An in-the-ear hearing device includes: a microphone configured to receive an audio signal; a signal processor configured to process the audio signal for compensating a hearing loss; a wireless communication unit being connected to the signal processor; a feeding network; a hearing device shell accommodating the microphone and the signal processor; a face plate positioned at the hearing device shell; and an antenna for electromagnetic field emission and electromagnetic field reception, the antenna coupled with the wireless communications unit, wherein the antenna has a first end, and wherein the feeding network is configured to feed the antenna via the first end of the antenna; wherein the antenna extends through the face plate at a first position; at least a part of the antenna extending from the faceplate being arch-shaped; and wherein a second end of the antenna is an electrically open end, or is coupled to a ground potential.

Hearing device with antenna extending from the hearing device

A hearing instrument includes: a microphone for providing a first audio signal; a signal processor for processing the first audio signal into a second audio signal compensating a hearing loss of a user of the hearing instrument; a speaker connected to an output of the signal processor for converting the second audio signal into an output sound signal; a wireless communication unit configured for wireless data communication; and an antenna for electromagnetic field emission and/or reception, the antenna having a first antenna element and additional antenna elements, the first antenna element having a first branch and a second branch being connected with the wireless communication unit, the first branch having a first connecting region and the second branch having a second connecting region; wherein one or each of the additional antenna elements interconnects the first connecting region and the second connecting region.

Multiple arm dipole antenna for hearing instrument

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 behind the ear hearing aid includes: a transceiver for wireless data communication interconnected with an antenna for electromagnetic field emission and electromagnetic field reception, the antenna extending on a first side of a hearing aid and a second side of the hearing aid, a first segment of the antenna extending from proximate the first side of the hearing aid to proximate the second side of the hearing aid; and a feed system configured for exciting the antenna to induce a current in at least the first segment, the current having a first local maxima proximate the first side of the hearing aid and a second local maxima proximate the second side of the hearing aid.

BTE hearing aid having a balanced antenna

A hearing aid with an assembly, the assembly includes: a first side; a second side; a signal processor; a wireless communications unit, the wireless communications unit being connected to the signal processor; and an antenna for electromagnetic field emission and electromagnetic field reception, the antenna being connected to the wireless communications unit, the antenna having an excitation point; wherein a first branch of the antenna extends from the excitation point and a second branch of the antenna extends from the excitation point, at least a part of the second branch extending from the first side to the second side, and wherein the second branch has at least one ground connection.
