Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9102503A1] The invention provides a hearing aid of the kind which comprises a transmitter element and a receiver-transducer element comprising a vibrating element. The receiver element is suitable for being placed, preferably movably, in the mouth of the user and comprises a means (3) for supporting and holding the vibrating element (2), said means being formed so that when the vibrating element is in place it is in permanent contact either with at least one tooth (4) or with the palate bone, thereby providing sound transmission to the inner ear by means of bone conduction.
