Hearing device and method for a wireless receiving and/or sending of data

A hearing device, comprising:

• a first portion configured to be arranged at a user and to provide acoustic output to a second portion, wherein said first portion includes an output transducer for converting a signal into the acoustic output;
• the second portion configured to be arranged in an ear canal of said user and to provide said acoustic output to said ear canal;
• a coupling element provided for transmitting said acoustic output to said second portion, the coupling element including
• an electrically conducting element, and
• a tube for acoustically transmitting said acoustic output to said second portion;
• an antenna;
• and
• a wireless interface for receiving and/or sending data through said antenna,
• wherein said electrically conducting element is operatively coupled to said wireless interface and functions as at least a part of said antenna by wirelessly receiving or transmitting RF signals.

A method of wirelessly receiving and/or sending of data in a hearing device comprising a coupling element coupling a first portion and a second portion of said hearing device, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing an electrically conducting element in said coupling element;
• arranging said first portion at a user of said hearing device;
• arranging said second portion in an ear canal of said user;
• operatively coupling said electrically conducting element to a wireless interface of the hearing device;
• and
• wirelessly receiving and/or sending RF signals by said electrically conducting element.
