Abstract

Der für Antennen notwendige Einbauraum soll weiter reduziert werden. Daher ist vorgesehen, dass die Antenne (HA) im Material des Gehäuses oder an dem Hörgerätegehäuse (HG) als elektrisch leitende Schicht ausgebildet ist. Damit wird das Gehäuse (HG) als Trägermaterial für die Antenne (HA) genutzt und es kann auf den sonst beispielsweise auf der Leiterplatte vorzusehenden Platz für die Antenne verzichtet werden. Auf diese Weise kann das Hörgerät weiter miniaturisiert werden.
