Abstract (en)

A method for determining a sensor position for a sensor on a housing (12) of a hearing device (10) comprises: receiving an ear canal model (32) of at least a part of an ear canal of a user of the hearing device (10), wherein the ear canal model (32) models at least a shape of an inner surface of the part of the ear canal; determining a housing model (38) of the housing (12) of the hearing device (10) with the ear canal model (32), wherein the housing model (38) models at least a shape of an outer surface of the housing (12) of the hearing device (10); and determining a 3D position of a sensor (24) of the hearing device (10) on the housing model (38), which 3D position (52) is determined from the ear canal model (32) and optionally a housing template, such that the sensor (24) is positioned at a predefined place in the ear canal, when the hearing device (10) is positioned in the ear canal of the user.
