Abstract[English]
An implantable microphone assembly includes a microphone, a diaphragm configured to be mechanically coupled to an anatomical structure of a recipient, and a channel extending from the diaphragm to the microphone. The diaphragm is configured to receive sound-induced vibrations from the anatomical structure, and the channel is configured to transfer the sound- induced vibrations as acoustic pressure from the diaphragm to the microphone. The channel includes an inert gas having a substantially low speed of sound to provide an acoustic resonance frequency between approximately 2 kilohertz (kHz) and approximately 8 kHz.[French]
Un ensemble microphone implantable comprend un microphone, une membrane conçue pour être couplée mécaniquement à une structure anatomique d'un receveur, et un canal s'étendant de la membrane au microphone. Le diaphragme est conçu pour recevoir des vibrations induites par le son provenant de la structure anatomique, et le canal est conçu pour transférer les vibrations induites par le son en tant que pression acoustique du diaphragme au microphone. Le canal comprend un gaz inerte ayant une vitesse de son sensiblement faible pour fournir une fréquence de résonance acoustique comprise entre environ 2 kilohertz (kHz) et environ 8 kHz.
