I have unusually very straight ear canals. Whilst I have gotten custom moulds that work for me, they often still move around a bit and it takes multiple tries to finally get something manageable each time.
Any tips?
I get a physical impression each time and curious if an ear scan would make a difference. All the audiologists I’ve visited over the years have never done it though.
I try to sit very still when the impression is made, not talking or even unblocking my ears once the process has started. I’ve also tried with a small bite and ask for a deep impression - I used to wear CICs so comfortable with being a little uncomfortable for a bit to get it right.
I’ve also tried different materials from the classic acrylic to titanium and more recently silicon which I’m having some better success with.
