In-the-ear hearing device
First Claim
1. In-the-ear hearing device comprising at least one functional module and an outer first surface at least substantially enclosing said at least one functional module, at least a part of said first surface being covered with a conformable textile material defining an outer second surface, wherein said textile material has a thickness and thickness elasticity so as to snugly adapt the shape of the device to the individualized shape and dynamic deformation of an individual'"'"'s ear canal.
