Hey Everyone,
I recently purchased some Westone AC2's, and after a refit they still are muddy and the seal breaks when I sing. I have an appointment tomorrow to get another set of impressions done and send them off again.
My audiologist, though an authorized Westone dealer, was not very competent in doing IEM impressions. I had to tell her last time to use a bite block, and she found a 1 inch wooden block for me to bite down on the first minute and then we pulled it out. I believe that this has caused the fit issues.
What is the general rule for doing IEM impressions? What should I ask her to do/make sure she does right so other refits are not necessary? The audiologist is about an hour away... and having to send them off/pick them up so many times is adding a lot of unforseen cost in gas and time off work.
Thank you for your help.
