  • Publication number: 20250220365
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a hearing aid with an RF antenna arranged within the hearing aid's housing, and a loudspeaker positioned in the ear canal of the user. The RF antenna is configured to receive and/or transmit electromagnetic RF signals within a first frequency range enclosing a first frequency of resonance of the RF antenna corresponding to a first wavelength. The hearing aid further comprises one or more electric leads electrically connected to lead one or more electric signals within a second frequency range not overlapping the first frequency range between the loudspeaker in the ear canal of the user and an electronic circuit in the housing, with the one or more electrical leads being decoupled, at a connector end of the one or more electrical leads, by means of one or more decoupling components.

  • Publication number: 20250080929
    Abstract: A bone-anchored hearing aid is disclosed. A bone-anchored hearing aid for a recipient may comprise an antenna configured to transmit and/or receive a wireless signal, an electronic circuit configured to receive the wireless signal, one or more vibrator leads, a vibrator configured for receiving an electrical signal from the electronic circuit via the one or more vibrator leads, and the vibrator may be configured to provide a vibrational stimulation to the recipient patient based on the electrical signal. Furthermore, the hearing aid includes a vibrator housing configured to accommodate at least the vibrator, and wherein each of the one or more vibrator leads may be connected to the vibrator and to the vibrator housing via a capacitance, and where the capacitance is configured to eliminate at least a parasitic coupling between the vibrator and the vibrator housing for improving the performance of the antenna.
