Abstract:
The present invention provides hearing systems and methods that provide an improved high frequency response. The high frequency response improves the signal-to-noise ratio of the hearing system and allows for preservation and transmission of high frequency spatial localization cues.

Claim (Index 24):
A method comprising:\n receiving electrical signals with a transmitter assembly at least partially positioned behind a pinna of a user to provide an open ear canal, wherein the electrical signals are indicative of the ambient sound captured by an input transducer, the ambient sound including high frequency localization cues; filtering the signals at the transmitter assembly with a signal processor; delivering, with a transmitter of the transmission assembly, both power and the filtered signals through a tip of a transmission element of the transmitter assembly to produce mechanical vibrations with an output transducer positioned on a tympanic membrane of the user; amplifying the filtering signals that comprise the high frequency localization cues when the magnitude of the filtering signals is below a saturation level; and switching off the filtered signals when the magnitude of the filtered signals is above the saturation level.
