Claim 15:
16. An in-ear wearable audio device, comprising:
an eartip comprising:
a body having first and second ends, an inner wall extending between the first and second ends to define a hollow passage to conduct acoustic energy, and a deformable outer wall connected to the inner wall of the body at the first end and tapering away from the inner wall toward the second end;
a retaining structure coupled with the body; and
at least one of an electronic component or an electronic component signal trace integrated in at least one of: the inner wall of the body, the deformable outer wall of the body, or the retaining structure; and

an electronics module coupled with the eartip,
wherein the electronic component is integrated in the deformable outer wall or the inner wall, and is configured to perform functions of the electronics module such that the electronics module is reduced in size relative to a reference electronics module in a reference in-ear wearable audio device without the electronic component integrated in the deformable outer wall or the inner wall.
