Abstract: A hearing device includes: a wireless communication unit configured for receiving an antenna signal carrying information in a first frequency band having a first centre frequency, and information in a second frequency band having a second centre frequency; wherein the wireless communication unit comprises: a local oscillator configured to provide a local oscillator signal; a mixer configured to receive the local oscillator signal and mixing the antenna signal with the local oscillator signal, the mixer providing an output signal; and an IF filter configured to receive the output signal; wherein an IF centre frequency associated with the IF filter is equal to a fraction of a difference between the second centre frequency and the first centre frequency; and wherein a local oscillator frequency associated with the local oscillator is equal to a difference between the second centre frequency and the IF centre frequency.

Abstract: A hearing prosthesis includes: a hearing loss processor configured to process an audio signal and compensate a hearing loss of a user of the hearing prosthesis, and output a hearing loss compensated audio signal based on the audio signal; an output transducer configured to convert the hearing loss compensated audio signal into an auditory output signal to be received by a human auditory system of the user; a near-field magnetic induction communication unit configured for wireless communication; and a magnetic field antenna operatively connected with the near-field magnetic induction communication unit; wherein at least a part of the magnetic field antenna is embedded in a multi-layer printed circuit board.
