Active middle ear implants or implantable hearing aids are used to treat sensorineural or combined hearing loss. Their coupling to the middle ear structures has a large impact on the success of rehabilitation. Practical issues such as the coupling site, influence of middle ear status, and forward and backward excitation of the inner ear are discussed in the context of biomechanics. For this purpose, experimental studies, model simulations, and current literature data are evaluated. The explanations are intended to contribute to a better understanding of certain procedures in hearing rehabilitation with active implants.
