An implantable hearing aid transducer interface disposable between an
implantable transducer and a mounting apparatus and having at least a
portion that is displaceable in response to a predeterminable range of
transducer movement. According to one aspect of the invention, the
predeterminable range of transducer movement includes movement in
response to a physiological movement of an auditory component that
results in pressure on the implantable transducer. In this case, the
compliant interface permits adaptive movement of the implantable
transducer in response to the pressure to maintain a desired interface
between the implantable transducer and an auditory component. According
to another aspect, the predeterminable range of transducer movement may
be transducer vibration resulting from an acoustic stimulation of an
auditory component by the implantable transducer. In this case, the
compliant interface reduces the transmission of transducer vibration over
a feedback path to a microphone of a hearing aid.
