Disclosed herein, among other things, are methods and apparatus for mitigating antenna interference for hearing assistance devices. One aspect of the present subject matter includes a hearing aid for a wearer including hearing aid electronics and an antenna including a loop segment. According to various embodiments, one or more conductors are connected in parallel with a portion of the loop segment. The conductors electrically short the loop segment to change current distribution in the antenna. The conductors reduce unwanted coupling between the hearing aid electronics and the antenna, according to various embodiments.
