Hearing device for placement in the ear having a receiver

An in-the-ear (ITE) part configured for placement at least partially within an ear canal of a user, the ITE part comprising:

• a connector configured for coupling with a BTE part, the BTE part configured to be worn behind a pinna of the user;
• an earmould comprising a front end, a rear end, and a hollow cavity, wherein the front end of the earmould is configured to face a tympanic membrane of the user during use, the front end comprising a front opening, the front opening comprising a front filter, and the rear end comprising a rear opening;
• a receiver in the hollow cavity;
• a sound passage extending between the front opening and the rear end;
• an active vent comprising a valve, wherein when the valve is in an open state, the valve provides a fluid connection through the sound passage, and wherein when the valve is in a closed state, the valve hinders the fluid connection through the sound passage;
• a faceplate that is attached to the rear end of the earmould;
• and
• a filter coupled to the faceplate, wherein the filter extends around at least a part of the connector.
