=== Technology === There are many different types of bone conduction hearing aids but most of them work on the same principle and comprise necessary components like [[microphone]]s, [[signal processing]], [[energy supply]] and a [[transducer]] that generates vibrations. The microphone of the hearing aid picks up sound signals from the environment. The signal is then optimized and transmitted to the transducer, which generates vibrations. Depending on the specific bone conduction hearing aid system, the vibrations are either sent directly through the skull bone, or through the skin towards the inner ear. Finally, the inner ear picks up the vibrations and sends them to the [[auditory cortex]] in the brain. Different bone conduction devices contain different features. Here are the key ones.
