Abstract: Small meander line antenna for in-the-ear hearing device, and associated systems and methods are disclosed. In one embodiment, a hearing device includes a housing configured for insertion in an ear canal of a user; and a face plate of the housing configured to carry electronic components of the hearing device. A meander line antenna is operatively coupled to the electronic components of the hearing devices, where conductive traces of the meander line antenna are at least partially shaped as meandering folds that are configured perpendicularly with respect to a principal plane of the face plate.

Abstract: The invention relates to a back cover for an electronic device and a method for retaining and locking a detachable electronic unit in an internal compartment of an electronic device. The invention relates to a electronic device comprising an internal compartment for retaining a detachable unit; a back cover for closing said internal compartment and covering the unit; and electronic contacts for establishing an electrical connection with said unit. Said back cover comprises a guiding means for pushing and holding said unit against said contacts and for securing said electrical connection. Said guiding means and said contacts are dimensioned to press the unit between said guiding means and said contacts with a force adequate for securing said electrical connection while said back cover is closed.
