Abstract
A hearing instrument has a housing which is wearable in an ear and which includes a concha portion and a thin canal portion protruding from the concha portion. The canal portion has a twice-curved shape to fit to the anatomy of the auditory canal. A damping body is inserted in the canal portion which is made of an elastic material to mount a receiver in vibration-damping fashion. The damping body has a pocket for accommodating the receiver and an adjoining sound tube. The sound tube is angled at a first angle with respect to a longitudinal axis of the pocket, thereby forming a bend in the damping body, and its end distant from the pocket terminates in a support plate which rests on a shoulder of the canal portion. The support plate is angled obliquely with respect to an axis of the sound tube.
