1. A hearing aid adapter, comprising:
at least one input element configured to receive hearing aid output signals generated by a sound processor of an acoustic hearing aid;
an adaption module configured to convert the hearing aid output signals into implantable hearing prosthesis input signals; and
a transmitter configured to transcutaneously transmit the implantable hearing prosthesis input signals to an implantable hearing prosthesis implanted within a recipient, the implantable hearing prosthesis being a separate component from the hearing aid adapter.
