The floating mass transducer as a microphone—a pilot study
The study suggests that an FMT optimized for microphone properties could be used as a microphone in the middle ear, which would open up new possibilities for the development of fully implantable hearing systems. Further investigations, in particular measurements on the petrous bone, are required to determine the suitability of the FMT as a middle ear microphone more precisely.
