Abstract
An ear-worn electronic device comprises an enclosure and electronics positioned in the enclosure. A power source is disposed in the enclosure and coupled to the electronics. An antenna is disposed in or supported by the enclosure and coupled to the electronics. The antenna comprises a dipole antenna combined with a loop antenna. An input impedance of the antenna remains substantially constant over a predetermined dielectric constant bandwidth and a predetermined frequency bandwidth.
