1. A hearing device comprising a leading sealing element and a trailing receiver and trailing valve, wherein in a longitudinal direction of the hearing device the valve is more distant from the sealing element than the receiver, wherein the receiver and the valve each are unitary items that are separate from each other, and that the receiver and the valve are connected to each other by an interlink, characterized in that the interlink is flexible to enable flexing of the interlink between the receiver and the valve by a mere progressing of the hearing device into an ear canal of a user, and in that a front end of the receiver is received in the sealing element and engages a frontal portion of the sealing element, which frontal portion is equipped with apertures to enable sound from the receiver to escape to the ear canal of the user in front of the sealing element, and that the sealing element is equipped with sealing element holes behind the frontal portion of the sealing element to enable external sounds passing the valve through valve openings 4′ to enter the ear canal of the user in front of the sealing element.
