Thanks, but I dont have a car. Figure I can take a bus there...Just wondering, how much is the cost of making a pair of ear impression?

Hearing Care of Carson City charged $10 per ear. They didn't have a bite block but gave me a random object to bite down upon. The receptionist was extremely nice, helpful, and talkative. Mark, the audiologist, in contrast, was quiet and somewhat reluctant to answer questions. I'm not entirely sure about the quality of the impressions.

Here's their info:
Hearing Care of Carson City
408 North Roop Street, Carson City, NV 89701-4739

Hello: I can be reached at: HearingDynamics@aol.com. The impressions are free if you order the product directly from me.

The earmolds are free if the product is ordered directly through me.

Anybody have a positive experience with an audiologist in the Washington DC metro area, one who understands custom IEMs and can make reliable earmolds or impresssions?

A few years ago I went with a UE-recommended audiologist, and I had to provide quite a bit of coaching for the "pro" who made my impressions, and they were still botched the first and second tries.

Today I called a Westone-listed audiologist who was clue-free (but did quote me $150 for Westone ES3Xs, so perhaps I should do business).

My experience with customs has been that it's all about the quality and accuracy of the impressions.

 

[Jack Kontney]

The following two audiologists have taken the Sensaphonics 2-day seminar on IEMs for audiologists and are very qualified:

Pam Mason, Bethesda MD 301-296-5790
Mariah Menichino, Johns Hopkins in Baltimore 410-955-6151

In DC specifically, try:
Tricia Ashby, 202-363-2363

Good luck.

Any other recommendations in the San Francisco bay area?

Also, anyone have experience with

H.E.A.R.
1405 Lyon St.
San Francisco, CA 94115?

I saw them recommended by a Westone member of the trade., but it's a bit more expensive ($75) than the others I've seen.

 

[Nonchalance]

Got mine done for $35 total.

Josh was very professional, I had a great experience. He was interested in the fairly new company that I'm going with (Fisher) and I'll be bringing these in for some free tests

I just spoke to a local audiologist and they wanted to know which company I was sending the molds to because, according to them, they need to give them special instructions. I think it's safe to assume this audiologist does not specialize in IEM's. They are a typical shop so I assume their focus is on hearing aids and hearing testing. Anyway can anyone think of anything special I need to tell them that would be specific to molding for IEM's?

I can say that Dr. Beth Orliss did a great job with my impressions.  She was very meticulous and made sure she explained everything to me before hand.  I'll post again when my custom buds come in from her impressions.
