A hearing aid device is formed of a shell, face and battery door. The face is cut from a faceplate assembly which includes a battery opening and a hinge pin. Opposed ends of the hinge pin are formed integrally with opposed side walls of the battery opening for reduced width. The battery door includes a battery compartment for housing a round battery. An opened end and a closed end of the battery compartment is formed between opposed sides of the battery door and the extent of the battery door is less than 0.130 inches to allow deeper insertion of the hearing aid into an ear canal. Components of the face corresponding to operational components of the hearing aid are arranged to reduce the required face dimension for deeper insertion of the hearing aid.

Battery door and faceplate arrangement for a completely in the canal

A hearing aid includes a face plate, a battery door, and a switch. The faceplate has an opening formed therein. The battery door is movable within the opening. The switch is operably disposed in the hearing aid so that movement of the battery door activates the switch for control of the hearing aid.
