Abstract:
An implanted microphone is provided that allows for isolating an acoustic response of the microphone from vibration induced acceleration responses of the microphone. The present invention measures the relative motion between a microphone diaphragm, which is responsive to pressure variations in overlying media caused by acoustic forces and acceleration forces, and a cancellation element that is compliantly mounted within a housing of the microphone, which moves primarily in response to acceleration forces. When the microphone and cancelation element move substantially in unison to acceleration forces, relative movement between these elements corresponds to the acoustic response of the microphone diaphragm. This relative movement may be directly measured using various optical measuring systems.

Claim (Index 45):
The microphone of  claim 44 , wherein:\n the microphone includes a component having a mass substantially greater than the vibrational component that moves relative to the vibrational component; the microphone is configured such that movement of the mass modulates the light beam reflecting off of a reflective surface that moves due to movement of the mass; and the microphone is configured to output a signal indicative of the vibration of the reflective surface, and thus the microphone vibrational component, based on the modulated light beam modulated due to the vibration of the reflective surface that vibrates due to the vibration of the microphone vibrational component and due to the movement of the reflective surface that moves due to movement of the mass.
