Method and apparatus for a hearing aid coupling system

A coupler device for coupling an audio signal within a handset to a hearing aid having a T-coil for receiving inductively transmitted audio, comprising:

• a coil wound around a magnetic core and a capacitor coupled together in series, said capacitor and coil being coupled to a speaker in the handset and physically mounted within said handset.

A coupler device for a handset comprising:

• a coil and a coil core around which the coil is wound, said coil and coil core being formed to mount inside a receiver section of a handset for connection to a speaker so as to provide an inductive field that can be coupled through the handset to a coil inside a hearing aid.

• a capacitor connected in series with said coil;
• said coil, coil core and capacitor being encapsulated within a material selected to enable an inductive field generated by the coil at audio frequencies to pass there-through.
