Abstract

Die Herstellung eines Hörhilfegerätes (21) kann durch die Verwendung eines Mikrofonmoduls mit mehreren Mikrofonen (13, 14, 15; 13', 14', 15') vereinfacht werden. Zur Befestigung und elektrischen Kontaktierung der Mikrofone (13, 14, 15; 13', 14', 15') sieht die Erfindung einen Mikrofonträger (1; 1') mit dreidimensional geführten Leiterbahnen (2-12) in MID-Technologie vor. Dadurch kann selbst bei einer komplizieren Mikrofonanordung mit mehreren Mikrofonen (13, 14, 15; 13', 14', 15') ein einziges Mikrofonmodul verwendet werden, an dem alle Mikrofone (13, 14, 15; 13', 14', 15') des Hörhilfegerätes (21) befestigt und elektrisch angeschlossen sind.
