Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Antenneneinrichtung für Hörinstrumente, insbesondere für im Gehörgang zu tragende Hörinstrumente. Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, ein Hörinstrument, insbesondere IDO-Hörinstrument, anzugeben, das ein hinsichtlich Übertragungs-Bandbreite verbessertes Datenübertragungssystem mit nicht oder nur unwesentlich vergrößertem Platz- und Energie-Bedarf anzugeben. Ein Grundgedanke der Erfindung besteht in einer Antenneneinrichtung für ein Hörinstrument umfassend eine Antennenanordnung mit einem Spulenkern aus magnetisch permeablem Material, die eine bevorzugte Sende- und Empfangs-Raumrichtung aufweist, und eine weitere elektrische Hörinstrument-Komponente, die elektromagnetische Störstrahlung emittiert, wobei zwischen der Antennenanordnung und der weiteren Hörinstrument-Komponente ein zumindest teilweise flächiger Schirm aus magnetisch permeablem Material angeordnet ist, und wobei der Schirm quer zur Sende- und Empfangs-Raumrichtung der Antennenanordnung mit einem Abstand von 50 bis 150 Mikrometern zum Spulenkern angeordnet ist. Der optimale Abstand ergibt sich einerseits daraus, dass mit zunehmenden Abstand der Signal-Rausch-Abstand der Antenne zunächst zu- und dann wieder abnimmt, mit einem Maximum in der Größenordnung von 100 Mikrometern. Andererseits nimmt die Schirmwirkung zwischen Antenne und weiterer Hörinstrument-Komponente mit zunehmendem Abstand zunächst zu, um dann bei einem Abstand von Größenordnungsmäßig 100 Mikrometern in eine Sättigung überzugehen. Zudem soll wegen der gesamten Baugröße ein minimaler Abstand eingehalten werden.
