A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11778394B2) describes a hearing device with several unique features. The device includes a carrier board, a chip, a processing unit, a coil, a hearing device housing, and a battery. The assembly and the coil are accommodated within the hearing device housing, with the battery positioned closer to the second end of the housing than the first end.

One notable aspect of the device is the arrangement of components. The battery is positioned closer to the second end of the housing, while the assembly and the coil are located between the battery and the first end of the housing. This configuration allows for efficient use of space within the device.

The patent also mentions the inclusion of one or more microphones, which are situated between the battery and the first end of the housing. Additionally, the carrier board of the device features an electromagnetic shielding layer, providing protection against electromagnetic interference.

The coil is coupled to the carrier board, and the board itself is designed to shield the coil from the assembly. The carrier board also contains conductive traces that transmit power from the battery to the microphones.

The device is further equipped with a rechargeable battery and a rechargeable battery controller. This allows for convenient and sustainable power usage.

The carrier board is divided into different sections, with the assembly coupled to one section and the coil coupled to another. The arrangement of these sections can vary, with different angles and planes forming between them.

Overall, this patent describes a hearing device with a unique configuration of components, efficient use of space, and features that enhance functionality and protection against interference. The inclusion of a rechargeable battery and various microphone arrangements further contribute to the device's versatility and convenience.
