An antenna for wireless communication of a hearing device is shielded efficiently in a simple manner from electrical and magnetic interference fields by providing a coil apparatus and a shielding apparatus. The shielding apparatus has a flexible substrate as its main body and is formed as a single piece. The shielding apparatus is subdivided into three sections by two slits having ends not reaching the edge of the substrate. The coil apparatus is inserted through the two slits in the shielding apparatus in such a way that each of the sections only partially surrounds the coil apparatus in a circumferential direction. The sleeve-type shield can thus be applied on the coil apparatus in a simple manner. A method for manufacturing an antenna for a hearing device is also provided.
