Abstract: A hearing aid device configured to be inserted into the ear canal of a hearing aid user. The hearing aid includes a receiver, a hearing instrument body, and a connection member extending between the hearing instrument body and the receiver. The connection member is a permanent part of the hearing aid device and the connection member has a stiffness that allows the receiver to be inserted into the ear canal by moving the hearing instrument body towards the eardrum. The connection member achieves a first stiffness sufficiently large to insert the hearing aid device into the ear canal and achieves a second significantly reduced stiffness which makes the hearing aid device comfortable to wear for the user.

Abstract: A hearing aid is disclosed. The hearing aid comprises a microphone adapted to receive sound signals, an amplifier configured to amplify signals received by the microphone and output means (e.g. a receiver). The hearing aid is configured to detect if speech is received by the microphone and the hearing aid is configured to provide amplification of the detected sound signals according to a non-speech mode when no speech is detected. The hearing aid is configured to provide amplification of the detected sound signals according to a speech mode when speech is detected. The amplification carried out according to the non-speech mode is different from the amplification carried out according to the speech mode. The invention also discloses a method for amplifying sound signals received by a microphone in a hearing aid.
