What Are Ear Impressions?
Ear impressions are detailed moulds of your ear canal and outer ear, created to produce custom-fitted devices like hearing aids, earplugs, and monitors. The process involves filling the ear canal with a specialised material that hardens into a precise mould, capturing your ear’s unique shape and contours.
These impressions are essential for achieving maximum comfort and functionality in custom devices. Whether for medical, professional, or personal use, accurate ear impressions ensure your devices perform optimally and provide a comfortable fit.

Types of Ear Impressions We Offer
We provide a wide range of ear impression services tailored to different needs, ensuring precise and comfortable fits for all applications.
Standard Ear Impressions
Our standard ear impressions are the most commonly requested type. These impressions are designed for general uses such as custom earplugs, hearing aids, and basic in-ear monitors. This method captures a mold of the outer ear and ear canal, ensuring that your custom devices will fit snugly and comfortably.
Deep Ear Impressions
For those who need a more precise fit, deep ear impressions extend further into the ear canal. This is perfect for custom hearing aids or in-ear monitors where a deeper, more secure fit is required.
Open Ear
This impression is designed for individuals who require a custom fit but need the ear canal to remain partially open. This is ideal for people who use devices like open-fit hearing aids or hearing protection where airflow is needed.
Canal-Only
For those looking for the most discreet and minimalist fit, canal-only impressions focus solely on the ear canal itself, leaving the outer ear untouched.
Full Shell Impressions
This type of impression offers a more complete seal and is often used for custom earplugs, hearing aids, and in-ear monitors that need to block out external noise or provide a deeper fit.
Open Vented
These impressions include small vents that allow for better airflow, making them ideal for custom earplugs used in environments where some sound leakage is desired, such as for musicians or those needing hearing protection without complete sound isolation.
