    Abstract: The application relates to a hearing device configured to be placed in the ear canal of a user, the hearing device comprising a forward path adapted for processing an input sound and providing an output sound representative of the input sound, the hearing device comprising an assembly comprising first and second modules adapted for being in mechanical contact with each other when the hearing device is operationally assembled to form a functional unit. The object of the present application is to provide a user friendly hearing device adapted for being located in an ear canal of the user. The problem is solved in that the first module comprises a power supply unit, and the second module comprises an input unit, a signal processing unit and an output unit in operational connection, wherein the first and second modules are configured to provide that the first and second modules are reversibly attachable to and detachable from each other; and the first and second modules are electrically connected to provide that units of the second module are energized by the battery of the first module, when the first and second modules are operationally assembled. This has the advantage of providing relatively simple and easy to use hearing device. The invention may e.g. be used for hearing aids, in particular extended wear hearing aids adapted for being located deep in the ear canal of a user.

    Abstract: The present invention regards a communication system (10; 10a; 10b; 10c) comprising at least one communication device (36, 36a, 36b, 36c) configured to connect to other communication devices (36, 36a, 36b, 36c) via an audio and data link (52). The communication device (36, 36a, 36b, 36c) comprises at least a receiver unit (40), an output transducer (32), a microphone (22, 22′), a transmitter unit (42), and a control unit (38). The receiver unit (40) is adapted to receive audio signals and data signals via the audio and data link (52). The output transducer (32) is adapted to stimulate the hearing of the user (12, 20, 30) according to the audio signals received via the audio and data link (52). The microphone (22, 22′) is adapted to receive input sound (44) and generate an audio signal from the received input sound (44). The transmitter unit (42) is adapted to transmit audio signals and data signals via the audio and data link (52). The control unit (38) is connected to the receiver unit (40), to the output transducer (32), to the microphone (22, 22′), and to the transmitter unit (42). The control unit (38) is adapted to control the signal transmission between the receiver unit (40), the output transducer (32), the microphone (22, 22′), and the transmitter unit (42). The control unit (38) is further adapted to generate a data signal corresponding to the communication device (36, 36a, 36b, 36c) for identifying the communication device (36, 36a, 36b, 36c). And the control unit (38) comprises a processor (46) which is adapted to process audio signals and data signals. The communication device (36, 36a, 36b, 36c) is connectable to an attachable digital receiver (26) via the audio and data link (52). The attachable digital receiver (26) has a shape that matches a shape of a hearing aid (28) in order to be attached to the hearing aid (28). The communication devices (36, 36a, 36b, 36c) of the communication system (10; 10a; 10b; 10c) can be Smartphones.
