摘要

A hearing assistance device comprising a direct bone conduction hearing aid (6) operating on an electrical supply and including a means (10) for generating vibrations and transmitting them directly to the mastoid bone, and a means for receiving and converting sounds (5) into analog signals, then processing these signals according to the needs of the hearing-impaired person before their transmission to said vibration generator (10). Said hearing aid (6) is self-contained, can be implanted and positioned beneath the skin, and includes rechargeable accumulator batteries (12) combined with a receptive induction coil to carry out said recharging by means of an alternating magnetic field generator (13) which is preiodically placed next to said hearing aid (6).
