Abstract
A novel idea for improving the off-body transmission
range for hearing instruments is presented. The idea is to use
the ear-to-ear communication to improve the range. If one of
the hearing instruments loses the connection to an off-body
accessory it can reestablish the connection through the other
hearing instrument. The median improvement of the measured
and simulated gain of the hearing instrument is 9.7 dB and
7.0 dB, respectively. This corresponds to a transmission range
improvement of 204% and 123% under free-space conditions
and 74% and 49% if a ground reflection is assumed.
