Abstract

A hearing device comprises a receiver module for insertion into an ear canal of a user of the hearing device. The hearing device comprises a signal processor, and a controller. The receiver module comprises an output transducer, a vent having a vent valve device configured to open and close the vent. The controller is configured to electrically manipulate the vent valve device to be in a first position or in a second position based on a first signal received from the signal processor whereby the vent valve device is configured to move between the first position and the second position in response thereto. When the vent valve device enters/arrives in the first position a first sound is produced. When the vent valve device enters/arrives in the second position a second sound is produced. The first sound and/or the second sound are detectable by one or more input transducers.
