Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Fixationselement für ein implantierbares Mikrofon, wobei das Fixationselement (10, 210, 722, 810) einen im wesentlichen zylindrischen Abschnitt (12, 212, 730, 812) aufweist, der in eine die Gehörgangswand (24) durchquerende Bohrung (26, 226, 726) einsetzbar ist und mindestens bei implantiertem Fixationselement einen mit einem Schallaufnahmeelement (32, 34) versehenden Gehäuseteil des Mikrofons am dessen Außenumfang umschließt. Der zylindrische Abschnitt (12, 212, 730, 812) weist mindestens einen elastisch ausgebildeten Bereich (20, 22, 220, 750, 850) mit vergrößertem Außendurchmesser auf, der so ausgebildet ist, dass er durch Anlage an der Bohrungswand durch elastische Rückstellkräfte für eine hinreichende große Reibung sorgt, um den zylindrischen Abschnitt mindestens in einer der beiden axialen Richtungen der Bohrung (26, 226, 726) zu fixieren.
