         3 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein connecting the attachment feature to the listening device includes passing a portion of the attachment feature through the tunnel. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein creating the point of anchor includes creating a cavity in a portion of the listening device. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein a portion of the attachment feature is configured to attach to the cavity and wherein connecting the attachment feature to the listening device includes attaching the portion of the attachment feature to the cavity. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein creating the point of anchor includes applying an adhesive. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein creating the point of anchor includes applying a polarized material to the listening device.
