Abstract: A system includes an earhook having a connector for coupling to a behind-the-ear component of a hearing prosthesis. The earhook further includes a transducer and combined electromagnetic (EM) and magnetic induction (MI) antenna circuitry coupled to the transducer. The combined EM and MI antenna circuitry also includes an electrically conductive portion of the transducer and at least one inductor.

Abstract: For a method to operate a hearing device, a signal is recorded by at least one of several source units (S1, . . . , Sn). Furthermore, at least one of the recorded signals is classified into one or several predefined sound classes, characteristics of the source unit (S1, . . . , Sn), which records the signal, being taken into account during the classification. Finally, a hearing program is selected in the hearing device according to the classification result.

Abstract: At small electric devices, such as in particular medical devices, as e.g. hearing devices, very small electric coils (1) are used. Especially with hearing devices e.g. so-called t-coils are used. Those t-coils are considered and arranged at hearing devices as inductivities with parasitic effects. Due to the very limited space, it is proposed that at very small coils, which are used within the mentioned electric or electronic small devices, the connections of the coil (5, 7) are interlinked directly at the coil (1) over a component (9), an assembly group and/or a circuit. The connections of the coil (5, 7) are arranged on one or more screens or small panels which are firmly arranged on or at the coil comprising so-called pads (6, 8), which connections are interlinked with the use of a capacitor or condenser (9) and onto which pads external connections (11, 13) are directed for the external connecting of the coil.
