3D imaging for the perfect fit hearing aids

^^^ That is incredibly COOL - and my absolute dream to have done on my own ear canals. Ahhhhh… to live in civilization where you have access to this kind of cutting-edge technology.

Wouldn’t we all rather have footwear that was laser-image fitted to OUR own feet? Yet, here we spend $6K for a medical device that typically is just fitted with a rubbery, imprecise silicone head on it. The putty-imaged molds are prone to leakage-squeakage cuz they can be altered by pulling them out, shipping them in or even during manufacture.

One thing I DO wonder about with laser imaging tho: how do you decide what time of day to go in for the sizing? My own ear canals seem to be swollen in the morning, but gradually open up during the day as blood circulates. This has been a more recent problem since hitting the big SIX-OH, but still … I always preferred to get my impressions taken after 1pm for optimal fit.
