A hearing device comprising:
- a housing;
- a battery door attached to the housing to pivot in relation to the housing about a pivot axis;
- and
- a closure member attached to the housing and having a first closure arm with a first distal end;
- wherein the battery door comprises a closure device having a first primary closure element configured to engage with the first closure arm when the battery door is in a closed position;
- and
- wherein the first closure arm is flexible such that the first distal end displaces in a first direction when the battery door is moved from an open position to the closed position, the first direction in which the first distal end displaces having a primary directional component parallel to the pivot axis.
A closure member for a hearing device comprising a closure body and a closure arm, the closure body and the closure arm forming an angle having a value that is anywhere from 90 to 170 degrees, wherein the closure arm has a distal end configured to abut against a component at a battery door of the hearing device when the battery door is in a closed position.
