A hearing instrument to be worn behind or in the auricle, has an external earpiece, worn in the auditory canal and is connected by an earpiece tube to the hearing instrument housing. The hearing instrument has a flexible adjustability of the earpiece tube connection both in length and in rotational position. The hearing system has a housing, an earpiece, and an earpiece tube connected to the housing and the earpiece, with an earpiece tube connector connecting a housing-side segment of the earpiece tube to an earpiece-side segment of the earpiece tube. The earpiece tube connector forms an electrically conducting connection that is mechanically stable in respect of release and allows variable and reversible longitudinal displacement and rotation of the two segments in relation to one another. The earpiece tube connector, by the housing and earpiece being connected is therefore disposed in-line in the earpiece tube. It establishes both the electrical and the mechanical connection between housing and earpiece.
