Abstract

A hearing apparatus with an external receiver is to be made even smaller. Provision is accordingly made for a hearing apparatus with a housing and a receiver device that is removably electrically coupled to the housing, said receiver device having an electronic identification element and having a receiver that is connected to an electrical cable with a sheath cable, with the sheath cable and the electronic identification element being conducted into the housing via a common single-pole connection. As a result of the multiple usage of the single-pole connection for shielding and identification, the female connector of the hearing device and the plug of the receiver device can be made smaller.
