Abstract

An exemplary hearing aid system includes a receiver (16) configured so as to create an insertion loss over the audible range of hearing below about three decibels as compared to the unaided ear. An exemplary hearing aid system also includes one or more of: a micro-receiver positioned in an open-ear configuration within the ear canal (60) of a user; an intermediate connecting portion (20) extending between a sound processing unit (22) and a receiver (16), wherein the intermediate connecting portion includes a stiffening wire provided on at least a portion of the intermediate connecting portion and/or within or on at least a portion of the receiver’; a retaining wire extending from one of the stiffening wire and the receiver, the retaining wire (54) configured to position within a portion of the concha (56) of the ear; an electrical conducting component comprising two wires within distinct channels.
