Patent ID: 8139802

Claim:
A hearing apparatus, comprising: a first coil for inductive transmission; a second coil for inductive transmission arranged orthogonal to the first coil; a third coil for inductive transmission arranged orthogonal to the first coil and to the second coil; an evaluation circuit connected to all three coils, wherein in the evaluation circuit, all the coil signals with the same sign are summed for a first output signal and two of the three coil signals with the same sign and the third coil signal with the other sign respectively are summed for a second, third and fourth output signal, with the third coil signal for the second output signal being assigned to the first coil, for the third output signal to the second coil and for the fourth output signal to the third coil, and wherein the output signal which exhibits the highest level of the four output signals is selected by the evaluation circuit for further processing.
