The inclined temple end portion terminates at substantially the bottom of a concave portion in a curvature of the behind-the-end region and is shaped to substantially fit along a curvature of the behind-the-ear region. The spring extends in the direction of inclination of the inclined temple end portion and is a wire or plate spring having high resilience. The ball tip is in a position wherein it contacts the wearers side head at a rear half region of a concave portion in the curvature of the behind-the-ear region.
