Abstract

A hearing device that can be produced particularly efficiently has a housing, which can be inserted into an auditory canal of a person wearing the hearing device, and also a flexible retainer dome releasably fastened to the housing. The retainer dome serves to support the housing in the auditory canal. The housing has a one-piece housing shell and a face place. A structural unit with a receiver is disposed on the housing shell. The housing shell has a first, front-side opening, which is closed with the face plate, and a second, rear-side opening opposite the first opening. The structural unit protrudes from the rear-side opening with a retainer stub. The structural unit is fixed on the housing shell by a securing ring that is mounted externally onto the retainer stub.
