Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A hearing prosthesis and method for same are disclosed wherein a smaller wireless microphone component transmits audio signals to an external component of the medical device. The external component processes the received audio signal(s) to generate stimulation data. The external component is detachably connected to a coil that transmits power and the stimulation data, via magnetic induction, to an implanted component. The implanted component applies stimulation to a recipient in accordance with the received stimulation data. La présente invention concerne une prothèse auditive et un procédé associé, selon lequel un petit composant de microphone sans fil transmet des signaux audio à un composant externe du dispositif médical. Le composant externe traite le ou les signaux audio reçus pour produire des données de stimulation. Le composant externe est relié de manière amovible à une bobine qui transmet de l'énergie et les données de stimulation, par induction magnétique, à un composant implanté. Le composant implanté applique une stimulation à un receveur en fonction des données de stimulation reçues.
