An acoustic transducer is connected to the limiting structure and extends into the resonant region so that the resonant region mechanically amplifies the deformation of the acoustic transducer at a resonant frequency. An implantable medical device comprising a housing and a limiting structure defining a resonant region in the housing. An acoustic transducer having the shape of a beam is mechanically coupled to the limiting structure and partially extends into the resonant region so that the resonant region mechanically amplifies the deformation of the acoustic transducer at a resonant frequency. An implantable medical device comprising a housing, an acoustic transducer coupled to the housing, and a means for mechanically amplifying the deformation of the acoustic transducer at a resonant frequency. The means defines a resonant region in the housing.
