A bone-anchored hearing aid is disclosed. A bone-anchored hearing aid for a recipient may comprise an antenna configured to transmit and/or receive a wireless signal, an electronic circuit configured to receive the wireless signal, one or more vibrator leads, a vibrator configured for receiving an electrical signal from the electronic circuit via the one or more vibrator leads, and the vibrator may be configured to provide a vibrational stimulation to the recipient patient based on the electrical signal. Furthermore, the hearing aid includes a vibrator housing configured to accommodate at least the vibrator, and wherein each of the one or more vibrator leads may be connected to the vibrator and to the vibrator housing via a capacitance, and where the capacitance is configured to eliminate at least a parasitic coupling between the vibrator and the vibrator housing for improving the performance of the antenna.

Antenna for a bone-anchored hearing aid

A method and wireless communication device use a first processing unit to perform a first communication event within a first communication window by use of a first communication protocol, a second processing unit to perform a second communication event within a second communication window by use of a second communication protocol, and a wireless communication unit connected to a radio-frequency antenna to transmit and/or receive a packet wirelessly. The first and second processing units may perform the first and second communication events via the wireless communication unit. The second processing unit or the wireless communication unit may transmit an event signal to the first processing unit when performing the second communication event or receiving a packet, respectively, to allow the first processing unit to arrange the first communication window (or first communication event) with respect to the second communication window (or second communication event) to minimize interference.

Wireless communication device for communicating with multiple external devices via a wireless communication unit

A hearing aid device includes at least one user input unit for controlling an operation mode of the hearing aid device, at least one signal line connecting the at least one user input unit with a control unit for controlling the hearing aid device, and an antenna module comprising at least two electrically conductive and electrically connectable layers forming a layered structure. The at least one user input unit is arranged at one of the layers of the antenna module, and the at least one signal line is provided at an inner surface of one of the layers facing one other layer.

Hearing aid device

A hearing device to be worn at least partly behind an ear of a user, comprising a housing; and a radio-frequency antenna arranged at least partly inside the housing is disclosed. The radio-frequency antenna is configured to receive and/or transmit electromagnetic radio-frequency signals, wherein the radio-frequency antenna comprises: at least one first antenna element with a plate like first surface, wherein the first antenna element has a feed for electrically connecting the radio-frequency antenna, and wherein the first antenna element has a ground.
