A canal hearing device (90) has a subminiature filament assembly (30) which vibrates and directly drives the tympanic membrane (18) and imparts audible mechanical vibrations thereto. The filament assembly (30) is partially supported by the tympanic membrane via capillary adhesion thereto and is dynamically coupled to a stationary vibration force element (70) positioned at a distance from the tympanic membrane within the ear canal. The elongated filament assembly (30) is freely movable within an operable range and is essentially floating with respect to the vibration force element (70). In a preferred embodiment, the vibrational filament assembly comprises a magnetic section (45) which is insertable into the air-core of an electromagnet coil (71). The filament assembly (30) is coupled to the tympanic membrane via an articulated tympanic contact coupler.

L'invention concerne un appareil auditif (90) intracanalaire possédant un ensemble filament subminiature (30) qui vibre et entraîne directement la membrane du tympan (18) en lui imprimant des vibrations mécaniques audibles. L'ensemble filament (30) est en partie soutenu par la membrane du tympan par adhésion capillaire à celle-ci, et il est couplé dynamiquement à un élément de force de vibration stationnaire (70) placé à une certaine distance de la membrane du tympan au sein du canal auditif. L'ensemble filament allongé (30) peut se déplacer librement dans un rayon de fonctionnement et flotter par rapport audit élément de force de vibration (70). Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, l'ensemble filament vibrant comporte une partie magnétique (45) pouvant être insérée dans le noyau d'air d'une bobine électromagnétique (71). L'ensemble filament (30) et couplé à la membrane du tympan au moyen d'un coupleur de contact tympanique articulé.
