Problems solved by technology

[0008] Continued use of external devices or wireless receivers, known in the art, can cause the batteries of the hearing aid to drain rapidly, requiring frequent battery replacements and increasing the operating costs of the hearing aid
Receiver types with integrated power supplies contain separate batteries, which add weight, size and complexity to the receiver

Embodiment Construction

[0023] In the context of the present invention, a distinction is provided between two types of radios, radio link devices or radio transmission methods.

[0024] The first type of radio is suitable for short-distance communication. This type of radio is also known as inductive low frequency or near field. In a typical implementation, short-range radios are designed such that the interaction between the transmitter and receiver of the wireless link is characterized primarily by magnetic induction in the near field. The term low frequency is to be understood as a relative term compared to the corresponding term high frequency which is used below to describe the second type of radio.

[0025] The second type of radio is suitable for long-distance communication. This type of radio is also known as radio frequency (RF), high frequency, or far field. In a typical implementation, the long-range radio is designed such that the characteristics of the interaction between the transmit...

Abstract

A hearing aid (100) comprises first wireless link means configured to receive a first data signal using a first carrier frequency and second wireless link means configured to receive a second data signal using a second carrier frequency, wherein a first electrical antenna of the first wireless link means also forms part of a first band pass filter of the second wireless link means. The invention provides a hearing aid, a binaural hearing aid system and a method of receiving a first and second wireless signal.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to hearing aids. The present invention more particularly relates to hearing aid systems with dual mode radios. Background technique [0002] In the context of the present invention, a hearing aid is to be understood as a small microelectronic device designed to be worn behind or in the ear of a hearing-impaired user. Hearing aid systems can be monaural and include only one hearing aid, or binaural and include two hearing aids. The hearing aid fitter adjusts the hearing aids according to the prescription before use. Prescribing is based on hearing tests to obtain a so-called audiogram of the non-aided hearing performance of the hearing-impaired user. Prescriptions are studied to obtain a setting in which the hearing aid amplifies sounds at frequencies in those parts of the audible frequency range in which the user has hearing loss, in order to alleviate the user's hearing loss. A hearing aid includes one or more microph...
