Abstract:
A hearing assistance device includes a housing component ( 12 ) hosting a transceiver ( 68 ) and processing circuitry arranged in a compact block structure ( 50 ). A small feed loop ( 40 ) is mounted on the compact block structure ( 50 ), and is electrically connected to the transceiver ( 68 ). The compact block structure ( 50 ) is adapted for carrying the small feed loop ( 40 ), and the housing component ( 12 ) includes an integrated antenna element ( 30, 80 ). The housing component ( 12 ) and the compact block structure ( 50 ) are provided with a set of cooperating mechanical guiding components for maintaining the small feed loop ( 40 ) and the antenna element ( 30, 80 ) in a well-defined mechanical connection.

Claim (Index 14):
A method of manufacturing a hearing assistance device comprising steps of:\n providing the housing component and the compact block structure with a set of cooperating mechanical guiding components; mounting a small feed loop on the compact block structure, and connecting the small feed loop electrically to the transceiver; providing an antenna element as an integral part of a housing component; aligning the housing component and the compact block structure by means of the set of cooperating mechanical guiding components for establishing and maintaining a well-defined mechanical connection between the small feed loop and the antenna element.
