🚀 Exciting Breakthrough in Hearing Technology! We’re thrilled to share a groundbreaking development in hearing aid technology, recently published in the Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering. The research introduces the “UmboMic,” a prototype piezoelectric cantilever microphone that promises to revolutionize the way we think about hearing assistance. Key Highlights: • The UmboMic is designed for totally-implantable cochlear implants, eliminating the need for external hardware. • Crafted from polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF), it boasts a low Young’s modulus and is biocompatible, fitting snugly in the middle ear. • It measures the motion of the eardrum’s underside at the umbo with remarkable precision. • A specially developed low noise charge amplifier works in tandem with the UmboMic sensor, enhancing its performance significantly. Impactful Results: • Tested in human temporal bones, the UmboMic achieved an equivalent input noise of 32.3 dB SPL across a frequency range of 100 Hz to 7 kHz. • Demonstrated good linearity and a flat frequency response within 10 dB from about 100 Hz to 6 kHz. The Future of Hearing Aids: This proof-of-concept represents a significant leap towards a totally-implantable cochlear implant. Such a device would not only improve hearing but also the overall quality of life for cochlear implant users, offering a seamless, more natural hearing experience.
