Molding structure for a hearing apparatus, hearing apparatus, and method of producing the molding structure

A hearing apparatus for wearing in an auditory canal, the hearing device comprising:

• an otoplastic;
• a molding structure representing a model for a direct shaping of said otoplastic, said molding structure containing a sealing element for positioning in the auditory canal, and when inserted into the auditory canal, having a side facing an outlet of the auditory canal, said otoplastic connected to a part of the hearing apparatus corresponding to said sealing element, a shape of said otoplastic being configured at least in parts according to said molding structure;
• and a connecting element;
• wherein the part of the hearing apparatus corresponding to said sealing element has a fastening element;
• and wherein said otoplastic and said part are connected to said connecting element, which is coupled pivotably to said fastening element of said part.

A method for producing a molding structure representing a model for a direct shaping of an otoplastic for a hearing apparatus, which comprises the steps of:

• positioning a sealing element in an auditory canal, the sealing element, when inserted into the auditory canal, having a side facing an outlet of the auditory canal;
• inserting a molding mass into the auditory canal, so that the molding mass comes up against the side of the sealing element facing the outlet of the auditory canal and at least partially fills the auditory canal;
• removing the molding mass and the sealing element from the auditory canal;
• and
• connecting the molding mass and the sealing element to one another to form the model, wherein the sealing element defines a shape of a part of the hearing apparatus.
