What is it Like to Get Audiologist Impressions?
Every person has ears that are individually unique. And just like a fingerprint, each of your ears are completely distinct in shape, depth and size. Ultimate Ears earphones provide a fit customized to your individual ears’ geometry, which results in unparalleled sound quality, fit and comfort. To create this specialized fit, a set of ear impressions is used to craft your unique ear molds, which results in a set of custom earphones that will provide an exclusive auditory experience designed for your ears alone.
The traditional approach for making impressions requires a visit to the audiologist and this still remains the primary approach for professional stage musicians. Please see this link for AUDIOLOGIST INSTRUCTIONS for the most accurate ear impressions. Be sure to take these with you to your audiologist appointment.
Audiologist Impressions
What are they?
Highly detailed, medical grade impressions that reach the second bend of the ear canal to provide a ‘locked in’ fit.
Who needs them?
Professionals such as musicians, performers, speakers, sound engineers and technicians, or anyone working on or around a stage.
Where do you get them?
At the office of an audiologist.
How are they made? Or What is the Process?
Make an appointment to visit an audiologist. Once there, a large syringe is filled with silicone and carefully inserted into your ear. It is typically cool and gooey until it settles into place much like a dental impression. After several minutes, the audiologist checks to ensure the silicone has hardened and prepares to remove each impression. They are carefully spun out of your ears, which can be temporarily uncomfortable, but leave you with deep ear impressions that capture every detail of each of your individual ears. The impressions are sent to Ultimate Ears to begin building your specially tailored earphones.
Why choose audiologist impressions?
You are a professional using in ear monitors as a specialized piece of equipment that is critical to your craft.
