Abstract
In an in-the-ear hearing aid, or a hearing aid with an in-the-ear otoplastic, a first magnetic or magnetizable element is arranged in or on the housing of the hearing air or, respectively, in or on the otoplastic. This element interacts with a second magnetic or magnetizable element arranged behind the ear or, respectively, implanted in the ear, so that the force of attraction of the two magnetic or magnetizable elements provides an additional holding and fixing of the hearing aid or the otoplastic, respectively, in the ear.
