Abstract:
A hearing aid includes a microphone unit arranged in a hearing aid housing. The microphone unit is oriented in the housing relative to a microphone inlet element to cause a pressure equalization that allows acoustic cancellation of vibrations in the microphone unit.

Claim (Index 1):
A hearing aid, comprising:\n a housing having an outer wall enclosing a microphone unit, the outer wall separating the microphone unit from an environment of the hearing aid, the microphone unit comprising a first chamber having a first volume and a second chamber having a second volume; a first inlet opening being arranged at the first or second chamber of the microphone unit; a movable element separating the first chamber and the second chamber; and a microphone inlet element connecting the first inlet opening to a second inlet opening formed in the outer wall of the hearing aid housing, the microphone inlet element being configured to guide sound from the environment via the second inlet opening to the first inlet opening of the microphone unit; where a microphone unit orientation is defined by a first vector perpendicular to the movable element and extending in a direction from the movable element towards the first inlet opening; and where a microphone inlet element orientation is defined by a second vector extending in a direction from the first inlet opening to the second inlet opening; wherein the microphone unit and the microphone inlet element are arranged in the housing so that vibration contributions from the microphone unit to the movable element and vibration contributions from the microphone inlet element are substantially equal but of opposite directions.
