	<title>New Hearing Aid Uses Your Tooth To Transmit Sound</title>
	<author>ScuttleMonkey</author>
	<datestamp>1265016060000</datestamp>
	<htmltext>kkleiner writes to share a new device from Sonitus Medical that transmits sound to the inner ear <a href="http://singularityhub.com/2010/01/29/new-hearing-aid-uses-your-tooth-to-transmit-sound/">via the teeth and jawbone</a>.  Dubbed "SoundBite," the device captures sound using a microphone in the ear and transmits to an in-the-mouth device that in turn sends the sounds through the jaw.  <i>"There are other hearing aid devices that utilize bone conduction. Most, however, use a titanium pin drilled into the jaw bone (or skull) to transmit sound to the cochlea. SoundBite seems to be the first non-surgical, non-invasive, easily removable device. While they are likely years from retail production, Sonitus Medical plans on having SoundBite ITMs fitted to each individual's upper back teeth and fabricated fairly quickly (1 to 2 weeks). A complete system is planned to include two ITMs, 1 BTE, and a charger. In the wider world of cochlear implants, SoundBite may only be fit for relatively specialized use. Still, the ability to easily upgrade or replace individual components makes the device competitive. A similar device could be adapted to provide audio for a personalized augmented reality system. Perhaps the Bluetooth headset of the future will involve actual teeth."</i></htmltext>

	<htmltext>My understanding is that Beethoven held a ruler (or equivalent) between his teeth and rested it on the piano so he could hear it.  And it would most likely have been a piano rather than a clavichord, which even in Beethoven's day was considered an old-fashioned instrument.  Cristofori invented the piano in about 1707, and the other keyboard instruments (harpsichord, clavichord, virginal, essentially everything except organ) fell out of favor after the advantages of the piano became obvious.</htmltext>

	<htmltext><p>I saw/heard an external bone conduction device with no spill over into the air, at the Lake County, Indiana fair around 1962 give or take a couple years.
