For the first time in 5 years I wore my hearing aids without allergic reactions (new ear mold with new audiologist)

OK. WOWIE! I just surfed up to the Westone custom molds website and am FLOORED at the choices here! They’ve taken the old fashioned custom ear mold and literally made it JEWELRY to show off!

I see there are many color options under “Silicone” but what I wonder is what that silicone is made of? They also have “slick-sil” that supposedly repels bacteria even. I can only wear the super soft, double domes as pictured here without much of a reaction. All other materials hard, soft, firm, acrylic, whatever seem to make my ears burn like boiled lobster tails.

Also, how would I get my Phonak Lumity Life L90 receivers on the ends of these? Would I have my audi send an ear impression in to Westone? I am SUPER intrigued with these options. If I could find a material I’m not allergic to that perhaps has more “grip” than the double domes, I may benefit from better quality sound without an allergic reaction.

THOUGHTS anyone out there?
