Patent ID: 7933425

Claim:
A hearing aid device comprising: a housing shell having a hollow interior, said housing shell comprising a shell wall with a wall surface facing said hollow interior; an input transducer disposed in said housing shell that acquires an acoustic signal and transduces said acoustic signal into an electrical input signal; a signal processing unit contained in hollow interior of said housing shell that processes said electrical input signal to generate a processed electrical signal; an output transducer in said housing shell that transduces said processed electrical signal into an output signal that can be humanly perceived as an acoustic signal; a non-planar resonator, selected from the group consisting of non-planar antennas and non-planar coils, that wirelessly communicates with an apparatus that is remote from said hearing aid device; and formations integrally formed on said wall surface of said housing shell that receive and hold said non-planar resonator in said hollow interior, proceeding along said wall surface.
