How are they made?

Your audiologist will help you choose the best product for your needs. Once this is decided, the audiologist will begin the process of making an impression of your ears. After a careful examination of the ear canal, the audiologist will place a small piece of cotton or foam into your ear canal. Then, the ear canal will be filled with a soft silicone material that will set after a few minutes. Once the material has set, the audiologist will carefully remove the impressions and will send them to a lab for manufacturing. Once the new molds have arrived, you will be contacted for an appointment to ensure a good fit and make sure you know how to use and care for your new custom hearing protection devices.
