Abstract (en)

[origin: US2018317032A1] A method for producing a supporting frame includes providing two frame halves for receiving and holding electrical and electronic assemblies of a hearing aid including a transmitting and/or receiving unit for electromagnetic waves. An antenna element is integrated into at least one of the frame halves. The supporting frame is produced in a two-component injection-molding process with a first plastic material which is suitable for laser direct structuring and with an electrically non-conductive second plastic material which has an increased degree of mechanical stability in comparison to the first plastic material. A supporting frame of a hearing aid and a hearing aid having a supporting frame are also provided.
