ABSTRACT:
The invention specifies a receiver support for snapping into an earmold with a spherical section and with a conical section, which is embodied on the end facing the earmold and which tapers towards the earmold. The earmold comprises an adapter element permanently arranged in the earmold, into which the receiver support is able to be detachably firmly inserted. The adapter element features a bead-shaped depression, with which the spherical section of the receiver support can form a positive fit, so that the receiver support is supported to allow tilting or deflection in the adapter element. The invention also specifies the use of a thermoplast with selected properties for the manufacturing of the adapter element. The advantage is the secure and durable snap-in connection between a receiver support and an earmold.
