vibrations of the diaphragm 12 the microphone transducer 18 may be defined by any of a wide variety of electroacoustic transducers including for example capacitor arrangements e g electret microphones and electrodynamic arrangements one or more processor s and or circuit component s 60 and an on board energy storage device not shown may be supportably mounted to a circuit board 64 disposed within implant capsule 100 in the embodiment of fig2 the circuit board is supportably interconnected via support s 66 to the implant capsule 100 in the embodiments of fig3 and 4 the circuit board 64 is supportably interconnected via support s 66 to the support member 15 of the microphone assembly 10 the processor s and or circuit component s 60 may process the output signal of microphone transducer 18 to provide a drive signal to an implanted transducer the processor s and or circuit component s 60 may be electrically interconnected with an implanted inductive coil assembly not shown wherein an external coil assembly i e selectively locatable outside a patient body may be inductively coupled with the inductive coil assembly to recharge the on board energy storage device to provide program instructions to the processor s 60 etc as may be appreciated in the embodiments shown in fig2 and 4 vibrations transmitted through a patient 39 s skull will cause vibration of the implant capsule 100 and microphone assembly 10 relative to the skin that overlies the given embodiment in this regard the movement of the diaphragm 12 relative to the overlying skin may result in the exertion of a force on the diaphragm 12 the exerted force may cause undesired vibration of the diaphragm 12 which may be included in the electrical output of the transducer 18 as.
