More particularly, the modulated R-F signal is capacitively coupled to opposite sides of the head at the periaural and/or stylomastoid region through electrodes. A series inductor is included between the source of R-F signals and each of said electrodes and the inductance of said series inductors is related to the capacitance of the coupling electrodes and the capacitance of the head of the subject so as to tune the R-F signals in peak LC series resonance substantially at the selected carrier wave frequency regardless of changes in the physiology of the subject, said means being a necessary condition for auditory information transfer to the deaf.,下面是Method and apparatus for hearing by biodetection and biotransduction of radiofrequency energy专利的具体信息内容。
