Abstract: A method for manufacturing a hearing device is disclosed. The hearing device comprises a speaker, a first chamber, and a sound channel arranged between the first chamber and the surroundings of the hearing device or a second chamber. An element of a thermoplastic material being in a solid state is arranged in the sound channel. A laser light is applied to the element to thereby activate the element to change from the solid state to a liquid state. The element then changes from the solid state to the liquid state filling out a cross-section of the sound channel and thereby sealing the sound channel. Finally, cooling of the element is allowed leading to a change of the element from the liquid state to solid state while filling out the cross-section of the sound channel.

Abstract: A headband for a headset comprising a carrier, a first strap and a wrapping is disclosed. The carrier is curved to conform to a wearer's head. The first strap is attached to the carrier at two attachment points. The wrapping is attached to the carrier and arranged to conceal the first strap. The first strap and the wrapping together form a head abutment portion extending between the two attachment points and configured to abut to the wearer's head when the headband is worn by the wearer. At least one of the first strap and the wrapping comprises a flexible and elastic material configured to stretch along the length of the carrier between the two attachment points, thereby providing the head abutment portion configured to adapt to the shape of the wearer's head.

Abstract: A hearing device configured for audio communication is disclosed. The hearing device comprises a wireless communication unit and a processing unit, the wireless communication unit being configured to receive and transmit audio signals. The processing unit is configured to receive and/or transmit the audio signal from/to the wireless communication unit, process the audio signal in a first frequency band or in a second frequency band, and detect the quality of the audio communication. If the audio signal is processed in the first frequency band, the processing unit is switching to processing in the second frequency band if the quality of the audio communication is below a first predetermined threshold. If the audio signal is processed in the second frequency band, the processing unit is switching to processing in the first frequency band if the quality of the audio communication is above the first predetermined threshold.
