The electronic assembly is placed within a chamber in a housing sized to fit within the ear of the hearing aid user. The chamber includes an internal guide channel and mounting surface for locating and positioning the electronic assembly. A volume encompassed within a hearing aid housing may be analyzed, such as with computer software, to identify a location within the chamber to position the electronic assembly, and then the electronic assembly may be incorporated into the housing using a guide channel and mounting surface of the housing for locating and positioning the electronic assembly in the identified location. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract which will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure.
