HEARING DEVICE INCLUDING ANTENNA UNIT
First Claim
1. A hearing device comprising a housing that is configured to at least partly be positioned in the ear canal of a wearer, the housing having a first part configured for extending into the ear canal of the wearer and a second part configured to be positioned towards or at the opening of the ear canal of the wearer, the hearing device comprising:
- an input transducer for registering ambient sound and providing an electrical signal representing the ambient sound,a sound processor for processing the electrical signal,an output transducer to provide the processes electrical signal to the wearer,an antenna unit for reception and/or emission of electromagnetic energy, the antenna unit positioned in the second part of the housing,a communication unit for processing of data to be transmitted or received via the antenna unit, anda transmission line connecting the communication unit and the antenna unit, the transmission line configured to transfer a signal from the communication unit to the antenna unit and/or from the antenna unit to the communication unit, so as to minimize parasitic effects on the antenna unit, wherein at least part of the transmission line is at least partly shielded.

Abstract
A hearing device having an antenna unit is disclosed. The hearing device comprises a transmission line connecting a communication unit and the antenna unit, or at least being part of a connection between them. The transmission line may be configured to transfer a signal from the communication unit to the antenna unit and/or from the antenna unit to the communication unit, so as to minimize parasitic effects on the antenna unit.
