  • Patent number: 10674288
    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.
