Concept and Evaluation of a New Piezoelectric Transducer for an Implantable Middle Ear Hearing Device

Implantable middle ear hearing devices (IMEHDs) have been developed as a new technology to overcome the limitations of conventional hearing aids. The piezoelectric cantilever transducers currently used in the IMEHDs have the advantages of low power consumption and ease of fabrication, but generate l...
