In this paper, the vibration characteristics of stapes, driven by the implanted differential floating mass transducer (DFMT) in the human middle ear, are analyzed by using an electrical model. The electrical model has been simulated by using the PSpice, in which the simulated results are compared with the experimental results by using the fabricated DFMT and the human temporal bones.

An infrared (IR) transcutaneous remote control was designed for use in the totally implantable middle ear system. Considering the IR reflection, absorption and scattering effect of the skin, the required IR radiant intensity is calculated. After we have implemented the designed control, the transcutaneous operation experiment was carried out using a porcine skin.
