    Earmolds
    Children's Center at Sutter Medical Center, Sacramento

    Earmolds are connected to the hearing instrument and directs the sound into the ear canal.

    The shape of each ear is comparable to a fingerprint: it's different for everyone. Therefore a soft paste is used to make an impression of the ear and from this an individual earmold is produced. Earmolds are custom-made to ensure a precise comfortable fit and an effective channeling of the sound into the ear.

    As your child grows, the earmold will need to be remade. Often the hearing aid will produce a whistling sound if new earmolds are needed.
