Abstract

This disclosure presents a hearing aid comprising an assembly. The assembly comprises: a microphone for reception of sound and conversion of the received sound into a corresponding first audio signal, a signal processor for processing the first audio signal into a second audio signal compensating a hearing loss of a user of the hearing aid, and a wireless communication unit configured for wireless communication. The assembly of the hearing aid comprises an antenna system. The antenna system comprises a first feeding structure and a radiating segment. The first feeding structure is connected or coupled to the wireless communication unit. The radiating segment may be adjacent to and galvanic disconnected from at least a part of the first feeding structure. The at least a part of the first feeding structure is galvanic disconnected from the radiating segment if a capacitive coupling between the at least a part of the first feeding structure and the radiating segment is between 0.5 pF and 20 pF.
