Abstract

Die Erfindung gibt eine Vorrichtung und ein Verfahren zur Verminderung einer durch unsymmetrisch ausgebildete Feldlinien mindestens einer Hörgerätekomponente verursachte Störeinkopplung in eine Empfangsantenne einer drahtlosen Datenübertragungseinrichtung eines Hörgeräts an. Die Vorrichtung umfasst mindestens ein im Hörgerät angeordnetes erstes Mittel, durch das die Unsymmetrie der Feldlinien reduziert und die Feldverbiegung korrigiert wird. Zusätzlich kann auch die Empfangsantenne geometrisch derart an das äußere Störfeld der Hörgerätekomponenten angepasst werden, dass sich die durch Feldeinkopplung induzierten Störströme in der Antenne kompensieren. Vorteilhaft daran ist, dass dadurch Störeinkopplung in die Empfangsantenne reduziert wird.

Figure imgaf001
The invention provides a device and a method for reducing interference caused by asymmetrically formed field lines of at least one hearing device component in a receiving antenna of a wireless data transmission device of a hearing aid. The device comprises at least one first means arranged in the hearing aid, by means of which the asymmetry of the field lines is reduced and the field bending is corrected. In addition, the receiving antenna can also be geometrically adapted to the external interference field of the hearing device components in such a way that the interference currents induced in the antenna are compensated by field coupling. The advantage of this is that this interference is reduced in the receiving antenna.
