Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9955259A1] A hearing aid device (300) is disclosed which includes a shell (302) of soft pliable material for insertion into the ear (10) of an individual. The soft pliable material is made of soft thermoplastics, thermoplastics elastomers, thermoplastic rubber or any combination of these materials. The device (300) receives, and retains an electronic auditory coupler system (303) in its generally cone shaped hollow body. At the larger end (304) of the shell (302), hearing amplification devices are typically provided. These include a microphone input (306), a volume adjustment control (308), and a battery access port (310).
