1. A hearing aid comprising:
a housing;
an RF antenna arranged in the housing, the RF antenna configured to receive and/or transmit electromagnetic RF signals within a first frequency range;
an electronic component configured to send electric signals to and/or receive electric signals from an electronic circuit via an electric lead, wherein the electric signals are within a second frequency range that does not overlap with the first frequency range;
a decoupling element connecting the electric lead to the electronic circuit; and
a capacitor connecting at least one of the electric lead and the electronic component to the antenna.
