Abstract
The invention regards a communication device which is adapted for placement in a users ear and comprises a shell part enclosing an input transducer for receiving an input signal, a signal processing device and an output transducer for providing a signal perceivable as sound, a battery located at a surface part of the shell which is facing away from the head of the user, a transmission and reception circuit for transmission and/or reception of electromagnetic energy, and where an antenna for radiating and/or receiving electromagnetic energy is arranged with a first surface turned towards the surroundings and a second surface located in close proximity of the battery whereby the antenna forms a loop with a loop axis pointing away from the ear and head, whereby the loop material has a wider extension in the direction of the loop axis than in the direction perpendicular to the loop axis.
