Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2019175194A1] The present invention discloses a holding device for attachment to the ear of a user, wherein a flexible connecting element arranged between an end piece and a holder at the end ensures that the holding device is kept safely on the ear even if subjected to relatively great strain by external action, such as e.g. a change of position of the head, without exerting an unpleasant pressure strain on individual anatomical structures of the ear. A flexible basic structure means that the holding device according to the invention permits use for both ears of a user without the holding device needing to be individually adapted for each ear by means of a structural alteration. A box adapted for storing the holding device furthermore ensures safe storage of the holding device in phases of non-use, serves to prepare for immediate usability of the holding device and prevents deformation of the holding device as a result of improper storage.
