1. Bone anchored hearing implant device for enhancing the hearing capability of a user comprising:
at least one antenna element for receiving signals provided by an external device, in particular by at least one external hearing device,
at least one modulation device comprising a demodulation circuitry for demodulating the signals received by the antenna element,
at least one transducer, in particular for generating vibrations depending on the demodulated signals,
at least one connection circuit for transferring the signals received by the antenna element to the at least one modulation device and for transferring the demodulated signals to the transducer,
at least one protection circuit for at least partly short-circuiting the connection circuit, wherein:
the short-circuit at least partly prevents a transfer of the demodulated signals to the transducer if a certain threshold value indicative of a parameter of the demodulated signals is exceeded, or
the short-circuit at least partly prevents a transfer of the signals received by the antenna element to the modulation device if a certain threshold value indicative of a parameter of the signals received by the antenna element is exceeded.
