Abstract

The implanted hearing aid system has a microphone (10) coupled via an audio signal processing path with electronic signal processing and an amplification circuits (40,50,80) to an electromechanical transducer (20). An electronic audiometer module (90 incorporated in the audio signal processing path of the hearing aid system, for providing audiometry signals for audiological subjective evaluation of the electromechanical transducer.
