The device includes a housing adapted to be worn on or behind the ear, hearing assistance components enclosed in the housing, and an earmold adapted to be worn in the ear. The device further includes a sound tube adapted to transmit sound from the housing to the earmold, and an earhook adapted to connect the housing to the sound tube. The earmold and the sound tube are printed three dimensionally (3D) as one piece that is custom fit for the patient using a computer-aided design software (CAD) model. Further, a first end of the sound tube is integral with the earmold.
