Abstract

This chapter is a condensed history of the design and development of the Vibrant Soundbridge that introduces and discusses the origins of the Floating Mass Transducer and the Vibrant Soundbridge and the design philosophy that led to the invention and realization of the system. The Vibrant Soundbridge has been worked on and studied by a large group of engineers, researchers, physicians and formal advisory boards whose combined efforts have led to approval for the system as it stands today. The system and operation as well as the possible future applications for middle ear implant technology are discussed. The author also thanks the many people that have contributed to the use and increasing adoption of the Vibrant Soundbridge to date.
