Abstract: A hearing device may include a housing, a microphone, and an acoustic element. The housing may include a shell and a microphone port disposed between an outer surface of the shell and an inner surface of the shell that defines a cavity within the shell. The microphone may be disposed within the cavity of the shell and acoustically connected to the microphone port. The acoustic element may be disposed on the outer surface of the shell or at least partially within the microphone port. The acoustic element may include a substrate and fibers extending from the substrate. At least a portion of acoustic energy incident upon the acoustic element may be received by the microphone.
