A peripheral for an electronic device having a speaker is provided. The
peripheral includes an input device for placement proximal to the speaker
for receiving audio information from the speaker. The peripheral includes
an output device connected to the input device that is positioned distal
from the input device and away from electromagnetic signals generated by
the device. The output device presents the audio information to a hearing
aid proximal to the output device. The output device is positioned at a
distance such that the electromagnetic signals experienced by the input
device is less than the signals experienced by the hearing aid. As a
result, deleterious effects of signals otherwise experienced by the
hearing aid are reduced.
