Abstract (en)
[origin: EP3110170A1] A hearing aid having a hearing aid housing, the hearing aid housing having a first end and a second end, is provided, comprising a microphone configured to receive an audio signal, a processing unit configured to process the audio signal for compensating a hearing loss of a user, a speaker for providing the processed audio signal to the user, a battery, one or more wireless communication units for wireless communication, a first antenna and a second antenna for emission and/or reception of an electromagnetic field being interconnected with each one of the one or more wireless communication units. The battery is provided closer to a second end of the hearing aid than to a first end of the hearing aid, and the second antenna is provided between the battery, such as between a center axis of the battery, and the second end of the hearing aid. It is an advantage of the hearing aid that a first antenna and a second antenna are provided in the hearing aid, increasing the wireless communication capabilities of the hearing aid.
