1. An ear-wearable electronic device comprising:
a first housing;
a second housing including a protrusion configured to be seated on an ear and connected to the first housing;
a printed circuit board disposed in an internal space formed by the first housing and the second housing;
a wireless communication circuit disposed on the printed circuit board;
an antenna carrier disposed in the internal space, the antenna carrier including a first surface facing the protrusion, a second surface opposite to the first surface, and a plurality of through holes passing through the antenna carrier; and
a conductive pattern formed over the first surface and the second surface through a first through hole of the plurality of through holes and electrically connected to the wireless communication circuit,
wherein a groove structure including a point that is in contact with a second through hole of the plurality of through holes is formed on the second surface of the antenna carrier, and
wherein the wireless communication circuit is configured to transmit and receive a wireless signal by providing power to a portion of the conductive pattern located on the first surface.
