  • Hearing aid device having a microphone and neckband to detect the direction of source of sound
    Patent number: 10869139
    Abstract: A hearing aid device is provided. The hearing aid device at least includes a neckband and a first microphone. The neckband is worn on a neck of a user. The neckband defines a virtual datum plane and a first virtual plane parallel to each other, wherein the virtual datum plane overlaps a coronal plane of the user when the neckband is worn by the user, and a skin portion, furthest from the virtual datum plane, of a throat of the user is located on the first virtual plane. The first virtual plane is distant from the virtual datum plane by the first distance. The first microphone is disposed on the neckband, and is distant from the virtual datum plane by the second distance, wherein the second distance is less than the first distance.
