Abstract: A hearing aid shell and tip for retaining therein hearing aid electronics. The shell body is shaped to conform with the inside shape of the ear to reduce rotation when positioned therein. A head section of the shell positioned deepest in the ear is elliptical in shape to reduce rotation. The tip covers the head section of the shell to separate the shell from direct contact with ear wax. One embodiment of the tip includes grasp tabs to assist in removing the shell and tip from the ear canal and to assist in establishing a snug fit in the ear canal. A second embodiment of the tip has no grasp tabs and is sufficiently pliable to ensure a snug fit around the head section of the shell.
