Hearing device cable with twisted pair conductors
The patent US12047749B2 describes a hearing device featuring an In-the-Ear (ITE) module that integrates multiple electronic components connected via a specialized cable. This cable consists of several conductors organized into twisted pairs, which are wound around a plastically deformable core wire. The ITE module is designed with at least two input lines and two output lines, with the configuration allowing for the input or output lines to be carried within one of the twisted pairs. Additionally, the module includes at least two ground lines, which are also housed in a separate twisted pair, enhancing the device's functionality and performance.
Further claims detail the shielding of the twisted pairs that conduct the input or output lines, providing additional protection against interference. The ITE module is also equipped with at least two power supply lines, which are organized in another twisted pair. The arrangement of these twisted pairs is strategically designed, with the input lines positioned adjacent to the power supply and output lines, as well as ground lines. The inclusion of filler strands between the twisted pairs serves to maintain structural integrity and reduce crosstalk, ensuring optimal performance of the hearing device.
