ACS suggests me with closed mouth impression.

It really depends on the vendor.

what happens when you yawn/eat/wiggle your jaw?
Does it lose seal? I know i'm nitpicking but does it cause a slight leakage too?

No. I don't lose seal whatsoever. Also, I use them on the go.

But if you're laughing very hard(ie. reading the UM3X thread), your canal
is change shape, which would start to break a bit seal. I never bother
me. I believe some universal fit will break seal already.

But when you're dealing with customs, imo, the fit either work or not(which needs re-fit).

i think it is more of a comfort thing that the audiologist suggests to balance pressure in you head. i could be wrong tho.

acutally.. When you open your mouth. your canal is expand to its biggest.

Vendors suggest doing impressions either way. But open month impressions will just result in a more "in-there" feeling

I know westone suggests the bite-block half-closed method of making molds.

I did that with my UE11 impressions and I got a perfect fit first time. I might end up going with Starkey for the IE8. I would really appreciate if someone who is on the process can post a review as soon as it gets them.

bossnass15 was asking me if I loss seal if I open my month wide open. aparently, it doesn't. There is close to no movement of IEM & no sign of leakage at all.

Can you try opening your mouth with IEM in and report back, Thanks!

I took the Starkey route and will have to wait about 2 weeks for it. (living outside the States FYI).

No seal loss for me when opening my mouth.. actually is the only phone I can laugh or even eat without losing the seal.
