What is a Bone Conduction Implant? A bone conduction implant is
suitable for individuals affected by conductive hearing loss,
mixed hearing loss or single-sided deafness. Because sound is
transmitted to the inner ear via bone conduction, problems in
the outer or middle ear are bypassed. The Bonebridge is the
world’s first active bone conduction implant on the market. It
is a semi-implantable hearing implant system in which the
implant is positioned completely under the intact skin. The
implant receives signals from an externally worn audio
processor. The Bone Conduction Implant (BCI) is positioned
completely under the intact skin and contains a magnet that
holds the audio processor in place above the implant by means of
magnetic attraction. - Audio processor The audio processor is
held in position on the head by magnetic attraction and can be
worn underneath the hair. It contains the battery and the
microphones and is equipped with a fully digital signal
processor.
