External electronic ear device and artificial ear implant device

Abstract

The invention provides an external electronic ear device, which is used in an artificial ear system. The external electronic ear device includes a housing, an external magnet, a microphone, a processing circuit and a wireless signal transmission circuit. The external magnet, microphone and processing circuit are all installed in the housing. The external magnet is used to sense the receiver magnet placed inside the user's scalp, and the microphone is used to receive external sounds and generate sound signals. The processing circuit is used for converting the sound signal into an electrode driving signal. The wireless signal transmission circuit is used to transmit the electrode driving signal to the artificial ear implant device, so that the artificial ear implant device converts the electrode driving signal into multiple electrode currents, and then through multiple corresponding electrodes, generates in the cochlear nerve conduction part Multiple electrical stimuli. In addition, the present invention also proposes a corresponding artificial ear implantation device. The external electronic ear device of the artificial ear system of the present invention can be as visually inconspicuous as possible, so that the wearer is more willing to wear the artificial ear.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an external electronic ear device and an artificial ear implantation device, and in particular to an external electronic ear device and an artificial ear implantation device for assisting hearing loss patients to reconstruct hearing. Background technique [0002] Many people are born with hearing loss due to various auditory organ abnormalities or trauma and disease. For children who are born deaf, even learning to speak can be very difficult. Therefore, how to provide auditory reconstruction for deaf people is a very valuable work. [0003] Please refer to figure 1 , figure 1 A traditional artificial ear system is exemplified, which is composed of an external electronic ear device and an artificial ear implant device. The external electronic ear device includes an external magnet 102 , a processing circuit 103 and a microphone 105 , which are used to be worn on the relative position of the user's ear 109 . Wherein...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] Because the design of the external electronic ear device includes the external magnet 102 and the processing circuit 103, not only the size is quite large and very eye-catching, but also the external magnet 102, the processing circuit 103 and the microphone 105 are two parts, which are connected to each other through wires. It is also quite inconvenient to wear
