A Polymeric Micro-Cantilever Resonator Array and Its Implications in Auditory Prostheses

技術應用
This polymeric micro-cantilever resonator array has a great potential for achieving unparalleled real-time processing with a high frequency resolution and extremely low power consumption. Their usage in hearing aid and cochlear implant applications should be seriously explored.
詳細技術說明
University of California, Irvine researchers have developed a polymeric micro-cantilever resonator array that mimics the biological front-end processing in the cochlea.
*Abstract

Ten percent of the general population suffers from hearing loss and that number rises to thirty five percent for people over sixty-five years of age. However, current digital hearing aids and cochlear implants to ameliorate hearing loss have their disadvantages. Some of these include high power consumption and long processing time associated with a large number of channels which increases its cost and size and limits its utility.

Title: Optical waveguide vibration sensor for use in hearing aid
Usefulness: Optical waveguide vibration sensor for use in hearing aid
Summary: In hearing enhancement apparatus (claimed) such as cochlear implant and hearing aid implanted in human or veterinary patient's middle ear or mastoid cavity. Also applicable for use in remote listening device e.g. wiretaps or bugs and non-acoustic devices e.g. earthquake sensors.
Novelty: MEM type vibration detector/transducer for hearing aid, has resonator to modulate intensity of light passing between LED and photodiode in response to received vibrations
