Abstract

An behind the ear hearing aid is disclosed comprising a microphone for reception of sound and conversion into a corresponding audio signal, a signal processor for processing the audio signal, a receiver for converting the audio signal to an output sound signal and a transceiver for wireless data communication being interconnected with an antenna for emission and reception of an electromagnetic field. The antenna extends on a first side of the hearing aid and a second side of the hearing aid and a first segment of the antenna extends from proximate the first side of the hearing aid to proximate the second side of the hearing aid. A feed system is provided for exciting the antenna to thereby induce a current in at least the first segment, wherein the feed system is configured such that the current induced in the first segment has a first local maxima proximate the first side of the hearing aid and a second local maxima proximate the second side of the hearing aid.
