Abstract
A wireless communication method of a hearing aid includes extracting an audio signal through a first hearing aid, determining a beam forming vector as a beam toward a rear of a user wearing the first hearing aid and a second hearing aid. The method may also include pre-coding of the audio signal using the beam forming vector, and transmitting the pre-coded audio signal to the second hearing aid through a first antenna. The first hearing aid may include the first antenna and the second hearing aid includes a second antenna.
