A14 Physiological Acoustics and Audiology

The work aims to generate audible sound by photoacoustic (PA) excitation of an optically absorbing target, with a future goal to develop a photoacoustics-based bone conduction hearing device. Very few studies have explored photoacoustic bone conduction hearing, existing work either fails to reach clinically relevant hearing levels (i.e. a minimum of 60 dB HL) or requires unsafe power levels....
