy for subsequent use by the actuator. The low-power active bone conduction devices may also include a multi-bit sigma-delta converter that operates in accordance with a scaled sigma-delta quantization threshold value to convert received signals representative of sound into actuator drive signals.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a first portion configured to be implanted at a first location on or within a recipient's body and a second portion configured to be implanted on or within the recipient's body and configured to be mechanically coupled to a transducer and/or reservoir. The second portion includes an orifice and an elongate element extending through the orifice. The elongate element is configured to be in mechanical communication with a second location on or within the recipient's body, the second location spaced from the first portion. The first portion and the second portion are configured to be implanted with the elongate element in mechanical communication with the second location prior to the second portion being operatively coupled to the transducer and/or the reservoir.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a transducer, a first element, and a second element configured to be at least partially implanted on or within a recipient. The transducer is in mechanical communication with a first portion of the recipient’s body, the first element is configured to be in mechanical communication with the transducer and includes an orifice having a first length and extending from a first surface of the first element to a second surface of the first element. The second element includes a first end and a second end with a second length therebetween, the second length longer than the first length. The second element is configured to extend through the orifice and, during implantation, to be slidably adjusted relative to the orifice and affixed to the first element such that the second end is in mechanical communication with a second portion of the recipient’s body.
