A hearing system for producing audio signals perceptible to an individual.
The hearing system includes a transducer having a surface adapted to
attach to a middle-ear acoustic member of the individual, wherein the
transducer is responsive to variations in a magnetic field emitted by a
transmitter to directly vibrate the acoustic member. The transmitter is
supported within an ear canal of the individual. The transmitter has a
coil and a core positioned so that the distal end of the core is located
at a predetermined distance and orientation relative to the transducer.
