A comfortable, custom made earmold is extremely important in the successful fitting of both hearing protection and hearing instruments.

  • The earmold is a duplicate of the ear impression you send us ~ please take full and complete impressions, with sufficient canal depth.

  • We do our best to work with all impressions. However, complete and full impressions are required at Hocks Hearing Healthcare Products to guarantee fit and comfort for all custom made earpieces.

  • The finished impressions should meet the following criteria:

                        1. The concha is round and full

                          2. The canal is past the 2nd bend

                          3. The helix is filled in and complete

                     4. The impression fills the ear cavity, including the tragus, concha, and antihelix 

  • Please look each impression over carefully.

  • If an impression does not meet the above criteria, please take another impression.

HEARING AID EARMOLDS

  • silhouette hearing aid mold, skeleton mold, ring hearing aid mold

    SILHOUETTE

    Sometimes called a ring or skeleton, this popular style of invisible mold is lightweight and features concealment, control, and excellent retention.

  • 3/4 SILHOUETTE HEARING AID MOLD, SKELETON, RING MOLD

    3/4 SILHOUETTE

    The 3/4 Silhouette is much the same as a Silhouette, but with a portion of the back ring removed. This provides additional concealment and comfort if the ear is tender or comprised of hard cartilage.

    The 1/2 Silhouette is the same design as the Silhouette, but with a portion of the back ring, or anti-helix, removed, providing additional concealment and comfort.

  • cross-over silhouette hearing aid mold, skeleton mold, ring mold

    CROSS-OVER SILHOUETTE

    The Cross-Over Silhouette is designed as a normal Silhouette, with the exception of a non-occluding opening where the entire canal is reduced in size to slightly larger than the tubing. It is used in the most severe nerve cases, where it is desirous to get the greatest of high frequencies and the minimum amount of low frequencies.


  • phantom hearing aid mold

    PHANTOM

    The Phantom is designed to provide an invisible mold with maximum strength and comfort. This shell-shaped mold is recommended for those who require durability, but want concealment.

  • 1/2 phantom hearing aid mold, earmold

    1/2 PHANTOM

    Excellent concealment and customer satisfaction is achieved with this inconspicuous design. The impression of the ear canal must be long and full, with sufficient undercuts for retention.

  • phantom with iron canal, hearing aid mold

    PHANTOM WITH IROS CANAL

    This mold is the same as the Phantom, except the canal portion has been reduced to a diameter slightly larger than the tubing. This provides an opening to "drain off" the lows and may be worn when a person has a hearing loss in one ear and near normal hearing in the other.

  • canal lock hearing aid mold

    CANAL LOCK

    This popular mold consists of the canal and lower portion of the concha rim for retention.
    The impression must be long and full with sufficient undercuts for retention.
