TL;DR: An at least partially implantable system for rehabilitation of a hearing disorder with at least one acoustic sensor (microphone) for picking up an acoustic sensor signal and converting it into corresponding electrical signals, an electronic signal processing unit for audio signal processing and amplification, an electrical power supply unit which supplies individual components of the system with energy as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, a partially or fully implantable hearing system which is provided with a unit ( 14, 30, 460 ) for electromechanical or electroacoustic stimulation of the middle ear or inner ear or direct electrical stimulation of inner ear.

TL;DR: In this paper, an implantable system for rehabilitation of a hearing disorder with an arrangement for processing and/or generation of signals is provided including a wireless telemetry unit for data transmission between the implantable part of the system and an external unit.

TL;DR: An at least partially implantable system for rehabilitation of a hearing disorder comprising at least one acoustic sensor for picking up acoustic sensor signals, an electronic signal processing unit for audio signal processing and amplification of the electrical sensor signals; an electrical power supply unit which supplies individual components of the system with energy; an electromechanical output transducer which has an electrical input impedance and which, when implanted, is coupled via a coupling element to at least 1 of a middle ear and an inner ear for mechanical stimulation thereof; and means for objectively determining the quality of coupling between the output transducers

TL;DR: A system for rehabilitation of a hearing disorder which comprises at least one acoustic sensor for picking up an acoustic signal and converting it into an electrical audio signal, an electronic signal processing unit for audio signal processing and amplification, an electrical power supply unit which supplies individual components of the system with current, and an actuator arrangement which is provided with one or more electroacoustic, electromechanical or purely electrical output-side actuators or any combination of these actuators for stimulation of damaged hearing is described in this paper.
