Abstract: A receiver in the ear (RITE) component (1) for a hearing aid, said RITE component comprising a receiver (9) and a receiver housing (3), and a connector (4) comprising coupling means (7) for coupling the RITE component to a BTE housing component of said hearing aid, and said connector (4) comprising an electrically conductive means (6). The RITE component (1) further comprises a fixture (5) to connect the receiver (9) in the receiver housing (3) and the connector (4), said fixture (5) comprising a spring element (15) and at least one contact terminal (16) adapted for abutting contact with at least one corresponding contact terminal (17) on said receiver (9).

Abstract: An earplug for a hearing aid adapted for engagement with earpieces made of materials with a comparatively high hardness. The earplug comprises a resilient sleeve and a shell, the shell having an outer portion adapted to fit within a user's ear canal and a central bore, the central bore having a first abutment shoulder adapted for retaining the resilient sleeve inside the shell and a second abutment shoulder adapted for providing a stop for the resilient sleeve and for the earpiece. Hereby the resilient sleeve is able to combine relatively relaxed manufacturing tolerances with precise positioning of the earpiece inside the earplug.
