Abstract:
A device to transmit an audio signal comprises at least one light source configured to transmit the audio signal with at least one wavelength of light. At least one detector is configured to detect the audio signal and generate at least one electrical signal in response to the at least one wavelength of light. A transducer is supported with and configured to vibrate at least one of an eardrum, an ossicle or a cochlea. Active circuitry is coupled to the transducer to drive the transducer in response to the at least one electrical signal, so as to provide the user with high quality sound.

Claim (Index 17):
A method of stimulating a target tissue with an audio signal having a first energy and a second energy different from the first energy, the method comprising:\n receiving the audio signal with circuitry coupled to an input and at least one light source, wherein the circuitry determines the first energy of the audio signal and the second energy of the audio signal; emitting a pulse modulated light signal using an optical signal from the at least one light source and wherein the circuitry outputs a first amount of bias from the at least one light source and a second amount of bias from the at least one light source to power active circuitry; detecting the pulse modulated light signal to generate an electrical signal in response to the pulse modulated light signal; and stimulating the target tissue with a transducer in response to the electrical signal wherein the transducer is a part of an output transducer assembly; wherein the first amount of bias differs from the second amount of bias in order to accommodate substantially different power consumption of the transducer in response to the first energy different from the second energy and wherein the output transducer assembly is transmitted with the optical signal.
