Hearing aid with an antenna
First Claim
1. A hearing aid with an assembly, the assembly comprising:
- a first side;
a second side;
a signal processor;
a wireless communications unit, the wireless communications unit being connected to the signal processor; and
an antenna for electromagnetic field emission and electromagnetic field reception, the antenna being connected to the wireless communications unit, the antenna having an excitation point;
wherein a first branch of the antenna extends from the excitation point and a second branch of the antenna extends from the excitation point, at least a part of the second branch extending from the first side to the second side, and wherein the second branch has at least one ground connection; and
wherein the ground connection is at the second side.
