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.
