Abstract:
A hearing device adapted to be worn by a wearer comprises a shell configured for placement on an exterior surface of an ear of the wearer. The shell comprises a first end, a second end, a bottom, a top, and opposing sides, wherein the bottom, top, and opposing sides extend between the first and second ends. Circuitry is provided within the shell comprising at least a microphone, signal processing circuitry, radio circuitry, and a power source. A folded antenna is coupled to the radio circuitry and extends longitudinally along one of the bottom and the top and along the opposing sides between the first and second ends. The folded antenna encompasses at least some of the circuitry and forms an elongated gap between the opposing sides. The elongated gap faces the other of the bottom and the top.

Claim (Index 16):
A hearing device adapted to be worn by a wearer, comprising:\n a shell configured for placement on an exterior surface of an ear of the wearer, the shell comprising a first end, a second end, an axial length defined between the first and second ends, a bottom, a top, and opposing sides, wherein the bottom, top, and opposing sides extend between the first and second ends; circuitry disposed within the shell comprising at least signal processing circuitry, radio circuitry, a power source, and a speaker or a receiver; and a folded antenna encompassing at least some of the circuitry and coupled to the radio circuitry, the folded antenna comprising:\n a belly extending longitudinally between the first and second ends of the shell; \n opposing first and second sides extending from the belly and along the opposing sides of the shell between the first and second ends; and \n an elongated gap opposite the belly and extending continuously between the opposing first and second sides; \n wherein the folded antenna is a double-layer structure comprising a first layer continuous with or connected to a second layer; the first layer is disposed on an exterior surface of shell; and the second layer is disposed on an interior surface of the shell.
