Samba 2 BB Audio Processor - Bone-conduction hearing implant system sound processor

Intended purpose

The SAMBA 2 Audio Processor is an external part of the Bonebridge system. The Bonebridge is intended to treat patients with either conductive or mixed hearing losses or patients suffering from single-sided sensorineural deafness. The Bonebridge augments hearing by providing acoustic information to the inner ear via bone conduction. This is achieved by actuating a vibratory transducer, which is implanted in the temporal bone.

Functional description

An external component of the Bonebridge system, the AP is worn BTE via opposing magnets in the AP & implant. Powered by a single standard battery, the AP includes 2 microphones to pick up sound from the environment, sound processing circuitry to modify the output signal to customer’s specific requirements, and a digital compression processor. Fitting the AP activates the Bonebridge System. Exchangeable components allow the AP to be customized
