Abstract
Arrangement for adjusting and fixing the relative position of two components of an active or passive hearing implant. A first one of the elements is rod-shaped at least in the fixing region. The other of the elements, at least in the fixing region, is sleeve-shaped and can be plastically cold-deformed by a crimping tool or is made as a belt loop which can be tightened and in the fixed state loops around the rod-shaped part over an angle of at least 360.degree.. The two elements are joined permanently to one another without play by cold-flow deformation of the sleeve-shaped part or by force-fit and/or form fit when the belt loop is tightened.
