Abstract
A miniature hearing aid (1) includes a microphone (12), a receiver (14) an amplifier (15), and a battery connectable via a contact (18), all of which are contained in a housing (2,3). The amplifier is constructed of a printed circuit board (20) and a plurality of components (21). In order to save space, the components (21) are countersunk in openings (24) in the circuit board (20) to reduce the vertical dimension of the amplifier. The openings (24) are used as temporary supports and for exact positioning for the components (21) by making them rectangular with cut off edges.
