3D-printing
3D technology allows quick, efficient and effective production of custom earmolds - an essential step in the modern hearing care process. Up to 60% of the hearing aid fitting depends on the correctly selected and high-quality custom earmold. Without a custom earmold even the perfectly fitted top-notch hearing aid may not be as effective to a hearing-impaired person.
Custom earmolds are made to order at the INTERSOUND 3D laboratory according to client's ear canal impression. It is important that the earmold follows the shape of the ear canal as perfectly as possible.
A custom earmold made by a professional with high-quality material ensures perfect acoustics, reliable position in the ear, and user’s comfort. Forget in-ear pressure, “feedback” whistle, and occlusion effect!
The material and shape of a custom earmold must be selected with the hearing professional’s advise. The choice depends on hearing loss degree, client's anatomical features, and the hearing aid model.
Advantages of the 3D-printing:
- precise control over the entire production process;
- shorter earmold production time;
- high precision of 3D printing enables optimal custom in-the-ear and in-the-canal hearing aids, earmolds or earplugs perfectly matching the ear impression;
- saving order options;
- • no need to re-take an ear impression in case of re-ordering.
