    摘要： An exemplary self-curling cochlear electrode lead includes a flexible body formed of a flexible insulating material, a shape memory polymer element that is embedded within the flexible body and that is configured to cause the self-curling cochlear electrode lead to transition to a curved spiral shape so as to conform with a curvature of a human cochlea when a temperature of the shape memory polymer element reaches a transition temperature, a plurality of electrode contacts arranged along a side of the flexible body, and a plurality of wires embedded within the flexible body and configured to electrically connect the plurality of electrode contacts to at least one signal source. Corresponding methods of manufacturing a self-curling cochlear electrode lead are also described.

    摘要： An exemplary sound processor included in a cochlear implant system comprises a control facility that represents a first frequency domain signal to a patient by 1) directing a cochlear implant included in the cochlear implant system to apply, during a first stimulation frame, a first monophasic stimulation pulse representative of a first temporal portion of the first frequency domain signal that corresponds to the first stimulation frame, the first monophasic stimulation pulse having a first polarity, and 2) directing the cochlear implant to apply, during a second stimulation frame that is temporally subsequent to the first stimulation frame, a second monophasic stimulation pulse representative of a second temporal portion of the first frequency domain signal that corresponds to the second stimulation frame, the second monophasic stimulation pulse configured to at least partially charge balance the first monophasic stimulation pulse and having a second polarity opposite the first polarity.

    摘要： A headpiece included within a cochlear implant system includes a housing, an interface assembly disposed within the housing and communicatively coupled to a sound processor, and electronic circuitry disposed within the housing. The interface assembly receives, from the sound processor, direct current (DC) power and a self-clocking differential signal comprising a data signal encoded with a clock signal at a clock frequency. The electronic circuitry is configured to recover the data signal and the clock signal from the self-clocking differential signal, to generate synthesized clock signals at first and second carrier frequencies based on the recovered clock signal, to wirelessly transmit alternating current (AC) power at the first carrier frequency based on the DC power, and to wirelessly transmit a data-modulated AC signal at the second carrier frequency based on the recovered data signal. The AC power and data are transcutaneously transmitted to a cochlear implant implanted within a patient.

    摘要： A multi-component system includes a first component housing a first conductive pad, a second conductive pad, and a first portion of a loop antenna that terminates on one side at the first conductive pad and on another side at the second conductive pad. The multi-component system further includes a second component housing a third conductive pad, a fourth conductive pad, and a second portion of the loop antenna that terminates on one side at the third conductive pad and on another side at the fourth conductive pad. The second component is distinct from, and configured to detachably couple with, the first component such that the first and third conductive pads, and the second and fourth conductive pads, respectively form first and second non-galvanic couplings that capacitively couple the first and second portions of the loop antenna while the first and second portions of the loop antenna remain galvanically separated.

    摘要： A binaural hearing system includes a binaural pair of microphones that are configured to be located, respectively, at a first ear and a second ear of a user. The system further includes an interconnected binaural pair of sound processors that are associated with the binaural pair of microphones. The binaural pair of sound processors are configured to preserve, to a partial degree for each of the first and second ears of the user, an interaural level difference (“ILD”) between a first signal generated by the first microphone and a second signal generated by the second microphone. The sound processors do this by performing a contralateral gain synchronization operation to a first partial degree with respect to the first and second signals at the first sound processor, and to a second partial degree with respect to the first and second signals at the second sound processor.

    摘要： An exemplary method includes cochlear implant circuitry, which is disposed within a cochlear implant module configured to be implanted within a patient, performing the following: 1) detecting that an implantable antenna is connected to a modular connector coupled to the cochlear implant module, 2) operating in accordance with a radio frequency (“RF”) inductive link communication protocol while the implantable antenna is connected to the modular connector, 3) detecting a disconnection of the implantable antenna from the modular connector and a connection of an implantable sound processor to the modular connector, and 4) dynamically switching from operating in accordance with the RF inductive link communication protocol to operating in accordance with a hard wired baseband link communication protocol in response to the connection of the implantable sound processor to the modular connector.
