A direct hearing device includes an inner actuator element that interacts with a subject's tympanic membrane, the inner actuator element sitting in the subject's ear canal. The direct hearing device further includes an outer component that houses a microphone, circuitry that processes a signal from the microphone, and a battery. The outer component is configured to sit laterally in the subject's ear canal. Advantageously, the outer component is separable form the inner actuator element.
