Abstract:
A hearing device includes: an input transducer for providing an electrical signal representing ambient sound, a sound processor for processing the electrical signal, an output transducer, an extractor cord, attached to the housing, for removing and/or inserting the hearing device in the ear canal of the wearer, an antenna unit for reception and/or emission of electromagnetic energy, the antenna unit being at least partly disposed within the extractor cord, a communication unit, and a coaxial cable configured as a transmission line connecting the communication unit and the antenna unit. The coaxial cable is 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. The coaxial cable includes a shield and the shield of the coaxial cable is terminated at a battery inside the housing.
