Abstract

Active noise control for use by individuals using magnetically coupled hearing aids is realized by generating a true representation of the handset input signal, which is employed to drive a separate external field coil. The external field coil is positioned between the handset receiver and the handset acoustic output ports so that it is in close proximity to a user's ear cavity and, hence, to the magnetically coupled hearing aid. Also, in some embodiments of the invention, a magnetic shield is employed between the handset receiver and the external field coil to inhibit the magnetic leakage field from the receiver element from mixing with the magnetic field from the external field coil.
