Abstract

The invention relates to a hearing aid with a microphone, loudspeaker, battery and other electrical or electronic components, in which there is a tube with its free end opening outwards between the temporal bone in the region of the pays petrosa and the auricle and its other end leading through an aperture in the outer ear into the acoustic duct; it receives sound at its free end and transmits the sound to the eardrum at the hearing duct end.
