Definitions
- the present invention relates to a hearing aid, comprising at least one microwave generator which receives an electrical signal from a sound transducing unit, for example a microphone, and gener ⁇ ates a frequency-modulated electrical signal composed of bursts, the burst frequency depending on the sounds picked up by the sound transducing unit, which frequency-modulated signal is fed to a radiator which generates microwave radiation made up of bursts.
- a hearing aid is disclosed by US Patent Specification US-A-4,877,027.
- a device is described therein in which a deaf per ⁇ son is irradiated with microwaves having a pattern which is such that when they arrive at the brain of said deaf person, they excite a hearing sensation.
- Figure 2 shows a cross section through a hearing organ in which a hearing aid according to the invention is fitted in the ear canal.
