摘要： A hearing system having a hearing device, including a receiver antenna assembly with a receiver core having a relatively high magnetic permeability and a receiver coil wound around the receiver core, operably connected to a rechargeable power source, and a hearing device charger, including a transmitter antenna assembly, with a transmitter core having a relatively high magnetic permeability and a transmitter coil wound around the transmitter core, operably connected to a power supply. The respective configurations of the hearing device and the hearing device charger may be such that when the hearing device is in a charging position on the hearing device charger, the receiver core and the transmitter core together provides a closed loop path for magnetic flux.

摘要： A hearing device charger including a charger housing and a hearing device support post, associated with the charger housing, including a top wall, with a top recess that extends a first distance in a first direction from an open end to a closed end and is configured to receive a portion of the hearing device housing, and a side wall that extends away from the top wall in the first direction and defines a support post outer perimeter and a support post outer recess that extends inwardly from the support post outer perimeter and extends a second distance away from the top wall in the first direction that is greater than the first distance and is configured to receive the hearing device removal handle. A transmitter coil may be associate with the hearing device support post, and a power supply may be operably connected to the transmitter coil.

摘要： Small meander line antenna for in-the-ear hearing device, and associated systems and methods are disclosed. In one embodiment, a hearing device includes a housing configured for insertion in an ear canal of a user; and a face plate of the housing configured to carry electronic components of the hearing device. A meander line antenna is operatively coupled to the electronic components of the hearing devices, where conductive traces of the meander line antenna are at least partially shaped as meandering folds that are configured perpendicularly with respect to a principal plane of the face plate.
