Modulation in a contact hearing system

A contact hearing system, comprising:

• a. a lateral ear canal assembly configured for placement in an ear canal of the user, the lateral ear canal assembly comprising a transmitter configured to transmit an audio signal, the transmitter comprising:
• i. a driver circuit electrically connected to one or more series capacitors and comprising a first amplifier and a second amplifier, wherein the first amplifier is configured to receive a first mixed signal, and wherein the second amplifier is configured to receive a second mixed signal;
• and
• ii. a tank circuit electrically connected to the driver circuit and including a first coil;
• and
• b. a medial ear canal assembly configured for placement on a tympanic membrane of the user, the medial ear canal assembly comprising a receiver configured to receive the audio signal, the receiver comprising:
• i. a second coil configured to inductively couple to the first coil;
• ii. one or more capacitors electrically connected to the second coil;
• and
• iii. one or more diodes electrically connected to the one or more capacitors.
