A hearing aid having a hearing aid housing, includes: a microphone; a processing unit configured to process an audio signal for compensating a hearing loss of a user; a battery provided closer to a second end of the hearing aid housing than to a first end of the hearing aid housing; one or more wireless communication units for wireless communication; at least a part of a first antenna for electromagnetic field emission and/or electromagnetic field reception, the at least a part of the first antenna being interconnected with one of the one or more wireless communication units; and a second antenna for electromagnetic field emission and/or electromagnetic field reception, the second antenna being interconnected with one of the one or more wireless communication units; wherein the second antenna is between a center axis of the battery and the second end of the hearing aid.

Hearing aid having combined antennas

An antenna device configured to be used at or in proximity to a user, the antenna device includes: an antenna structure having a conducting element, the conducting element extending over a length of between 1/16 of a wavelength and a full wavelength in a direction substantially orthogonal to a surface of the user, when the antenna device is provided in an intended operational position. A device includes: a housing having an operational position with respect to a user of the device; and an antenna structure coupled to the housing and having a conducting element, wherein the antenna structure is configured to emit an electromagnetic field so that the electromagnetic field propagates in a direction having a major directional vector that corresponds with a surface of a user using the device when the housing is at the operative position.

Antenna device

A hearing aid includes: a hearing aid assembly having an antenna for emission of an electromagnetic field, a transceiver for wireless data communication, the transceiver interconnected with the antenna, and a housing for accommodation of the antenna; wherein the antenna comprises a first section having a length between at least one sixteenth wavelength and a full wavelength of the electromagnetic field, the antenna being positioned so that current flows in the first section in a direction that corresponds with an ear-to-ear axis of a user when the housing is worn in its operational position by the user, whereby the electromagnetic field emitted by the antenna propagates along a surface of a head of the user with its electrical field substantially orthogonal to the surface of the head of the user.

Antenna system for a hearing aid

An apparatus including an antenna; a first part including a first ground plane portion; a second part including a second ground plane portion; a first electrical connection between the first part and a second part; and a second electrical connection between the first ground plane portion and the second ground plane portion that includes a reactive component.

Multi-part radio apparatus

This disclosure provides a hearing aid comprising an assembly. The assembly comprises a microphone for reception of sound and conversion of the received sound into a corresponding first audio signal, and a signal processor for processing the first audio signal into a second audio signal compensating a hearing loss of a user of the hearing aid. The assembly comprises a wireless communication unit configured for wireless communication connected with an antenna for emission and/or reception of an electromagnetic field. The antenna comprises a first feed point connected to the wireless communication unit; and a second feed point. The antenna comprises a first branch connected to the first feed point.

Hearing aid with an antenna

A hearing aid includes: a microphone configured to receive sound; a processing unit configured to provide a processed audio signal for compensating a hearing loss of a user; a printed circuit board comprising a first layer; an antenna provided as an electrically conductive material on the first layer; a wireless communication unit for wireless communication; one or more flexible printed circuit board having a first flexible printed circuit board; and a polarization element configured for forming a polarization of the antenna, where the polarization element is on the first flexible printed circuit board.

Hearing aid with antenna on printed circuit board

A hearing aid system comprising a microphone device for wireless communication with a hearing aid to be worn at or in proximity to a first user, the microphone device configured to be worn at or in proximity to a second user, the microphone device includes: a housing; a microphone for conversion of an acoustic sound signal into an electrical signal; a transceiver for wireless radio frequency communication; a first antenna connectable to the transceiver; and a second antenna connectable to the transceiver; wherein the first antenna is accommodated within the housing; and wherein the second antenna is external to the housing such that the second antenna can be carried at or in proximity to the second user at a distance from the housing; and wherein the microphone device further comprises a distributor for distributing power to the first antenna, to the second antenna, or to both.

Hearing aid system and a microphone device

An apparatus including an antenna; a first part including a first ground plane portion; a second part including a second ground plane portion; a first electrical connection between the first part and the second part; and a second electrical connection between the first ground plane portion and the second ground plane portion that includes a reactive component.

A hearing aid includes a housing, and a hearing aid assembly accommodated in a housing, the hearing aid assembly having a first antenna element configured for emission of an electromagnetic field, and a second antenna element comprising a first section and a parasitic antenna element, wherein the first antenna element, the first section, and the parasitic antenna element are configured so that a total electromagnetic field emitted from the hearing aid assembly is substantially the same irrespective of whether the housing is worn in its operational position on a right hand side or a left hand side of a user.

A hearing aid includes: a hearing aid housing; a microphone coupled to the hearing aid housing for reception of sound and conversion of the received sound into a corresponding first audio signal; a signal processor in the hearing aid housing for processing the first audio signal into a second audio signal compensating a hearing loss of a user of the hearing aid; a wireless communication unit connected to the signal processor for wireless data communication; and an attachment member connectable to the hearing aid housing; wherein the wireless communication unit is coupled with an antenna having a first pole element and a second pole element for emission and reception of an electromagnetic field; and wherein at least a part of the first pole element extends in the attachment member, and the second pole element extends in the hearing aid housing.
