Claims (15)
1. Indretning til at sende et audiosignal til en bruger, hvor brugeren har et øre, der omfatter en trommehinde, hvilken indretning omfatter: en transducer (130); og en bærer (120), der er indrettet til anbringelse mindst delvist imod en ydre del af trommehinden, hvor transduceren (130) er koblet til bæreren (120) på et første sted (131) og et andet sted (133) for at drive trommehinden, når bæreren (120) er anbragt mindst delvist imod trommehinden, hvor det først sted (131) af bæreren (120) er indrettet til at blive anbragt over en første trommehindedel, og det andet sted (133) af bæreren (120) er indrettet til at blive anbragt over en anden trommehindedel, hvor det første sted (131) af bæreren (120) er indrettet til at være på linje med mindst en del af ørets malleus, og hvor det andet sted (133) af bæreren (120) er indrettet til at være på linje med et sted væk fra det første sted (131), således at det første sted (131) er adskilt fra det andet sted (133), og hvor bæreren omfatter en indvendig del (840), der omfatter det første sted, og en udvendig del (830), der omfatter det andet sted, hvor den udvendige del omfatter en åbning, der er dimensioneret til at optage den indvendige del, hvor transduceren (130) omfatter en bevægelig struktur, der er koblet til bæreren (120) på det første sted (131) og indrettet til at drive trommehinden på det første sted som reaktion på bevægelse af den bevægelige struktur.
2.
