Abstract:
An ear-worn electronic device includes a housing comprising a first end and an opposing second end, a first side and an opposing second side, and the first and second sides extending between the first and second ends. The first side is configured to contact the wearer's head. A battery is disposed within the housing proximate the first end. An acoustic receiver or an acoustic receiver connector is disposed within the housing proximate the second end. Electronics including a near-field magnetic induction (NFMI) radio are disposed in the housing. A directional magnetic antenna is situated in or on the housing and coupled to the NFMI radio. The antenna comprises a core having a complex shape and a coil wound around a portion of the core. The core comprises a closed end oriented toward a source of magnetic noise and an open end oriented away from the source of magnetic noise.

Claim (Index 15):
An ear-worn electronic device configured to be worn by a wearer, comprising:\n a housing comprising a first end and an opposing second end, a first side and an opposing second side, and the first and second sides extending between the first and second ends, the first side configured to contact the wearer's head; a battery disposed within the housing proximate the first end; an acoustic receiver or an acoustic receiver connector disposed within the housing proximate the second end; electronics including a near-field magnetic induction (NFMI) radio disposed in the housing; a magnetic antenna situated in or on the housing and coupled to the NFMI radio, the antenna comprising a core and a coil wound around a portion of the core; and a magnetic shield positioned between the antenna and a region of the second side of the housing, the magnetic shield configured as a low reluctance path to a source of magnetic noise impinging on the second side of the housing.
