Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9734441A1] The aim is to improve a process and device for transmitting sound with the aid of at least one sound-transmission element which emits sound signals that can be perceived by a person, so as to ensure that low-frequency sound signals, as well as medium- and higher-frequency sound signals, can be transmitted very effectively in a technically simple and therefore inexpensive manner. To that end it is proposed that at least one sound-transmission element should be so arranged on the listener's body as to create a direct sound-transmission pathway from the sound transmission element via the Eustachian tubes to the auditory ossicles.
