| 1. A method of manufacturing a hearing device wherein a three-dimensional model of an application area for the device at an
individual is made and the three dimensional model is further treated by modelling, and then a shell of the hearing device
is produced departing from the three dimensional model and at least one unit is assembled to the shell, the method comprising
the steps of:
treating the three dimensional model includes providing a three-dimensional orientation system to the three dimensional model
for local orientation relative to said three-dimensional orientation system;
said modelling includes adding a model of a unit and/or removing and/or adding a part from or to said model, and preserving
information indicative for location of said unit and/or removing and/or adding a part relative to said three-dimensional orientation
system;
said producing of said shell includes assigning a marking to said shell identifying said three-dimensional orientation system;
said assembling includes controlling local arrangement of said unit and/or removing and/or adding a part from or to said shell,
based on said orientation system as identified at said shell and said information preserved.
