Abstract
A hearing aid includes: a hearing aid assembly having an antenna for emission of an electromagnetic field, a transceiver for wireless data communication, the transceiver interconnected with the antenna, and a housing for accommodation of the antenna; wherein the antenna comprises a first section having a length between at least one sixteenth wavelength and a full wavelength of the electromagnetic field, the antenna being positioned so that current flows in the first section in a direction that corresponds with an ear-to-ear axis of a user when the housing is worn in its operational position by the user, whereby the electromagnetic field emitted by the antenna propagates along a surface of a head of the user with its electrical field substantially orthogonal to the surface of the head of the user.
Claims2
A hearing aid, comprising:
- a hearing aid assembly having
- an antenna for emission of an electromagnetic field,
- a transceiver for wireless data communication, the transceiver interconnected with the antenna, and
- a housing for accommodation of the antenna;
- wherein the antenna comprises a first section having a length between at least one sixteenth wavelength and a full wavelength of the electromagnetic field, the antenna being positioned so that current flows in the first section in a direction that corresponds with an ear-to-ear axis of a user when the housing is worn in its operational position by the user, whereby the electromagnetic field emitted by the antenna propagates along a surface of a head of the user with its electrical field substantially orthogonal to the surface of the head of the user.
An antenna system configured to be worn on a body of a user, comprising:
- an antenna for emission of an electromagnetic field;
- and
- a transceiver for wireless data communication, the transceiver interconnected with the antenna;
- wherein the antenna comprises a first section having a length being between at least one sixteenth wavelength and a full wavelength of the electromagnetic field, the antenna being positioned so that current flows in the first section in a direction substantially orthogonal to the body of a user when the antenna system is worn in its operational position by the user, whereby the electromagnetic field emitted by the antenna propagates along a surface of the body of the user with its electrical field substantially orthogonal to the surface of the body of the user.
