Abstract
An exemplary hearing device may comprise an in-the-ear ('ITE') component comprising a shell that is custom formed of a soft material by additive manufacturing to fit at least partially within an ear canal of the user. The shell may include a compressible region provided along an outer surface of the shell that is configured to contact a wall of the ear canal. The compressible region may be deformable due to a cavity that is located within the shell in the compressible region and that is configured to deform and/or compress when the ear canal deforms while the ITE component is inserted within the ear canal of the user.
