Abstract

The invention relates to a hearing-aid, worn be-hind the ear, comprising an electric/acoustic transducer which is provided with a loudspeaker housing (53). A loudspeaker di-aphragm (54) is provided in said housing. The housing (53) is mounted in a spring-loaded manner in a capsule (59) in such a way, that the capsule (59) and the loudspeaker housing (53) de-fine an intermediate gap (U53). The front face (R1) of the di-aphragm (54) is connected to the acoustic outlet (S) of the hear-ing-aid, whilst the rear face (R2) is linked to the intermediate gap (U53) via coupling openings (55).
