Abstract
A fractal antenna can be incorporated in a hearing device to optimize wireless communication capabilities of such a device. A particular fractal structure having fractals of a generally + shaped geometry can be advantageous when used as a fractal antenna. The fractal antenna is implemented as a conductive trace on a substrate and can be implemented on an integrated circuit in the hearing aid device.
