Abstract
A hearing device has an ear fitting piece, a housing part wearable behind the ear, and an earpiece tube connecting the ear fitting piece and the housing part. The transmission of mechanical vibrations between the ear fitting piece and the housing part via the earpiece tube is prevented by damping elements located in the region of the connection points between the ear fitting piece and the earpiece tube, or between the earpiece tube and the housing part. The damping elements damp mechanical vibrations in the transition region. A damping element that prevents the transmission of mechanical vibrations can also be present on or in the earpiece tube. The feedback tendency in the appertaining hearing device is thereby reduced.
