Methods and apparatus for transmitting vibrations via an electronic and/or
transducer assembly through a dental implant are disclosed herein. The
assembly may be attached, adhered, or otherwise embedded into or upon the
implant to form a hearing assembly. The electronic and transducer
assembly may receive incoming sounds either directly or through a
receiver to process and amplify the signals and transmit the processed
sounds via a vibrating transducer element coupled to a tooth or other
bone structure, such as the maxillary, mandibular, or palatine bone
structure.
