Abstract
An in-ear hearing device including an adjustable cable assembly is disclosed. The cable assembly includes a shape-configurable portion between an end portion connected an in-ear unit and a flexible end portion adjustably connected to a behind-the-ear (BTE) unit. The flexible end portion is retractably insertable into a housing of the BTE unit to adjust a length of the cable assembly between the in-ear unit and BTE unit. A cable-retention member of the BTE unit is engageable with the flexible end portion of the cable assembly to fix the cable assembly relative to the BTE unit.
