Because the Carina™ Fully Implantable Hearing Device resides completely beneath the skin with nothing in the ear canal, the hearing device is unseen. The device offers the same freedom and comfort of the natural auditory system, allowing the device to be used in all normal environments and activities. Showering, swimming, and sports that are incompatible with traditional hearing devices are now possible.
The Implant
The Carina™ Fully Implantable Hearing Device consists of four primary components: the implant, the programming system, the charger and the remote control.
The implant component of Carina consists of three primary parts: a capsule that houses the electronics, a microphone system, and the Middle Ear Transducer.
Sounds are picked up by a sensitive microphone, amplified according to the wearer’s needs, and converted into an electrical signal. The signal is sent down the lead and into the transducer. The tip of the Carina transducer is in contact with the middle ear anatomy. The transducer translates the electrical signals into a mechanical motion that directly stimulates the middle ear and enables the wearer to perceive sound.
