A hearing aid 102 includes a body member 108 that is provided with an elongate aperture 110. The elongate aperture 110 defines a retaining portion 112 of the body member and a sound-wave capturing portion 114 of the body member. The hearing aid is worn by inserting the external ear through the slot, so the retaining portion 112 is between the external ear and the wearers head and the sound-wave capturing portion 114 extends away from the external ear to form a sound-wave capturing extension of the external ear. Two hearing aids may be joined in a facing relationship by a connecting member (106, see figure 2) which is broken before use. A method of wearing a hearing aid is also provided. |
