Abstract

A device for the acoustic connection of a hearing device to a ear mould or for the acoustic coupling of a hearing device respectively comprises a tube (1) with at least two segments (3, 5). The at least two segments do have different mechanical properties and/or are designed such that they are formed within at least almost one plane.
