A headpiece including a housing, a headpiece magnet carried by the housing, and a headpiece antenna carried by the housing.

Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for increasing detune-resiliency of a user device during user-interactions. An antenna bandwidth may be increased, via modification of one or more antenna characteristics and/or the addition of one or more novel antenna components, in order to increase the detune-resiliency of the antenna. Moreover, user interface elements of the user device may be located outside of a protected region of the antenna. Thus, the user device may be more resilient to detuning during user interactions.

The present disclosure relates to a hearing aid with an RF antenna arranged within the hearing aid's housing, and a loudspeaker positioned in the ear canal of the user. The RF antenna is configured to receive and/or transmit electromagnetic RF signals within a first frequency range enclosing a first frequency of resonance of the RF antenna corresponding to a first wavelength. The hearing aid further comprises one or more electric leads electrically connected to lead one or more electric signals within a second frequency range not overlapping the first frequency range between the loudspeaker in the ear canal of the user and an electronic circuit in the housing, with the one or more electrical leads being decoupled, at a connector end of the one or more electrical leads, by means of one or more decoupling components.

A hearing aid, in particular constructed as a classical hearing aid, includes a housing having a baseplate and a housing shell, a number of electrical and/or electronic units, and a transmitting and receiving unit for transmitting and receiving electromagnetic waves. The number of electrical and/or electronic units are fastened on the baseplate. The transmitting and receiving unit includes an electronic circuit for generating a transmission signal and an antenna unit coupled thereon. The antenna unit includes a free arm and the transmitting and receiving unit is configured to inductively feed the transmission signal of the electronic circuit into the antenna unit.

Disclosed is a hearing device configured to be arranged at a user's ear, the hearing device comprising: an input transducer for generating one or more input signals based on a received audio signal; a signal processor configured for processing the one or more input s signals; an output transducer for providing an audio output signal based on an output signal from the signal processor; wherein the hearing device comprises a time monitor for monitoring an expiry time of a subscription for the hearing device provided by a subscription server, wherein the hearing device is configured to perform an action when the time monitor detects that the expiry time of the subscription is reached.

A hearing aid is described which incorporates an antenna integrated into the housing that is configured to radiate with linear polarization such that the electric field is perpendicular to the head of a wearer. The described technique results in lower propagation losses from ear to ear and an improvement in ear-to-ear communications using a far-field link (e.g., in the 2.4 GHz band).

A hearing aid device configured to communicate wirelessly with an external device is disclosed. The hearing aid device comprises a housing with a microphone, an amplifier, where the hearing aid device comprises an antenna and either: a) a tube configured to deliver sound acoustically from a receiver in the housing to an ear mould or a dome or electrically to a receiver in an ear mould or a dome or b) a hook configured to deliver sound acoustically from a receiver in the housing to an ear mould or a dome. The antenna extends along at least a portion of the tube or the hook.

The disclosure presents a method and a hearing device comprising a first portion adapted for being arranged behind an ear of a user for providing a signal, an output transducer for converting the signal to an acoustic output, a coupling element coupled to the first portion, and wherein the coupling element is adapted for transmitting at least the signal or the acoustic output. Furthermore, the hearing device comprises an antenna which includes an external antenna part and an internal antenna part, where the internal antenna part includes a first antenna element, a second antenna element where a first end of the second antenna element is arranged at one end of the first antenna element and is connected thereto, and where a second end of the second antenna element is connected to a ground plane, and a third antenna element which is spaced at a distance from the second antenna element and connected to the first antenna element, a feeding unit configured to supply a current to the antenna via the third antenna element, a wireless interface for receiving and/or sending data by means of the antenna, and wherein the coupling element comprises the external antenna part, and where the external antenna part is connected to the internal antenna part.

Embodiments herein relate to hearing assistance devices that can control other devices based on hearing assistance device events and/or status. In an embodiment, a hearing assistance system includes a hearing assistance device that can include a control circuit, a microphone in electrical communication with the control circuit, an electroacoustic transducer for generating sound in electrical communication with the control circuit, and a power supply circuit. The hearing assistance device can be configured to initiate sending a hearing accommodative command to a separate controllable device upon occurrence of a hearing assistance device event. The hearing assistance device event can be raised by detection of at least one of the hearing assistance device not being worn by the subject, the hearing assistance device in a not-in-use operating state, the hearing assistance device entering a recharging mode, and the hearing assistance device entering a shut-down sequence. Other embodiments are also included herein.

A headpiece including a housing, a headpiece magnet carried by the housing, and a headpiece antenna carried by the housing.
