Abstract
A hearing apparatus to be worn on or in the ear is provided, which includes a housing. The housing is here formed at least in part from an electrochrome polymer. Since electrochrome polymers represent a homogeneous material, this means that they can be printed onto the housing in very thin layers. According to a second aspect the present invention relates to a hearing apparatus to be worn on or in the ear, including a housing, which has an organic light-emitting diode. Because organic light-emitting diodes are able to separate out light in a wide variety of colors, this permits a high contrast to the environment and the colors appear stronger. Unlike conventional light-emitting diodes this is however performed in a printing process, so that it is possible to provide any surfaces with organic light-emitting diodes.
