The present invention relates to a modular hearing aid having a base unit
and a detachable earmold. A battery, an earmold tip and a receiver can be
integrated with the earmold. The earmold can also include a removably
attached module. The module can have a shell, electronics, a receiver or
a microphone. A hearing aid also includes a flexible hearing aid tip
having a vibration isolator portion and a mushroom shaped tip portion.
The vibration isolator portion mechanically decouples a receiver from a
hearing aid base unit while the mushroom shaped tip portion provides an
acoustic seal in the ear canal of a user. The internal components of a
hearing aid can be potted to attenuate vibrations created by the receiver
during operation.
