Abstract
A hearing device is made by manufacturing a first functional part of a first material to provide a first function for the hearing device. A second functional part is manufactured of a second material to provide a second function for the hearing device. The first and second parts are assembled to form a composite part to provide both of the first and second functions at the hearing device. The second functional part is injection molded integrally with the first part while simultaneously performing manufacturing of the second part and assembling of the second part and the first part. The manufacturing and assembling of the first and second part take place within a common mold.
