Abstract

The invention relates to a system comprising a first device which is designed to be arranged in the ear canal and which has a first contact element, as well as a second device having a second contact element. The first and the second contact elements are designed to contact one another and to transmit energy and/or data when in contact with one another. The first and the second contact element are designed to be held in contact with one another via magnetic force.
