1. A hearing device assembly comprising:
a behind-the-ear unit; and
an in-the-ear transducer module;
wherein the behind-the-ear unit and the transducer module are configured to electronically communicate via a communication interface connecting the behind-the-ear unit and the transducer module;
wherein the transducer module is configured to assert a signal via the communication interface during boot of the behind-the-ear unit or when the transducer module is coupled to the behind-the-ear unit; and
wherein the behind-the-ear unit is configured to detect the signal asserted by the transducer module, and wherein the behind-the-ear unit is also configured to determine whether the transducer module comprises a microcontroller.
