Sensors and new configurations of component placement are supported using the present assembly, including, but not limited to telecoils, and GMR or TMR sensors. Various electromagnetic interference issues are addressed. In some examples a shielded set of wires are included. In some examples a twisted pair of wires is included. Various combinations of wires for different applications are supported with the present connector system.

A shell (10) for a hearing device, and a method of producing the same. The shell (10) comprises a sub-shell (11) produced by a generative method, and a thermoformed hull (12) covering the subshell (11). The sub-shell (11) comprises lateral openings (13) covered by the thermoformed hull (12) so as to render the shell (10) more flexible in the region of the openings (13), and thereby to relieve pressure exerted by the shell (10) due to dynamic changes in the shape of the wearer's ear canal during jaw movement.

A hearing device including a device body to be worn behind the ear of a user. The hearing device includes an amplifier module and a receiver module, an ear canal plug adapted to be worn into the ear canal of the user, and a receiver including an electro-acoustical converter having an acoustical output. The amplifier module and receiver module are detachably attached to each other along the longitudinal extension of the device body.

A sound collection equipment is disclosed. The sound collection equipment includes a speaker, a microphone and a processing unit. The speaker is used for generating a test sound. The microphone is used for receiving the test sound. The processing unit is electrically connected to the microphone and the processing unit. The processing unit is used for determining if the energy of the test sound exceeds a predetermined energy value and judging that the sound collection equipment is in a usage state when the test sound does not exceed the predetermined energy value.

A personal wearable EEG monitor comprises a base part (1) having signal processing means (23), and an electrode part (2) with at least two electrodes (11, 12) for measuring an EEG signal of a person. The electrode part (2) comprises means for converting the EEG signal into a digital signal. The EEG monitor comprises a databus for transferring data between the base part (1) and the electrode part (2) and for providing power from one part to the other. The databus is adapted for application of two electrical wires. The invention further provides a method for communicating between two parts of an EEG monitor.
