4. The method according to claim 2, wherein said further part is permanently deformed to form a connection pad.
5. The method according claim 1, further comprising the preceding step of forming said substantially flat structure from a blank by etching.
6. A carrier element for a hearing aid manufactured by providing a substantially flat conducting structure, moulding a plastic material around selected areas of said structure leaving at least one gap bridged by said substantially flat conducting structure, and permanently deforming said substantially flat structure by bending it along said at least one gap.
7. The carrier element according to claim 6, comprising a further part of said substantially flat conducting structure protruding from at least one of said areas and arranged so as to form a fixed contact of a switch.
8. The carrier element according to claim 6, wherein said plastic material around at least one of said selected areas of the structure comprises a plane surface.
9. The carrier element according to claim 6, wherein said plastic material around at least one of said selected areas of the structure comprises a surface provided with recesses exposing partially said conducting structure.
10. The carrier element according to claim 6, wherein said plastic material around at least one of said selected areas of the structure comprises a fulcrum for a switch operating element.
11. The carrier element according to claim 6, wherein said plastic material around at least one of said selected areas of the structure comprises a surface adapted to form part of the housing of a hearing aid.
12. The carrier element according to claim 6, wherein at least one connection pad is arranged in the vicinity of the plane surface so as to allow it to contact a terminal of an electronics module mounted on said surface.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
