Abstract

The fastening device holds and connects operating elements (2) to the base plate (1) of the hearing aid. The operating elements have terminals for electrical connection to further electric or electronic components of the hearing aid. The fastening device has a sleeve (4) which has a slit (4') extending from one end of the sleeve to the other. Independent claims also cover a hearing aid with such a device and a method of fastening the elements using such a device.
