This paper introduces a directional MEMS microphone designed for hearing aid applications appropriate to low-frequency hearing impairment, inspired by the hearing mechanism of a fly, the female Ormia ochracea. It uses both piezoelectric and capacitiv... Read More about A low-frequency dual-band operational microphone mimicking the hearing property of Ormia Ochracea.

This work introduces a MEMS microphone with two pairs of orthogonal and joined sensor membranes, with independent acoustic directionality responses, leading to a 3D sound localization potential. This single microphone can thus be regarded as two indi... Read More about A MEMS microphone inspired by Ormia for spatial sound detection.
