Disclosed herein, among other things, are apparatus and methods to provide improved connections for components of hearing assistance devices. Various embodiments include an apparatus including a receiver case configured to house a hearing assistance device receiver, the receiver case including a spherical receiver spout having an opening. The apparatus also includes a receptacle housing having a spherical socket adapted to mate with the spherical receiver spout to form a ball and socket connection. An insert within the spherical socket is configured to establish a retained interference fit with the opening of the receiver spout when the connection is formed so as to create an acoustic seal therebetween.

The present disclosure relates to methods, apparatus, and device for constructing and fitting a component that is designed to be worn at least partially within an ear canal. The methods and apparatus may be used in hearing aids such as receiver-in-canal hearing aids and completely-in-canal hearing aids. The techniques may also be use in constructing and fitting other devices including audio earbuds and ear plugs. A soft sleeve 120 covers a body portion 110. A light-curable material 140 is interposed between the body portion and the soft sleeve. The device comprises a light-emitting element 111 which can be activated via a connection in order to cure the light-curable material 140, thus providing a custom fit of the device to the ear canal of the wearer.
