Abstract
An ear-worn hearing device and an electrical cable assembly for such a hearing device are disclosed. The electrical cable assembly includes a discrete retention member rotationally and axially fixing the retention member at least partially about an end portion of an electrical conductor conduit. The retention member also axially and rotationally fixes the cable assembly to a housing. The housing can include an acoustic receiver and be configured for insertion at least partially in the user's ear. Alternatively, the housing can be part of a connector plug that mates with a base unit worn outside the user's ear.
