  • Patent number: 10701496
    Abstract: A hearing aid (1) comprises a flexible ear tip (9) for an ear piece (8) adapted for insertion into the ear canal of a user. The ear piece comprises a shroud having a generally ball-shaped hollow bulb made of soft resilient material, featuring a mid zone that is adapted for being softer to compression by the contact with ear canal wall than is the case with the end zones. The invention further provides an ear piece, an ear plug, and a component for a communications device.

  • Patent number: 9860651
    Abstract: A hearing aid (1) comprising a behind-the-ear part (2), an in-the-ear part (3) and a connecting part (4) connecting the behind-the-ear part and the in-the-ear part. The in-the-ear part comprises a first end (7) adapted to be aligned in the ear canal in a direction towards the ear drum when in use, and a second end (8) adapted to abutting a part of the ear outside the ear canal when in use. At least one side wall (15, 16) is arranged between said first end (7) and said second end (8). The direction from a centre of the first end to a centre of the second end defines an axis. The connecting part (4) is attached to the side wall and is extending from this side wall in an angle to the axis between 20-70 degrees. The invention also provides a receiver unit for a hearing aid and a method for fitting a hearing aid.
