Abstract

See full text

A hearing aid has a suspension portion received in the wearer's concha bowl and an electronics portion. The suspension portion is formed of a flexible rubbery material, while the electronics portion includes a shell formed of a rigid plastic material. The suspension portion is provided as a ring having an annulus, and bears off a tragus contact area, an antitragus contact area and an antihelix contact area to support the receiver in a suspended, cantilevered position within the ear canal. The microphone can be within the flexible ring housing portion. The hearing aid makes much more comfortable contact with the concha bowl.
