Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A cable for a hearing device, comprising a plurality of conductors, comprising conductors arranged in twisted pairs (TP 1 to TP 4 ) wound around a plastically deformable core wire (FW).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A hearing device, comprising an In-the-Ear module comprising multiple electronic components and a cable comprising a plurality of conductors, the plurality of conductors comprising conductors arranged in twisted pairs wound around a plastically deformable core wire, the cable connecting the In-the-Ear module, the In-the-Ear module having at least two input lines and two output lines, wherein at least one of the following applies: the two input lines are carried in one of the twisted pairs, or the two output lines are carried in one of the twisted pairs, and wherein the In-the-Ear module has at least two ground lines carried in another one of the twisted pairs. 2. The hearing device according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the twisted pair conducting the input lines or the twisted pair conducting the output lines are/is shielded by a respective shielding wrap arranged around the twisted pair. 3. The hearing device according to claim 1 , wherein the In-the-Ear module has at least two power supply lines carried in another one of the twisted pairs. 4. The hearing device according to claim 3 , wherein the twisted pair conducting the input lines is arranged next to the twisted pair conducting the power supply lines and next to the twisted pair conducting the output lines. 5. The hearing device according to claim 3 , wherein the twisted pair conducting the input lines is arranged next to the twisted pair conducting the power supply lines and next to the twisted pair conducting the at least two ground lines. 6. The hearing device according to claim 5 , wherein two filler strands are arranged between the twisted pair conducting the input lines and the twisted pair conducting the output lines, wherein one respective filler strand is arranged between all other pairs of twisted pairs arranged next to each other.
