An In The Ear (ITE) microphone improves the acoustic response of a Behind The Ear (BTE) Implantable Cochlear Stimulation (ICS) system during telephone use. An acoustic seal provided by holding a telephone earpiece against the ear provides improved coupling of low frequency (up to about 1 KHz) sound

An In The Ear (ITE) microphone improves the acoustic response of a Behind The Ear (BTE) Implantable Cochlear Stimulation (ICS) system during telephone use. An acoustic seal provided by holding a telephone earpiece against the ear provides improved coupling of low frequency (up to about 1 KHz) sound waves, sufficient to overcome losses due to the near field acoustic characteristics common to telephones. In a preferred embodiment, the ITE microphone is connected to a removable ear hook of the BTE ICS system by a short bendable stalk.

대표청구항 ▼

What is claimed is: 1. A Behind The Ear (BTE) Implantable Cochlear Stimulation (ICS) system, comprising: a BTE device, wherein the BTE device includes speech processor: an In The Ear (ITE) microphone, wherein the ITE microphone includes a soundport on one end and multiple terminals on the other; m

What is claimed is: 1. A Behind The Ear (BTE) Implantable Cochlear Stimulation (ICS) system, comprising: a BTE device, wherein the BTE device includes speech processor: an In The Ear (ITE) microphone, wherein the ITE microphone includes a soundport on one end and multiple terminals on the other; means for electrically connecting the terminal end of the ITE microphone to the speech processor of the BTE device; and a bendable, formable stalk having a first end attached to the BTE device and a second end adapted to be attached to the terminal end of the ITE microphone, wherein the stalk includes at least one stiffening member, and wherein the stalk is adapted to position the ITE microphone within the concha of a user's ear so that the soundport of the ITE microphone points axially away from a longitudinal axis of the stalk. 2. The system of claim 1 wherein the ITE microphone is positioned in the ear so that when the earpiece of a communications handset is held to the ear, the soundport is open to the volume between the earpiece and the ear. 3. The system of claim 2 wherein the communications handset is a telephone handset. 4. The system of claim 1 wherein the stalk is adapted to retain a bend once bent, whereby a user may adjust the position of the microphone by bending the stalk. 5. The system of claim 1 wherein the stalk is adapted to connect the ITE microphone to an earhook, and wherein the earhook is removably attachable to the BTE ICS system. 6. The system of claim 5 wherein the earhook is removably attachable to a coaxial connector attached to the case of the BTE ICS system. 7. The system of claim 1 wherein the means for electrically connecting the terminal end of the ITE microphone to the speech processor comprises a plurality of wound wires. 8. The system of claim 7 wherein the plurality of wound wires combine to form the at least one stiffening member of the bendable, formable stalk. 9. The system of claim 8 further including shrink tubing applied over the plurality of wound wires. 10. An Implantable Cochlear Stimulation (ICS) system comprising: a Behind-The-Ear (BTE) speech processor, the BTE speech processor having an earhook adapted to allow the BTE speech processor to be worn behind the ear of a user; and a microphone assembly detachably connected to the BTE speech processor, comprising a microphone, and a bendable, formable stalk, wherein the microphone has a soundport and a plurality of terminals, and is adapted to be electrically connected to the BTE speech processor using a plurality of conductors attached to the plurality of terminals, and wherein at least one of the plurality of conductors is connected to the BTE speech processor through a mating connector, and wherein the bendable, formable stalk has a first end attached to the earhook and a second end attached to the microphone, and wherein the microphone is positioned on the second end of the stalk so as to be adapted to reside within a concha of a user's ear with the soundport directed in a direction set by the user when the BTE unit is worn on the user's ear.
