Get Custom Ear Impressions for Seamless Hearing Solutions

Personalised hearing devices are the go-to choice for many individuals with auditory problems. Advance Hearing Center offers you immaculate services where our experts take precise impressions of your ears and create a custom mold for earplugs, hearing aids, or in-ear monitors. Thanks to an accurate ear mold impression, the device not only has a comfortable fit but also provides optimal protection and sound quality.

Custom ear impressions are not limited to the field of audiology and are often used by various industries.

  • In-ear monitors for musicians for clarity of sound
  • Earplugs for industrial workers for protection against blasting noises
  • Earplugs for swimmers to keep water out of the ears
  • Hearing aids for individuals who are short of hearing
  • Earplugs for people involved in shooting sports

How Our Professionals Take Ear Impression

We handle this delicate process rather carefully. Our clinic takes a patient-centric approach and implements the right technical skills for the best outcome. The entire procedure requires about 15-20 minutes, and you can resume your routine right afterward.

  • Pre-examination: Count on the professional for an accurate examination with an otoscope. Otherwise, infections of blockages may hamper the impression.
  • Otoblock insertion: This small foam or cotton barrier is placed in the ear canal to keep the impression from going too deep. It protects the eardrum as well.
  • Impression material mixing and insertion: The material is silicone-based and is gently injected into the ear canal to get its shape, ensuring no bubbles or gaps.
  • Setting and removal: The material hardens to get the exact shape of the ear. We remove the ear mold for the hearing aids and examine the ear to check for signs of harm. 
  • Post-procedure care: We check if the impression has come out absolutely accurate and will clean the ears if needed. Finally, we use the impression to create the device.

Note: While there are ear impression kits available in the market, trying to do it yourself comes with a lot of risks. Besides inaccurate impressions, the molding material might get too deep into the ear canal and cause severe damage. So, trust none but the professionals at Advance Hearing Center to get an ear impression of the highest quality.

Ensuring Precise Ear Impressions

The comfort and fit of a custom fit ear device come from an accurate ear mold impression. We are extra mindful of the procedure, as poor or inaccurate impressions can leave the user vulnerable to hearing damage.

  • Hearing Aids: From the fit of the hearing aid to reducing the possibility of buzzing sounds, an accurate ear impression will result in a proper device that makes communication easy.
  • Earplugs: Custom earplugs offer incredible protection to the ear in loud environments. A well-fitted device ensures maximum comfort even during prolonged use.
  • In-ear Monitors: Owing to an accurate ear impression, the in-ear monitor will be able to offer excellent clarity and sound isolation. The user faces no distraction with in-ear monitors.

Is Taking Ear Impressions a Safe Procedure?

Absolutely. As long as there is no infection in the outer or middle ear, inserting a silicone-based material for taking ear impressions is totally safe.

Is There a Possibility for the Ear Impression to Change?

Yes. Our ears grow and change all throughout life, and so, this makes it imperative to get an ear impression every four years. This will guarantee a proper fit of the ear devices.

For How Long Should the Ear Impression Be Disinfected?

Keeping the ear mold for the hearing aid immersed in a disinfectant solution for about 30 minutes will remove all germs. The impression, if done with a hydrophobic material, retains its structural integrity even after being taken out of the water.
