Impressions should be done by a qualified audiologist. Good impressions are the number 1 way we can ensure a comfortable fit and proper seal of your IEM.
With the jaw wide open (No bite block), the impression material should fill the entire ear with no voids. A deep, second bend canal impression and a full helix are essential for proper fit, retention, and for minimization of the occlusion effect. A good build up of material on the outer bowl of the ear will be necessary to create correct room for electronics and connections. The preaurical skin pit should be included in the impression to ensure proper placement of the cable connection.
