Small meander line antenna for in-the-ear hearing device

Abstract

Small meander line antenna for in-the-ear hearing device, and associated systems and methods are disclosed. In one embodiment, a hearing device includes a housing configured for insertion in an ear canal of a user; and a face plate of the housing configured to carry electronic components of the hearing device. A meander line antenna is operatively coupled to the electronic components of the hearing devices, where conductive traces of the meander line antenna are at least partially shaped as meandering folds that are configured perpendicularly with respect to a principal plane of the face plate.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
