Abstract

The invention concerns a slim tubing, hookless hearing instrument (1) with a behind-the-ear component that has a housing (2) and a receiver (3) arranged in the housing. Further, the hearing instrument has a slim sound conduction tubing acoustically coupling an output of the receiver with a tubing output to be arranged in an interior of a user's ear canal. To that end, the tubing may comprise, as is known from the state of the art, a contiguous interior ranging from the receiver outlet to an orifice to be placed in the ear canal's interior. The hearing instrument further comprises an earpiece (10) suitable of being anchored in the ear canal. The tubing comprises a flexible tube (6) with a first end attached to the behind-the-ear component, and a second end attached to the earpiece. According to an aspect of the invention, the tubing comprises at least a first tubing section with a first tubing interior cross section, and a second tubing section with a second tubing interior cross section, the second tubing section at a larger distance from the receiver than the first tubing section, areas of the first and the second interior tubing cross sections being constant and different from each other.
