Dual actuator bone conduction hearing prosthesis

A method comprising:

• generating first vibrations using a first transducer having a first resonance frequency in a range of 300 Hz to 1000 Hz;
• transmitting the first vibrations along a transmission path to a bone fixture affixed to a recipient's body;
• generating second vibrations using a second transducer positioned along the transmission path, the second transducer having a second resonance frequency in a range of 2 kHz to 6 kHz;
• and
• transmitting the second vibrations to the bone fixture.

An apparatus comprising:

• a coupler configured to be reversibly attached to and detached from an abutment in mechanical communication with a fixture affixed to a recipient's body, the abutment extending from the recipient's body;
• an electromagnetic transducer in mechanical communication with the coupler and configured to generate first vibrations and to transmit the first vibrations from the electromagnetic transducer via the coupler and the abutment to the fixture;
• and
• at least one piezoelectric transducer positioned between the electromagnetic transducer and the fixture, the at least one piezoelectric transducer configured to generate second vibrations and to transmit the second vibrations to the fixture.
