Wow so much cheaper than the other customs.

Phil is offering this to me, as my impressions were not perfect. It is a brilliant service so you can get a perfect fit before investing fully. I think more companies should offer this, as it is a lot easier than a full reshell.
The wait's killing me this time round for the shells to get back. I'm convinced that a) the ma shell will fit right off the bat and b)that we've solved the fit issue.
Cheers
I've looked around, but I remember reading something about how some of these DIY kits might use materials not safe for ears. If you have any that you've used in the past and can recommend, would you mind sending me a PM? Thank you.
I'm on an iPad right now so no link, but google "earplug superstore" and you should see it. That's the one I've used many times. Buy the slightly more expensive version which comes with more impression material, in case you mess up.
Oh, that's the one I usually see when I google ear impression kits. Thanks!
No problem. It's a nice kit - I later went on to use the Westone silicone singles because they are cheaper, and I've heard from Phil and some others that the Westone material is not as good. I still got good results from it, but maybe that was luck.
Hi
Well surprise surprise they turned up today.
First the micro shells, and boy are they SMALL. They fit right first time. Maybe a touch of thickening here and there, but on the whole fit comfortably.
Now on to the main shells. Certainly an improvement. My main concern is that the set I had altered was the maximum length one. Now it fits I'm just a little concerned about the long term comfort. However it's a lot better than it was and I could live with this.
So at last positive news and a big thumbs up to CE.
My thinking at this stage is ma2 and ba4 but we shall see.
Cheers
I was considering the Westone singles too because it was cheaper but now that you've said that, I might just go with the ear plug store kit. I think my first impressions done at an audiologist were Westone singles since they were pink.
