Can you give the rest of us some advice on how to get a set of these? Did your local audiologist do this, and if so, what was the cost. They look really great!

The price is all in (from making the ear impressions to remaking the units if they don't fit well)... so, I just had to try out all the different styles and materials for my IEMs You should check with your local audiologist about it. If they don't specifically provide service to make 'custom moulds for in-ear-monitors\earphones', then you might want to ask them if they can make custom moulded ear plugs for swimming. I'm guessing it's just a matter of using a dremel at the right spot from that point on *G* @Toughnut: Thanks! |
