The engaging mechanism is configured to be engaged to and released from the second module. The movable separating mechanism is coupled to the engaging mechanism and is configured to separate the first and the second module from each other and to join the first and the second module together. The base receptacle is configured to accommodate the separated second module. The carrier unit is detachably attachable to the base. The carrier unit has a carrier receptacle and a fixing mechanism. The carrier receptacle is configured to accommodate the hearing aid. The fixing mechanism is configured to releasably fix the first module in the carrier receptacle. In an attached state of the carrier unit, the base receptacle and the carrier receptacle are intercommunicated by a path being configured to allow the second module to move between the carrier receptacle and the base receptacle.
