Today’s hearing aid technology offers greater bandwidths, the ability to shape the frequency response, and the option to provide patients with an open-fit acoustic configuration that does not require a custom earmold. These developments have allowed professionals to gravitate away from earmolds and in some cases completely abandon the use of them. At Starkey Hearing Technologies, we feel that earmolds still serve a purpose and offer a valuable contribution to the fitting process. The purpose of this course is to provide a refresher on all things related to current earmold technology and demonstrate that earmolds can provide professionals a way to showcase their artistry, which can help avoid commoditization.
With the proliferation of communication technologies that could benefit from custom earpieces, a new market beyond traditional hearing aid earmolds awaits the savvy practitioner.

The purpose of this course is to provide the participants with a greater understanding of earpiece style and material options as well as addressing some of the more common questions that arise when working with custom earpieces.
