Abstract: An inductive coupling unit which can be easily attached to any hearing instrument with an internal receiving coil to connect the instrument to peripheral electronic devices. The coupling unit includes a head including a head cover, a bobbin disposed inside the head cover, a transmitting coil which is wrapped around the bobbin, and a cylindrical magnet placed in the center of the bobbin. An end of a conductive cable is connected to the transmitting coil and the other end is connected to a plug which makes electrical connection with a peripheral device. The coupling unit is placed on the outer surface of the hearing instrument, and the signals from the peripheral device are induced in the receiving coil of the hearing instrument by the transmitting coil to provide clear, high fidelity transmission.
