A hearing device has a housing in which a receiver is arranged as an electrical component. An antenna arrangement is formed, which has a winding in the form of a coil, which is arranged around the receiver with the interposition of a shielding foil. The shielding foil has a section extending around the receiver and several lugs adjoining it, which project beyond the receiver, the lugs enclosing between them an interspace adjoining the receiver. The shielding foil has in particular two layers, namely a magnetic layer and an electrical shielding layer. By this arrangement an antenna arrangement with high sensitivity is formed and at the same time a shielded partial area is created in the inter-space in which further components can be arranged. Due to the design of the lugs, which are particularly flexible, they can be attached to an inner wall of a housing.

An electromagnetic magnetic shielding material is used deflect electronic and electromagnetic radiation away from an electronic device. In this manner, the electromagnetic shielding material deflects the electronic and electromagnetic radiation from a user of the device to protect the user from any electronic and electromagnetic radiation produced by the electronic device. Additionally, because the electronic and electromagnetic radiation is deflected away from the user, rather than absorbed, a user is able to safely use the electronic device with less or no exposure to electronic and electromagnetic radiation.

An electronic device, method, and computer program product enable limiting electromagnetic emissions from current between batteries. A first battery is positioned proximal to an earpiece speaker within the electronic device. At least one second battery is positioned at a different location within the electronic device that is not proximal to the earpiece speaker. A switch is coupled to a first battery proximal to the earpiece speaker among the plurality of batteries. The switch is selectively toggled to limit current drawn from the first battery while the earpiece speaker is operating, in order to reduce baseband electromagnetic emissions emanating from the first battery.

An apparatus, including an implantable portion of a hearing prosthesis, wherein the apparatus is configured to at least partially cancel a signal in the implantable portion, the signal resulting from an external magnetic field generated external to a recipient of the hearing prosthesis. In an exemplary embodiment, the signal is a signal generated by the external magnetic field interacting with an electrical lead extending between a stimulation output device of the prosthesis and a stimulator and/or receiver of the implantable portion.

Furthermore, the controller unit is configured to predict offset modes (i.e. changes) in the supply voltage based on the enablement signals and a fitting of the measured voltages, and wherein the controller unit is configured to generate a compensating signal based on the fitting and transmit the compensating signal to the digital signal processor, the digital signal processor is then configured to minimize variation in the acoustical signal at the output of the amplifier by compensating the variation in gain of the amplifier based on the compensating signal.
