    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a contact hearing system utilizing an emitter adapted to emit light and a contact hearing device adapted to receive the emitted light and convert that light into sound by mechanical manipulation of a subjects ear drum. In the present invention the emitter may utilize multiple light sources and the multiple light sources may be passed through at least one diffuser in order to generate an emitted light having a broader angle of incidence with little or no loss in received power as measured by a photodetector on the contact hearing device when the contact hearing device is positioned on a subject's tympanic membrane and the emitter is positioned in the subject's ear canal.

    Abstract: A contact hearing protection device is provided. The contact hearing protection device comprises a perimeter platform, a chassis connected to the perimeter platform, a control system including at least one variable limiting element, and an umbo platform connected to the at least one limiting element. A sound level which meets or exceeds a predetermined level is detected, as can be indicated by an increased magnitude of movement of the umbo platform, and the limiting element increases the limiting in response to the increased magnitude of movement of the umbo platform.

    Abstract: A device to transmit an audio signal to a user comprises a transducer and a support. The support is configured for placement on the eardrum to drive the eardrum. The transducer is coupled to the support at a first location to decrease occlusion and a second location to drive the eardrum. The transducer may comprise one or more of an electromagnetic balanced armature transducer, a piezoelectric transducer, a magnetostrictive transducer, a photostrictive transducer, or a coil and magnet. The device may find use with open canal hearing aids.
