A hearing device includes: an input module for provision of a first input signal, the input module comprising a first microphone; a processor for provision of a processor output signal based on the first input signal; a suppressor for provision of a first suppressor output signal based on one or more suppressor input signals including a first suppressor input signal; a first adder coupled to the suppressor, the first adder configured for provision of a first adder output signal based on at least a part of the processor output signal and the first suppressor output signal; and a receiver for converting an output signal based on the first adder output signal to an audio output signal; wherein the suppressor is configured to apply a first delay and a first filter with a first gain to at least a part of the first suppressor input signal.

A hearing aid, in particular a behind-the-ear hearing assistance aid, contains a transmitting and/or receiving unit having an antenna element for wireless signal transmission and for wireless energy transfer to an energy store. The antenna element is formed as a foil structure, which at least sectionally encloses the energy store.

A processor comprises instructions to adjust a bias of an input signal in order to decrease a duty cycle of a pulse modulated optical signal. The bias can be increased, decreased, or maintained in response to one or more measured values of the signal. In many embodiments, a gain of the signal is adjusted with the bias in order to inhibit distortion. The bias can be adjusted slowly in order to inhibit audible noise, and the gain can be adjusted faster than the bias in order to inhibit clipping of the signal. In many embodiments, one or more of the bias or the gain is adjusted in response to a value of the signal traversing a threshold amount. The value may comprise a trough of the signal traversing the threshold.

An antenna for inductively transmitting information and/or energy, in particular a hearing aid antenna, has a foil-like antenna base body that has a central coil core section that holds a first coil, and outer antenna sections arranged opposite one another on both sides of the central coil core section. The outer antenna sections respectively have an edge-side coil core section that adjoins the central coil core section and holds a second coil. The outer antenna sections are at an angle relative to the central coil core section. There is also described a device, in particular a hearing device, which is preferably a hearing aid, with such an antenna.

Presented herein are techniques for time interleaving the sampling of input signals with the delivery of stimulation signals to a recipient of an implantable electrically-stimulating hearing prosthesis. The input signals, which are received via one or more input channels and sampled by a sound processing unit, are susceptible to electrical feedback from the stimulation signals. As such, in accordance with embodiments presented herein, the sampling of the input signals by the sound processing unit, and the delivery of the stimulation signals to the recipient, are synchronized with one another so as to avoid stimulation-evoked electrical feedback within the input signals.

A sensor package can include a substrate including a plurality of layers. The plurality of layers can include a first pair of layers and a second pair of layers different from the first pair of layers. The substrate can have a first side and a second side opposite the first side. The sensor package can include a transducer coupled to the second side of the substrate. The sensor package can include an inductor electrically coupled to the transducer. The inductor can be configured as a single layer trace on an inductor layer within the substrate and disposed between the first pair of layers within the substrate. The first pair of layers can be more distal from the second side of the substrate than the second pair of layers.

The present disclosure provides for an arrangement of components within a hearable device, such as earbuds, to reduce H field coupling for E noise improvement. A battery is positioned above a magnet and speaker, such that the battery is not coaxially aligned with either the magnet or the speaker. An internal positive tab of a battery is positioned farthest from a speaker yoke, while an internal negative tab of the battery is closer to the speaker yoke. Magnetic flux poles of a contact magnet have different contributions for electric field coupling.

Disclosed is a system, a hearing device and a method for encapsulating one or more electronic components on a substrate. The method comprises providing a dam on the substrate, the dam is provided around the one or more electronic components, the dam comprises a dam material comprising an electrically conducting material.

The method comprises applying a cover material on the first surface of the solidified fill encapsulation material, the cover material comprising an electrically conducting material, whereby the one or more electronic components are encapsulated and electromagnetically shielded.

As disclosed, an external device is associated with the recipient of a hearing prosthesis and provides to the hearing prosthesis a control signal carrying an indication that the recipient is looking at output of the external device, perhaps including an indication of one or more characteristics of visual output and/or audio output from the external device. In response to such a control signal, the hearing prosthesis then automatically configures its sound processor in a manner based at least in part on the provided indication, such as to help process audio coming from the external device and/or to process audio in a manner based on the indicated characteristic(s) of visual output and/or audio output.

A surface mount package for a micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) microphone die is disclosed. The surface mount package features a substrate with metal pads for surface mounting the package to a device's printed circuit board and for making electrical connections between the microphone package and the device's circuit board. The surface mount microphone package has a cover, and the MEMS microphone die is substrate-mounted and acoustically coupled to an acoustic port provided in the surface mount package. The substrate and the cover are joined together to form the MEMS microphone, and the substrate and cover cooperate to form an acoustic chamber for the substrate-mounted MEMS microphone die.
