Embodiments herein relate to ear-wearable devices. In an embodiment, a hearing aid assembly is included having a housing with a top case and a bottom case. The housing defines an electronics cavity between the top case and the bottom case and a housing inlet between the bottom case and the top case. The hearing aid assembly can include an electronics assembly positioned within the electronics cavity, the electronics assembly defining a microphone inlet, wherein an acoustic passageway extends inward from the housing inlet to the microphone inlet. The electronics assembly includes a microphone, and the acoustic passageway includes a front trap portion located below the front microphone inlet. Other embodiments are also included herein.

Ear-wearable device with foreign material trap

An antenna for a hearing instrument is connected to a first feedline segment extending laterally along an inner posterior surface of a shell of the hearing instrument. The antenna is also connected to a second feedline segment extending laterally along the inner posterior surface of the shell. The antenna comprises a first arm connected to the first feedline segment. The first arm initially extends in an inferior direction along the inner posterior surface of the shell from the first feedline segment. A second arm is connected to the second feedline segment and initially extends in a superior direction along the inner lateral surface of the shell from the second feedline segment.
