A method of customizing a hearing device component, a hearing device component and a hearing device

A method of customizing a component (10,16,20) of a hearing device (12) to an ear of a hearing device user, comprising the steps of:

• a) providing said hearing device component (10,16,20) as a pre-form comprising a shape-memory material;
• b) heating said hearing device component (10,16,20) beyond a first transition temperature to a malleable condition;
• c) keeping said hearing device component (10,16,20) unengaged and/or uncoupled with said ear for a time interval sufficient for said hearing device component (10,16,20) to cool down to a pre-set contact temperature, while said hearing device component retains said malleable condition;
• d) after reaching said pre-set contact temperature, bringing said hearing device component (10,16,20) in contact with at least a portion of the ear of said hearing device user such that said hearing device component (10,16,20) conforms to the individual shape of said at least a portion of the ear;
• e) fixing said shape of said hearing device component (10,16,20) by attending a hardening time of said shape-memory material.
